Thanks deAd
EDIT: Just added the coded and it sent 'hi' to my contact. Is there a way for it to only do it as a sign in?
Also whenever i go to plus preferences and click ok it sends 'hi' again any way of stoppin this?

Sure.

code:

---

function OnEvent_Signin(sUserEmail){
var sEmail = "email@address.com";
var oContact = Messenger.MyContacts.GetContact(sEmail);
if(oContact.Status != 1){
var ChatWnd = Messenger.OpenChat(sEmail);
ChatWnd.SendMessage("hi");
}
}

---

too many people replying at the same time....

Dead, even that code is not correct (or to put it in another way: shouldn't be used)...

corrected:

code:

---

var sEmail = "email@address.com";
var oContact = Messenger.MyContacts.GetContact(sEmail);
if (oContact.Status != 1) {
                    var ChatWnd = Messenger.OpenChat(sEmail);
                    if (ChatWnd.EditChangeAllowed) ChatWnd.SendMessage("hi");
}

@134jimbodude: I'd suggest to really take up the advise and get a book about basic programming as the questions you ask are extremely basic programming things though.

Also be advised that it is highly annoying for your contacts to recieve a message from you each time you log in (the same goes for those auto-greeting scripts which greet every person as soon as someone signs in).

Cookie, that is just a check, and is not required. The same result will be produced if you do not add that if statement. Plus will not send the message if it can't.

So to put more emails in would i just do:
[code]
function OnEvent_Signin(sUserEmail){
var sEmail = "email@address.com;email@adress2.com";
var oContact = Messenger.MyContacts.GetContact(sEmail);
if(oContact.Status != 1){
                    var ChatWnd = Messenger.OpenChat(sEmail);
                    ChatWnd.SendMessage("hi");
}
}

I feel like an idiot now. My code is nothing like what you actually wanted

That is not 'just' a check, it is actually very required as it is not always possible to send a message to a chat window (even if you just opened it).

don't be, he first asked how to send a message to all online contacts which you indeed provided.

no, absolutely not...

the variable sEmail is a string, it will be compared literally to the string which holds the email of the current contact object. Or in this specific code it will be passed to the GetContact function as the email to find.

"email@address.com;email@adress2.com" is not a valid email address and thus this will never work.

What you want is checking the email of the current contact object against a list or in other words against an array...

PS: make up your mind though, each time you request something different, which requires different code

No. You'd need an array of emails to loop through.

code:

---

function OnEvent_Signin(sUserEmail){
var sEmails = new Array("email@address.com","email2@address.com");
for(item in sEmails){
var oContact = Messenger.MyContacts.GetContact(sEmails[item]);
if(oContact.Status != 1){
var ChatWnd = Messenger.OpenChat(sEmails[item]);
ChatWnd.SendMessage("hi");
}
}
}

If you do not include this check, the message will not be sent. If you do include the check, the message won't be sent. Either way, the message will be sent only when it can be. I don't see the necessity of it it's not like it causes problems or something?

so everyone would this work:

code:

---

function OnEvent_Signin(sUserEmail){
var sEmails = new Array("bla@bla2.com","bla@bla3.com");
for(item in sEmails){
var oContact = Messenger.MyContacts.GetContact(sEmails[item]);
if(oContact.Status != 1){
var ChatWnd = Messenger.OpenChat(sEmails[item]);
ChatWnd.SendMessage("hi");
}
}
}

No, that requires a bit more thought, i'm working on it now.
