Not to be triggered on !dp command i changed the following line in

ChangeDp Plugin

downloaded from http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/253-ChangeDp!/

if (Message.substr(0,3)=="!dp"&&Origin!=Messenger.MyName)

to


if (Message==Origin!=Messenger.MyName)

now dp changes on every message... but it also changes on messages that i send by my self

i want to to change only over messages i receive...

please tell me how to do that...

It seems like you're not very familiar with scripting, and changing a script without knowing what to do isn't a good idea. I'd like to explain what you did wrong, but I don't know if you'd understand.

Despite of that, I think you can fix this by replacing that specific line with:

code:

---

if(Origin!=Messenger.MyName)

---

Not sure I'd agree there Mattike.  I'd say the main bonus to scripting is that you can change it, without entirely knowing what you're doing.  At least to some extent.
I started out not having a clue and dissecting other peoples scripts to do what I needed, and now I'm reasonably confident, at least with the standard MsgPlus! functions (I still need help too often for more advanced things),  but I'd say it's definitely the best way to start.

thahim: I'd say if you are editing a script, and changing ifs, the best thing would be just to look for seperators.  If you're removing the "&&", it just makes sense to remove everything before it as well, or else you get a nonsense clause.  Just thing of it as a sentence, and if it doesn't make sense to you, it doesnt make sense to  the machine.

- Just thought a little more about it - why do you want to remove the "!dp" identifier?  Is this being used with more of a script, such as to randomy change your DP everytime you get a message, or is it just to stop people having to type "!dp".  If it's the latter then I think you'll just end up with issues.  If someone sends a message of "Hey man, how are you today", theres not going to be an image and your DP wont be changed properly anyway?

True enough, I don't doubt that his examples were just that, although theres always the possibility of people getting ideas from that.  Granted, I was maybe a bit quick to jump to conclusions.
Although I'm sure waynewilson knows exactly what the if statements do  - doesn't really help our thread starter though.
