Hi guys..
i scripted a tool that sets my status to IDLE (NOT away) but it doesn't work. It just does nothing. Here it is:

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart)
{
}

function OnGetScriptMenu(Location)
{
    var ScriptMenu = "<ScriptMenu>";
       ScriptMenu    +=  "<MenuEntry Id=\"StatusIdle\">";
       ScriptMenu    +=    "Set Status Idle";
       ScriptMenu    +=  "</MenuEntry>";
    ScriptMenu    += "</ScriptMenu>";
    return ScriptMenu;
}

function OnEvent_MenuClicked(MenuItemId,Location,OriginWnd)
{
    switch(MenuItemId) {
        case "StatusIdle": 
            SetStatusIdle();
        break;
    }
}

function SetStatusIdle()
{
    Messenger.MyStatus = "6";    //6 = Idle
}

function OnEvent_Uninitialize(MessengerExit)
{
}

---

I scripted this because my Live Messenger doesn't set my status to Idle after x minutes (although  this function is activated)..
Thanks for your help..

Hi bleezer !

I'm not sure of that, but I think that you can't set your status on "Idle" with Messenger.MyStatus... I've tried your script with other status, and  it goes...

Example :

code:

---

Messenger.MyStatus = "6";

function OnEvent_MyStatusChange(NewStatus) {
    if (NewStatus==6) {
        MsgPlus.DisplayToast("Status","IDLE");
    }
}

---

With this code, there is no notification.

code:

---

Messenger.MyStatus = "5";

function OnEvent_MyStatusChange(NewStatus) {
    if (NewStatus==5) {
        MsgPlus.DisplayToast("Status","BE RIGHT BACK");
    }
}

---

With this one, there is the notification.

Cookie does a good job of explaining what would need to be done to do this.

Hello!

I think who requests the script like this, they want the script is : Idle anytime.

Silentdragon's link is only idle on signin. But not anytime.

My English is poor, Sorry. Because I am Chinese.

If it doesn't set your status to idle after x minutes you either:
1) did not activated it properly in the Messenger preferences
2) moved your mouse or pressed your keyboard. Thus you aren't in idle mode anymore and thus MEssenger will set your status to online again.

The link posted is exactly about the same issue: setting your status on demand to idle.

1) the mystatus property expects a number, not a string.
2) even if you set it to 6 (the number), you wont recieve a notification because you can not set the messenger status to idle like that. You can retrieve the current status if it is idle, but you can not set it to idle.

Please see the link Silentdragon posted:

1) I also thought that before test it in a script. Try, you will see !

code:

---

Messenger.MyStatus = "3";

---

2) That's what I already said...

The reason why Messenger.MyStatus = "3" works (but why it is not correct to do so) is because JScript automatically converts the string to a number. Mystatus needs a number, not a string.

Maybe I have to correct my words

I think who requests the script like this, they want the script is : Idle anytime when they wanted.

The link is only idle when they signin.
After they set to online, they cannot set it back to idle again.
SignIn again that works. But the contacts maybe know that you are telling lies.

Which is exactly what has been explained in that thread which is linked to (it is not about changing to idle only when you sign in) and which is exactly the same as requested in this thread.

Maybe I don't know how to use the script. Can you help me?
Because I can only idle when I signin
