on *:join*: Problem - mIRC Discussion Forums

------------------------------------------------------------------------
on *:join:*:{
if ( $nick == $me ) {
tokenize $char(,) $rconnstat
echo -tc topic $chan * $1
echo -tc topic $chan * $2
}
else {
echo 3 -t $chan * Joins: $nick ( $+ $address $+ ).4 $nick($chan,0) on $chan now.
haltdef
if ( $me isop $chan ) { mode $chan +v $nick }
}
}

This is the code I'm talking about.
Well, I had this join script working, but it was spread trough different remote files.
I decided to clean up the files and nest some things together.
The problem is, now the custom on join message doesn't halt the standard one anymore :s
Could anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

Haltdef and carrot prefix.

Code:

on ^*:join:#: {
  if ( $nick == $me ) {
    tokenize $char(,) $rconnstat
    echo -tc topic $chan * $1
    echo -tc topic $chan * $2
  }
  else {
    echo 3 -t $chan * Joins: $nick ( $+ $address $+ ).4 $nick($chan,0) on $chan now.
    haltdef
    if ( $me isop $chan ) { mode $chan +v $nick }
  }
  haltdef
}

can the first haltdef be deleted?
what does the carrot do?

Yes, you can remove your haltdef.

The ^ event prefix

You can prevent the default text for an event from being shown by using the ^ prefix in an event definition. This allows you to show your own custom event messages.

Thanks!

You're very welcome.
