Help with script... by GrimReapa on 06-25-2006 at 10:11 AM

I'm trying to make a simple script (for my first time) that will show how many times I have recieved a message with "Nick" in it... but at the moment I only know how to get it to check if the whole message is Nick...
How would i change it so that if any part of the message contained "Nick" then it would update the count?

Current Code:

code:
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Sender, ChatMsg, ChatType)
{
    if (ChatMsg == "Nick") {
    Nick = Nick + 1;
    Debug.Trace("Added one to count.");
    ChatWnd.SendMessage("The Nick Count is now at: " + Nick);
    }
    if (ChatMsg == "nick") {
    Nick = Nick + 1;
    Debug.Trace("Added one to count.");
    ChatWnd.SendMessage("The Nick Count is now at: " + Nick);
    }
}

Why the two if statements? Try elseif for the second :P

Edit: Where have you defined your Nick varible?
Edit 2: Woops I am talking some bull. *wakes up*

code:
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Sender, ChatMsg, ChatType)
{
if (ChatMsg.toLowerCase().indexOf("nick") > -1) {
Nick = Nick + 1;
Debug.Trace("Added one to count.");
ChatWnd.SendMessage("The Nick Count is now at: " + Nick);
}
}


And that checks for any case as well.

BTW, if you just store it as a variable then the "nick count" will be lost whenver the plugin is stopped, I recommend saving to a file or the registry on uninitialize then loading on initialize. ;)

Thanks for your help! works great, just had to take "Nick" out of the message, because it kept repeating :P

code:
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Sender, ChatMsg, ChatType)
{
   if(ChatMsg.search(/nick/i) > -1){
        Nick = Nick + 1;
        Debug.Trace("Added one to count.");
        ChatWnd.SendMessage("The Nick Count is now at: " + Nick);
    }
}

The shown source code is part of a script, it is most likely not the complete script.

Also, if you look carefully you see that this function is actually an event:
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(...).

An event is triggered and executed automatically when certain things take place. In this case the event will trigger whenever a message is recieved and thus the function gets executed.

To know how scripts work read the official script documentation.
