Would it be possible to make a script that could send someone a warning message if they were toast spamming u (repeatedly changing status), and then block them if they continued.  I think it would be useful because of the scripts out there that are designed to annoy people by spamming them, and it would be nice to have a defence against them.  I'm sure it must be possible, but i can't write script, so can someone else have a go?

Thanks,
Dave

PS: I cant find a script that does it, but if there is one, please post a link to it.

I was thinking of making a script that would nudge spam someone who toast spammed me. I think it'd be a treat.

If I remember rightly it's Hopper that does this isn't it, maybe it would be better if there was a feature that was in that limited it. Mnjul?

I made a script that kinda does this, wasn't going to release it, but if you like I can post it here so you can use it.

This doesn't warn/block or anything, it simply takes over the toast function from msn. When someone goes offline, it remembers the e-mailadress for 10 seconds, if they come online within these 10 seconds no toast is shown.

Also msgplus! toasts don't have that flashy gradient or display picture. Let me know.

Does it do the same if the switch between busy and online as well/can it be edited to do this?

right... thanks very much, i'll give it a go

edit: does this code go instead of the OnEvent initialise stuff that's already in the script when you make a new one on MP!L or doesn it go between the OnEvent initialise and OnEvent unitialise?

When you create a new one, delete everything inside and put this in it.

right, thanks

Just a small question since i'm trying to get the toast part in my own script, but can't quite get it to work.

code:

---

var a = new Array();

function OnEvent_Timer(TimerId)
{
  for(i in a)
  {
    if (TimerId == a[i])
    {
      a[i] = undefined;
      break;
    }
  }
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind)
{

    //Help text
    if( Message.match(/^!help$/i) && Origin != Messenger.MyName )
    {
        ChatWnd.SendMessage('!help = Show this text.')
        ChatWnd.SendMessage('!song = Show the song im listening to. (for my Winamp only)')
        ChatWnd.SendMessage('!sendsong = Send you the song im listening to.')
        ChatWnd.SendMessage('!roll = Rolls between 1 and 100. I know your a WoW bitch. (-.-)')
        ChatWnd.SendMessage('!wakeup = Shows a small message on my screen, handy when im unable to see or ignorre the chat.')
    }

    //Song name
    if( Message.match(/^!song$/i) && Origin != Messenger.MyName )
    {
        ChatWnd.SendMessage('/np')
    }
   
    //Send Song
    if( Message.match(/^!sendsong$/i) && Origin != Messenger.MyName )
    {
        ChatWnd.SendMessage('/sendsong')
    }
    if( Message.match(/^!songsend$/i) && Origin != Messenger.MyName )
    {
        ChatWnd.SendMessage('/sendsong')
    }
   
    //Roll(1-100)
    if( Message.match(/^!roll$/i) && Origin != Messenger.MyName )
    {
        ChatWnd.SendMessage('/roll')
    }
   
    //Wakeup
    if( Message.match(/^!wakeup$/i) && Origin != Messenger.MyName )
    {
        //ChatWnd.SendMessage('Yeye, im waking up and will answer if I saw it. Do not spam, if I am here I will reply. ty')
        //MsgPlus.DisplayToast('!wakeup','Some bitch is nugging you..');
       
        var popup = true;
        if (Email == a[i]) {
        popup = false;
        }
       
        if(popup){
        var Contact = Messenger.MyContacts.GetContact(Email);
        MsgPlus.DisplayToastContact("Toast", Contact.Name, "Has Toasted you!","","onSignInToast_Click", Email);
        var eind = a.length + 1;
        for(i=0; i < eind; i++) { //> if toast should get blocked or not
            if(a[i] == 'undefined') {
            a[i] = Email;
            break;
            }
        }
        MsgPlus.AddTimer(Email, 10000);
        }
       
    }
}
