I am looking for a script that, when you change your status to "be right back", will notify all open chats with a "brb" message.

instead of doing that you could just type "/all brb" without the quote marks and this will send brb to all chats

You could always use the 'Messenger Lock' function, set it up to change your status to BRB, and also you could set it up to send "BRB" to all your open conversations, optionally even set it up to sat "Back" when you unlock it.

*Shrugs*

Create a quicktext.

Go to the quicktexts section of MP!L, 'Create a standalone message or message group'.
Then in the 'Fast send shortcut' section, enter /b (or whatever command you like).
In the Message(s) bit, enter:

code:

---

/all brb
/brb

---

Change the 'line breaks' radio button to the one that reads 'create multiple messages'

The result of all of this means that when you type /b in a conversation and press enter, 'brb' will be sent to all open conversations, and your status will automatically change to be right back.

I have one that I use.

On sending /brb (setting status to brb)
It sends the message: Be back in a bit.

Tell me what you would like it to say and I will change it and upload it for you.

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message){
if(Message == "/brb"){
ChatWnd.SendMessage("/all Be back in a bit.");
}
}

That's what I use. Have fun =]

Just, about 10 mins ago, changed the script so I thought I'd post it

code:

---

//Script created by Aden Beckitt
//Don't steal stuff kids

function OnGetScriptCommands ()
{
    commands  = "<ScriptCommands>";
    commands +=     "<Command>";
    commands +=         "<Name>back</Name>";
    commands +=         "<Description>Tells all open conversations that you are back.</Description>";
    commands +=     "</Command>";
    commands += "</ScriptCommands>";
    return commands;
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message){
if(Message == "/brb"){
ChatWnd.SendMessage("/all Be back in a bit.");
}
switch (Message){
        case "/back":
        return "/all I'm back. ";
}
if(Message == "I'm back. "){
ChatWnd.SendMessage("/online");
}
}

skyserpent, nice but there is really no need for any script for this. At least not if you're going to react on something the user must type. As, Haydos explained, simply create a quicktext, way more sufficient.

PS: and if you use sendmessage in a script your should ALWAYS check if you actually can send a message first, see scripting documentation.

----------

A much better script would be do detect a status change instead of detecting something the user has typed. Because it is not always possible for the user to type something in a chat window to begin with. And in that way the user can simply change his status to Be Right Back in whatever way he wants.

Meh =P I use /brb when I change to Be Right Back so it works good for me Just thought i'd share. Thanks anyway

How do you go about detecting status changes then?
