Ignoring pm's - mIRC Discussion Forums

You see, I have a problem with my latest script. It goes like this:

Code:

alias nomsg {
  if ( $1 != on &amp;&amp; $1 != off &amp;&amp; $1 != status ) {
    echo $active *** Syntax error (value must be on, off or status)
  }
  if ( $1 == on ) {
    echo $active *** Not accepting messages..
    set %nomsgstatus on
  }
  if ( $1 == off ) {
    echo $active *** Accepting messages..
    set %nomsgstatus off
  }
  if ( $1 == status ) {
    if ( %nomsgstatus = on ) {
      echo $active *** /nomsg status: on
    }
    if ( %nomsgstatus = off ) {
      echo $active *** /nomsg status: off
    }
  }
}
on *:text:*:?: {
  if ( %nomsgstatus == on ) {
    msg $nick Sorry, not accepting messages at the moment..
  }
}

And this works perfectly well. However, I would like to add another twist to it. When you have it turned on, you shouldn't see what people tell you in pm's, and they should still get that message. Is this even possible?

Code:

on ^*:open:?: {
  if ( %nomsgstatus == on ) {
    msg $nick Sorry, not accepting messages at the moment..
    halt
  }
}

Where should I put that? Instead of

Code:

on *:text:*:?: {
  if ( %nomsgstatus == on ) {
    msg $nick Sorry, not accepting messages at the moment..
  }
}

.. that?

Yes.

Great!

Thanks a lot tidy_trax!

Oh ehm, may I ask what the ^ in front of the * in..

Code:

on ^*:open:?:

.. does?

That's explained in the help file: /help halting default text

Alright, I seem to have a problem. When people pm me, they don't get the message (Sorry, not accepting messages at the moment..).

And I don't get their message either (this is the way it is supposed to be), so that's good.

However, I do get this in my active window:

Code:

[20:02:27] .:: [msg: Jotex] Sorry, not accepting messages at the moment..

So it does message them, but they don't seem to be recieving it. Any ideas?

Have you tried it with more than one person? Maybe they have you on their ignore list or have a script that's interfering.

Oh, thanks again. I tried it with a clean copy of mIRC, and it works perfectly well. Thanks again tidy_trax!
