Please  refer to CookieRevised's reply to [Fix] Problem with OnEvent_ChatWndRecieveMessage's Origin as this give proper code.

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd,Origin,Message,MessageKind){//When a message is recieved in a chat window
     if(Origin !== Messenger.MyName){//If the sender's name is not my name
          //Do stuff here
     }
     //Do more here if you like
}

---

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd,Origin,Message,MessageKind){//When a message is recieved in a chat window
     var WSH = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
     try{
          var enabled = WSH.RegRead("HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\iAvatars.com\\StuffPlug\\"+Messenger.MyUserId+"\\ChatName");//check id a StuffPlug Registry for Chat Only names exists
          if(enabled === 1){//Check if Chat Only names are enabled
               try{
                    var nick = WSH.RegRead("HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\iAvatars.com\\StuffPlug\\"+Messenger.MyUserId+"\\szChatName");//Test for what the Chat Only name currently is
               }catch(e){//if there is no registry for the Chat Only name
                    var nick = Messenger.MyName;
               }
          }else{//if Chat Only names are _NOT_ enabled
               var nick = Messenger.MyName;
          }
     }catch(e){//if there is no registry for if Chat Only names (ie. StuffPlug is not installed)
          var nick = Messenger.MyName;
     }
     if(Origin !== nick){//If the sender's name is not my name
          //Do stuff here
     }
     //Do more here if you like
}

First of all, Messenger.MyUserId is not going to equal the origin unless someone has set their name to it (typo/mixup?).

Also, there's an easier method. If you're trying to just find which message is yours, you can do this:

code:

---

var bSent = false; // a global variable

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message){
bSent = true; // we've sent a message so set bSent to true
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
if(bSent){ // if bSent is true, meaning we just sent a message
bSent = false; // we caught our message so reset it
} else {
// a contact sent the message, so do whatever
}
}

---

- 'Origin' is not equal to a user id, it is the nickname
- You need to check on reg setting 'DisabledForxxxxxxxxxx' first
- Reg setting 'ChatName' is a DWORD not a string, thus it will be returned as a number, using ==='1' will always fail.
- You must take in account that 'szChatName' doesn't exist even if ChatName is enabed, in that case the name is 'StuffPlug User'
- Some comments are not prefixed with //
- Code can be optimized a lot


EDIT: I see dead posted first.... anyhow, dead's code can be optimized too...

@ deAd: Your code has a chance of not working properly.  There is a chance that a contact sends a message between these events being called and that will cause problems.

@ Cookie: Where is the registry 'DisabledForxxxxxxxxxx' I have found nothing with a search of the registry with a search for 'DisabledFor'.  Also I wouldn't mind seeing the code optimised either, that was just the easiest way I could think about doing it.

Because Messenger Plus! analyses messages received only when they reach the chat window, it is not possible to determine exactly from which contact the message came from. However, several methods can be used to guess if the message was actually sent by the current user. For example, to determine whether or not the personalized status messages should be sent when a message is received, Messenger Plus! compares the time of the last ChatWndSendMessage event with the current time. If it is less than 1 second, the message is considered to come from the current user and the previously recorded time is reset. Even if this method of analysis can seem too simplistic, it works in almost every scenario as it is extremely rare to receive a message sent by a contact between the time the "Send" button was pressed and the time the message of the current user was added to the window (as Messenger does not wait to receive a reply from the server before adding the message to the history control).

    var sStuffPlugPath = "HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\iAvatars.com\\StuffPlug\\";

        var bStuffPlugEnabled = true;
        var bStuffPlugEnabled = oWSH.RegRead(sStuffPlugPath + "DisabledFor" + Messenger.MyUserId) == 0;
    } catch( e){}
    try {

            if (oWSH.RegRead(sStuffPlugPath + Messenger.MyUserId + "\\ChatName") == 1) {

                var sMyChatName = oWSH.RegRead(sStuffPlugPath + Messenger.MyUserId + "\\szChatName");
            }
        }
    } catch( e){}

    if (Origin !== sMyChatName) {
        // a contact sent the message, so do whatever
    }
}

code:

---

var aSent = new Array();

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message) {
    aSent[ChatWnd.Handle] = Message;
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind) {
    if (aSent[ChatWnd.Handle] === Message) {
        delete aSent[ChatWnd.Handle];
    } else {
        // a contact sent the message, so do whatever
    }
}

not at all... it will fail in many occasions...

It does do what the documentation describes, except without a timer.

Cookie, I changed your code because I still could not find that registry on my computer and so I would imagine other people would have the same problem as I am having if this was used.

code:

---

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

    var sMyChatName = Messenger.MyName;
    var sStuffPlugPath = "HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\iAvatars.com\\StuffPlug\\";
    var oWSH = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
    try {
        try{
            var reg = oWSH.RegRead(sStuffPlugPath + "DisabledFor" + Messenger.MyUserId)
            throw "";
        }catch( e){
            if(reg !== undefined && reg !== 0){
                throw "";
            }
            if (oWSH.RegRead(sStuffPlugPath + Messenger.MyUserId + "\\ChatName") === 1) {
                var sMyChatName = "StuffPlug User";
                try {
                    var sMyChatName = oWSH.RegRead(sStuffPlugPath + Messenger.MyUserId + "\\szChatName");
                } catch( e){}
            }
        }
    } catch( e){}

    if (Origin !== sMyChatName) {
        // Do stuff here
    }
    // Do more here if you like
}

'DisabledFor' is only created when you disable/enable StuffPlug. Before that it indeed doesn't exist... This is fixed (in a shorter/elegant way) in my code.

PS: there is a reason why I used equality operators instead of identity operators though. Don't change that or the function will fail again in some (very rare) cases.

CookieRevised, what sort of instances would it fail?

RegRead can return other stuff than integers. It depends on the registry key type. So, if the user (for whatever reason) had manually changed the reg key type to a string (which is VERY common actually in scripts made by newbies), then the string "1" is not the same as the number 1 when you use identity operators (===).

When you use an equality operator (==) then the string "1" is the same as 1.

So, if somebody made a script which doesn't take in account that the registry key 'ChatName' is supposed to be of the REG_DWORD type (instead of a REG_SZ) when you change/write the value, then Markee's script will fail.

Ah ok. Makes sense.
Any idea if this is the same in C/C++/Java? Did first year of uni so far, and I know of the ===  and I knew it was more strict or something, but we never learnt them in Java or C/C++...
Maybe they were just trying not to confuse the newbie programmers there...

The === is the same in all languages to the best of my knowledge.  And I believe you still have to specify how the variable is stored in the registry, however you can make a fix with stuff like a function to do it for you and using typeOf method with a switch statement (but this can wait for another thread ).

Cookie,
that check you sent using message compare will fail with a simple "hi". Maybe you could use all three types sent in so far. Use deads boolean , the check user name and then compare the message. I guess that would make it very unlikely to fail.
Have fun!

You should, but you don't need to. And that is exactly what many new scripters forget to do.

What if you check contact name? Will the on recieve msg show their chat only name or the same name from the main messenger window?

I expect this wont work since no one else has said it yet.

Nevermind..
