Network in a prefix or the event. - mIRC Discussion Forums

I'm sure this has been brought up in the past but I haven't seen it.

It would be nice to be able to have a network halt in a prefix.

Code:

Instead of:
on !@*:join:#:{
if ($network != NETWORK) return
}

Code:

Something like:
on network.name:!@*:join:#:{ }

Means the event will only trigger if network.name matches $network or $server if that seems better/safer.

Thank you.

To do this would require an update to the parser itself, considering the event markup itself....

I think it's safer to have it as an IF comparison myself. I think changing the way the scripting engine goes could lead to a floodgate of requests to change it around. That's just my $.02 USD

Not to mention, How would you account for user levels with it as such?

something like this?

Code:

on userlevel:network:TEXT:matchtext:target: { }

??

Now image exactly how MANY scripts that would break. ALL OF THEM that depend on an on text event.....

His example shows where the user level is.
Actually, the undocumented me prefix use the syntax he wants:

Quote:

on me:*:text:matchtext:location:

so it's not a parser problem, that me could be a network value, the problem is that the network value is not reliable, it could easily return 'me' or even $null
I agree with landonsandor anyway, it would be too ugly

you know I completely forgot about the ME level as I rarely use mirc anymore, tho I used to be one of the biggest supporters of that level

Well thats why I said $network or $server, whichever is better. I figured Khaled's team could determine that. It's up to the scripter to make sure the value matches what they want it to. All mIRC would do is return the $network or $server value.
