I wrote this rather pointless script (just practicing) and it works, but there's something I wanted to ask if you could change.

Here's the Script:
function OnEvent_ChatWndCreated(ChatWnd)
{
    var Message = "Your current status is " + Messenger.MyStatus + "!";
    Message = MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Message);
    MsgPlus.DisplayToast("", Message)
}

I was wondering if you could make it say in the message your actual status (i.e. "busy" | "online" | "away" | etc) instead of using the numbers associated with each status.

EDIT: I'm also failing to write a script that changes my status to busy every time I send a message if I'm not already set as busy.  So far I came up with this...:
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
    if(MyStatus == (7))
    {
    var Message = "/busy";
    Message = MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Message);
    Messenger.ChatWnd.SendMessage
    }
}
^ guessed a lot

Thanks

javascript code:

{
    var Message = "Your current status is " + Messenger.MyStatus + "!";
    var number = new Array("2","3","4","5"....);
    var status = new Array("Appear Offline","Online","Busy","Be Right Back"....);
    for(var i = 0; i<number.length; i++){
        Message = Message.replace(number[i],status[i]);
    }
    Message = MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Message);
    MsgPlus.DisplayToast("", Message)
}

Thanks for that, btw is there a place where I can learn about "arrays", etc?

// The fixed event handler for chat window created
function OnEvent_ChatWndCreated( ChatWnd )

    var status = oStatusNames[ Messenger.MyStatus ];
    // Make a nice message
    var message = "Your current status is " + status + "!";
    // Display a toast
    MsgPlus.DisplayToast( "Your current status", message );
}

js code:

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage( ChatWnd, Message )
{
    // See if I'm not busy yet
    if( Messenger.MyStatus !== 4 ) {
        // Set to busy
        Messenger.MyStatus = 4;

    // Return the unmodified message

    return Message;
}

Much better solution Matti, thanks

Ah thanks guys. Lots to learn... gonna be interesting.

Hmm... I was just thinking... if both ways work why is Matti's way better?

Because it does not use a very slow, and completely unneeded, loop. Nor does it need two arrays being stored in memory.

Image what would happen if there are 10000 elements you need to index. Your script would run so slow you would think it has been froozen/crashed.

stoshrocket's script did this:

code:

---

1) Make a list of names:
    number 1 is BlahBlah
    number 2 is BooBoo
    number 3 is HeyHey

2) Make a list of numbers/indexes
    number 1 is 1
    number 2 is 2
    number 3 is 3

3) Change the list of numbers into a list of names
    Check if the index is still within the bounds of the number list
    if so, lookup name 1 and store it in memory
    Replace index 1 with the value stored in memory
    increase the index by one
    Check if the index is still within the bounds of the number list
    if so, lookup name 2 and store it in memory
    Replace index 2 with the value stored in memory
    increase the index by one
    Check if the index is still within the bounds of the number list
    if so, lookup name 3 and store it in memory
    Replace index 3 with the value stored in memory
    increase the index by one
    Check if the index is still within the bounds of the number list
    if so, ...., if not end the loop

4) Look up the current status

5) Get the correct name in the list of numbers.

---

code:

---

1) Make a list of status names, indexed and sorted by their literal numeric value: blahblah, BooBoo, HeyHey
2) Look up the current status
3) Get the correct status name in the list of statusses

---

I came across another problem with the script:

js code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage( ChatWnd, Message )
{
    // See if I'm not busy yet
    if( Messenger.MyStatus !== 4 ) {
        // Set to busy
        Messenger.MyStatus = 4;
    }
    // Return the unmodified message
    // Never forget to return something for ChatWndSendMessage!
    return Message;
}

---

js code:

---

{
if(Message == "<insert my auto-message>"
Messenger.MyStatus = 7;
}

When my auto-message responds it changes my status to busy. How do I fix that?

EDIT: Spent some time on it and I'm thinking I should use something like

js code:

---

{
if(Message == "<insert my auto-message>"
Messenger.MyStatus = 7;
}

---

But it doesn't work.

javascript code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage( ChatWnd, Message )
{
    //search message for "AutoMessage :"
    var automsg = Message.search("AutoMessage :");
    if(automsg == -1){
        // See if I'm not busy yet
        if( Messenger.MyStatus !== 4 ) {
            // Set to busy
            Messenger.MyStatus = 4;
        }
    }
    // Return the unmodified message
    // Never forget to return something for ChatWndSendMessage!
    return Message;
}

I prefer to use the enumeration for status

Mmm... so is stoshrocket's solution to my auto-message problem the best way?

And if so what's the line:

javascript code:

---

if(automsg == -1)

---

do?

---

shorter and slithly faster:

js code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage( ChatWnd, Message )
{
    // Check if it is not an automessage and if we're not busy yet
    if (!/^AutoMessage :/.test(Message) && Messenger.MyStatus !== 4 ) {
        // Set to busy
        Messenger.MyStatus = 4;
    }
    // Return the unmodified message
    // Never forget to return something for ChatWndSendMessage!
    return Message;
}

---

there is no space before the colon - only after.

it should be searching for "AutoMessage: "


your full script:

JScript code:

---

var szStatus = {
    2 : "appear offline",
    3 : "online",
    4 : "busy",
    7 : "away",
    6 : "idle",
   
    // maybe it can happen
    0 : "unknown",
   
    // WLM 8.5
    5 : "brb",
    8 : "in a call",
    9 : "out to lunch"
    };

function OnEvent_ChatWndCreated(ChatWnd){
    MsgPlus.DisplayToast("", "Your Messenger Status: " + szStatus[Messenger.MyStatus]);
    }

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message){
    if(Messenger.MyStatus !== STATUS_BUSY && !/^AutoMessage: /.test(Message))
        Messenger.MyStatus = STATUS_BUSY;
    }

perhaps i should start looking at names rather than "OFFICIAL TESTER"

Thanks guys, it works great.

// this will work though, the square brackets can take both constant or variable values
