right I've got this to work but I'm looking to extend its  usability, is there anyway to get the script to recognise custom statuses?

I have a dedicated picture for me in the bath and normally change it manually wen i change my status, if it was possible I'd like to be able to just change to my custom (In Bath) status and the picture change

the current script only detects the default statuses and my attempt at getting it to recognise a string variable failed

I think I read that too fast

Well maybe you could see if the status was away or busy, and then also parse the name for the status you require? The status are like this... "{In Bath}"

Great stuff retrojaffa, looks like you are on the right track.  Good to see everyone helping out!       

If someone makes this with a gui, then it could very well be easily edited. All you'd need is the location for each status, then the script grabs the location, adds a / at the front, and another / everything a / is detected, and you can easily use this. Sorry if I sound complicated Just a suggestion.

I'd re-make it with a gui, but I havne't quite handled gui's yet

yeah the gui was something I was pondering about, but I've not attempted making scripts before. only along the lines of vb and actionscript so its pretty much trial and error on my behalf

My current code that works is below, thats minus the custom statuses

function OnEvent_MyStatusChange(Stat) {
      if(Stat == 2) {
             //Appear Offline -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\StatusDP\DP\offline.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 3) {
             //Online -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Scripts\StatusDP\DP\online.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 4) {
             //Busy -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\\Messenger Plus! Live\\Scripts\\StatusDP\\DP\\busy.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 5) {
             //Be Right Back -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\\Messenger Plus! Live\\Scripts\\StatusDP\\DP\\brb.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 6) {
             //Idle -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\\Messenger Plus! Live\\Scripts\\StatusDP\\DP\\idle.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 7) {
             //Away -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\\Messenger Plus! Live\\Scripts\\StatusDP\\DP\\away.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 8) {
             //In a Call -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\\Messenger Plus! Live\\Scripts\\StatusDP\\DP\\onphone.jpg";
      } else if(Stat == 9) {
             //Out to Lunch -
             Messenger.MyDisplayPicture = "C:\\Program Files\\Messenger Plus! Live\\Scripts\\StatusDP\\DP\\lunch.jpg";
      }
}
