/msg user - mIRC Discussion Forums

hey all,

I am very new to this. I wanted a little script that messages a user when they logon to a irc server...

XXX joins server XXX.blah.org

then they receive a msg in there private box...

Hey there!

Any help would be great.

I guess you only can do that if you have oper status on that network/server.. corect me if im wrong..

its more like a noticifcation, as when someone in your notify list logs in,
there is a msg thats displayed

when that happens then i would like to be able to send them a msg.

is that possible

ahh..

Code:

on *:NOTIFY:{ 
echo -a $nick signed in at $time
.msg $nick Hi how are you today?
}
on *:UNOTIFY:{
echo -a $nick left irc at $time
}

that goes in to your remote.. ALT + R in mirc..

EDIT -------------------

You wont see the message you send to the user, remove the "." infront of .msg and u will see it..

Thats perfect!!

Now.. is it possible, for it to be more user specific... ie

Matt - Hey there
Mark - Good Day
Luke - How ya doing
John - Long time no see

cheerz

In simplest form:

Code:

on *:NOTIFY:{ 
  if ($nick == Matt) { .msg $nick Hey there }
  else if ($nick == Mark) { .msg $nick Good Day }
  else if ($nick == Luke) { .msg $nick How ya doing }
  else if ($nick == John) { .msg $nick Long time no see }
}

I'd suggest however that you make use of userlevels.
Have a look at /help access levels as well as /help $level.

does it mather?

i cant see any harm in that the wrong person may get the msg? no password or any other info is sent true the text.. the worst that chan happen is that he maybe have to write: "Sorry i belived it was my friend"

It doesn't necessarily matter. It's a cross between what type of information is being send and personal preference. Personally, I'd feel safer knowing the information is going to the exact person I intended it for.

i have to test it.. and since the on *:NICK: was there i used it..

thnx for your help

have a nice night/day #depending on ur timezone", here its soon morning, so time for bed

Cheers for all the help

as an example of one that I used for a DCC allow on DALnet

Code:

on *:notify:{
  if ($network == DALnet) {
    var %address $mask($wildsite,3)
    if ($nick == Mathew) &amp;&amp; (%address == *!*@*.host.net) { notice Mathew Welcome Home Mathew }
  }
}

$wildsite doesnt have the user in the address, but as a test of the nick being the person you intended I think this is workable.
