Is it possible to create a script that will change my display name right before a select contact signs out? So next time they sign in, and I am offline, they will see the "new" name instead of the last one they saw?

*For example, I am talking to bob with display name "Keikonium". Bob says he has to go, so I say "alrighty, bye". Then a split second before he signs out, my name changes to "Keikonium - I don't like you very much bob" or something like that .

I think the only problem with this would be the fact that a script may not beable to change this before the person signs out, rendering this sort of impossible >_>.

Which brings me to my next idea. Changing my name when I sign out. And then upon signing back in (with any status except Appear Offline) it changes my name back to what it used to be.

*For example, I have my name set to "Keikonium". I click sign out, and my name automatically changes to "Keikonium - I'll be right back". Then when I sign back in, my name is set back to "Keikonium".

Make sense? I hope so . Now are either of these possible

They might be possible? but useless... cause if your offline, and your contact comes online, he can't see what you changed it to until you come back online anyway? which you covered...... but you completely came back to it here -->

which is completely pointless yet

What I mean is, my name changes quickly BEFORE they sign out. But because they are leaving, they don't catch the name change, but their messenger does.

As for the second one, on second thought, I could just do this manually lol.

But the first one would be nice .

(1) You can't detect when they're about to sign out, only when they have signed out.
(2) Not completely pointless actually, but no. When the Signout event is called, it is too late to change anything.

Alrighty, I thought it would be worth a shot to ask . That sucks that it can't be done .

Thanks for the speedy replies guys ^__^!

Well its not possible to make the script change the name as you sign out automatically, but it is possible to create a script that changes your name THEN signs out.
