Shoutbox

I cant touch type so if someone sends me a msg while I am sending one to them I somethimes don't see it until I have sent my msg.

I am trying to create a script to play a sound whenever another person in the coversation sends a message

The code is:

var name; // used to store the name of the user

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart)
{

    Debug.Trace("Script Started");

}


function OnEvent_SigninReady(Email) // this should assign the name to the variable
{
    name = Messenger.MyName;
    name = MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(name);
    MsgPlus.DisplayToast("",name) // i used this to confirm that this stage was working. It is
}



function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd,Origin,Message,MessageKind) // this should play the sound
{                                                                  //if origin is not the same as name

MsgPlus.DisplayToast("",name) // this is used to check that the name is still stored. It is just blank.

Origin = MsgPlus.RemoveFormatCodes(Origin);

    if (Origin != name)
    {
    MsgPlus.PlaySound("i likse the way you moo.mp3",1500) //this sound will be replaced with "type" when i have converted it to mp3
    }
}


function OnEvent_Uninitialize(MessengerExit)
{

    Debug.Trace("Script Ended");

}

The problem is that "name" seems to loose its value when the SigninReady function ends, which it shouldn't do because i've declared it as a global variable.

I'm pretty new to jscript and mpl scripting so any help is appreciated.
