Matching Text - mIRC Discussion Forums

I have a question about matching the text up.

I have: on 1:TEXT:test:#channelname:/say Test.

It does not work though when I say it. Assuming that it was because I was trying my own script, I had another chatter say it. It still didn't work.

I'm following the FAQ on the mIRC page and the built-in mIRC Help with the program itself, but it says to do exactly what I'm doing. Help please?

That should work fine. Note that if you have another text event defined above this one in the same script (and the text matches that one as well), this one will not be reached.

According to the script, there is not another one that matches the same word. It's still not working, so I had a question. Does someone else need to say it? Any possible mistakes to keep it from happening? There's not an error message.

Yes, on text event can be triggered only by someone else, and make sure the user isn't using colors or similar.

if you have another ON TEXT event anywhere in the script file, regardless of what it's looking for, only the first one will work. By your response, it SOUNDS like you have a 2nd ON TEXT event looking at different match. If that's true, you'd have to combine them into ONE event:

Code:

on *:text:*:#: {
  if ((chan1 == #channel) && (text-to-match1 == text1) { stuff1 }
  if ((chan2 == #channe2) && (text-to-match2 == text2) { stuff2 }
}

That's ludicrous. The following works perfectly.

Code:

on *:text:text1:#:stuff1
on *:text:text2:#:stuff2

Only the first matching event will trigger, but you can have as many different events in the file as you want as long as they either don't overlap or the overlapping is desired.

I stand corrected twice for the same thing. yeah, I certainly miscommunicated there. Thanks for the cleanup

Thanks guys, I figured it out.
