I am looking to use SendMessage if someone messages me when I am Busy or Away, but I don't know how to create an object of ChatWnd. Could someone please explain what it means (and how to) to create an object of ChatWnd.


I know that creating an object of global things involves something like Messenger.MyName, but I dunno what to do with ChatWnd, and it's driving me crazy. Thanks!

Have a look at this thread for some useful information. Script Always Stopped

That's great! THANKS A LOT!

No problem, glad it cleared up the confusion for you

There is one more thing I forgot:

If I were to have a code like this: (outline, not actual code)
if (I am busy){
if(I receive a message){
SendMessage("I'm doing ______");
}
}

That's not the syntax, just the point. But how would I do that since SendMessage requires a ChatWnd object... >.> Maybe I just missed it in that thread; I'll read again, but help is still appreciated.


Edit: I do think I missed it, since this was the question I asked before, I just forgot that I asked it.

The function OnEvent_ChatWndMessageReceive has a parameter called pChatWnd. This is the Chat Window where the event happened. Therefore you could do something like this:

js code:

---

var oChatWnds = {}; // variable to hold the chat window handles and the messages we send to make sure we are not sending the message causing infinite loops

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage ( pChatWnd , sMessage )
{
    oChatWnds [ pChatWnd.Handle ] = sMessage; // add the message to the object
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage ( pChatWnd , sOrigin , sMessage , nMessageKind )
{
    if ( oChatWnds [ pChatWnd.Handle ] === sMessage ) return sMessage; // Since we just send this message we can ignore it
   
    if ( Messenger.MyStatus === STATUS_BUSY ) // check if your status is busy
    {
        pChatWnd.SendMessage ( 'I currently am busy and cannot reply. Thank you for your paitence.' ); // if it is busy then send a message
    }
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndDestroyed ( pChatWnd )
{
    delete oChatWnds [ pChatWnd.Handle ]; // delete the message from our storage object
}

Has anyone referred to you as a deity?

^_^ THANKS! It worked...I wouldn't be able to accomplish that with my knowledge of JS.

No problem it is what we are here for. There have been a lot of discussion surrounding the best way to programmatically tell who sent what message through Plus! Scripting. The sad thing is is that Plus! has no way of knowing the email of the contact; only their name. With that said this is the easiest way of knowing if you sent the message. If the messages do not match well than you know you didn't send it.

Well, thanks. I've used this code so much already....XD
