Name colour changer - why won't it work? by CrAzY_KeBaB on 09-18-2006 at 05:59 PM

I want to make a script that will toggle through the first 50 colours, so it changes your name, why won't this work:

code:
int run=0;
int x=1;
int y=0;
var myname;

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd,Origin,Message,MessageKind)
{
if (Message=="n#on")
{
run=1;
return "";
}
if (Message=="n#off")
{
run=0
return "";
}
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd,Origin, Message, MessageKind)
{
if (run==1)
{
if (x==50)
{
x=1;
y=0;
}
myname=Messenger.MyName;
myname=myname.replace(y,x);
Messenger.MyName=myname;
x++;
y++;
}
}

Thanks in advance.

JScript only accepts the var prefix for every type of variable declarations. So, this will be:

code:
var run=0;
var x=1;
var y=0;

I didn't took a look at your other code, but that should at least fix that.
Also, try this:

code:
function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart) {
Debug.DebuggingWindowVisible = true;
}

with the script debugger enabled (Plus! preferences > Scripts > Enable script debugging) to see what error you get on what line in your script.

OK, still doesn't work, and it can't get any errors, because the script doesn't run:

code:
var run=0;
var x=1;
var y=0;
var myname;

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart)
{
Debug.DebuggingWindowVisible = true;
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd,Origin,Message,MessageKind)
{
if (Message=="n#on")
{
run=1;
return "";
}
if (Message=="n#off")
{
run=0;
return "";
}
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd,Origin, Message, MessageKind)
{
if (run==1)
{
if (x==50)
{
x=1;
y=0;
}
myname=Messenger.MyName;
myname=myname.replace(y,x);
Messenger.MyName=myname;
x++;
y++;
}
}
