ok so i have:

code:

---

function OnEvent_SigninReady(Email){
Contacts.GetContact("Persons@email.com");
if ( Status != 1 ){
var v = "Persons@email.com";
Messenger.OpenChat(v).SendMessage("/nudge");
}
}
function OnEvent_ContactSignin(Email){
       if (Email == "Persons@email.com"){
        Messenger.OpenChat(Email).SendMessage("/nudge");
}
}

---

i have yet to find out if i nudge anyone who logs in or if it was my mistake, and i also have to find out if the signing in one works
for the status, do i have to use just the number, or do i have to write the whole STATUS_OFFLINE (1) ?
and != is not equal to, like in c right?, and can i use if to check if two strings are equal (if i have to use the whole STATUS_OFFLINE (1) thing)?
