Hello everybody,

I'd like to make a script that would make every message i send gradient, and i need some help.
Anyone has ideas?

In the conversation window click the Format panel icon then click the lil "T" in the top right coner of the format panel and select gradient, then select two colours you like and type your text and it will be sent in a gradient!

Hope this helps!

That's exactly what i meant ValSpy. I know i have to make a script with OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage, but i don't what to do next. Can someone help me?

You got to surround the sent message (Message variable) with the approriate gradient color tags ([c=#color1]Message[/c=#color2]) and return this value (so it is sent instead of the initial Message)

Then i must do
Function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, ChatMsg)
{
ChatMsg = "[c=58]" + ChatMSg + "[/c=47]";
ChatWnd.SenMessage (ChatMsg);
}

Is This correct?

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
   var MsgOutput = null;
   MsgOutput= "[c=58]" + Message + "[/c=47]";

   return MsgOutput;
}

Thanks a lot!

No problem You're welcome

Another question : I want to have different effects based on the contact i send messages to. I made a function to replace the message to avoid being redundant

here's the code i use :
var MsgOutput = null;
var Color1 = null;
var Color2 = null;
function Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput)
{
    MsgOutput = "[c=" + Color1 + "]" + Message + "[/c=" + Color2 + "]";
}
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
    if (Contact.Email == xxxxx@xxxxxxx) {
        Color1 = "#010176";
        Color2 = "#2D0352";
        Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput);
    }
    return MsgOutput;
}

But i can't start the script, i get an error. Has anybody ideas why?

code:

---

var MsgOutput = null;
var Color1 = null;
var Color2 = null;

function Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput)
{
  MsgOutput = "[c=" + Color1 + "]" + Message + "[/c=" + Color2 + "]";
}
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
  var Contacts = ChatWnd.Contacts; 
  var e = new Enumerator(Contacts);
 
  for(; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
  {
    var Contact = e.item();
    if (Contact.Email == xxx@yyy.zzz)
    {
      Color1 = "#010176";
      Color2 = "#2D0352";
      Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput);
     
      return MsgOutput;
    }
  } 
  return Message;
}

Well, as i'm seeing it, if it finds the Contact il will send both the unaltered and the altered message, because os the return Message at the end of the function.

Edit : and i as was seeing it, i didn't want to use it in a chat with 2 or 3 contacts.

The correct behavior for a function is to stop after returning IIRC, but if this happends use this:

code:

---

var MsgOutput = null;
var Color1 = null;
var Color2 = null;
var sendUnaltered = true;

function Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput)
{
  return "[c=" + Color1 + "]" + Message + "[/c=" + Color2 + "]";
}
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
  var Contacts = ChatWnd.Contacts; 
  var e = new Enumerator(Contacts);
 
  for(; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
  {
    var Contact = e.item();
    if (Contact.Email == nemo_569@hotmail.com)
    {
      Color1 = "#010176";
      Color2 = "#2D0352";
     
      return Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput);
      sendUnaltered = false;
    }
  }
  if(sendUnaltered)
  {
    return Message;
  }
}

Here's a snippet from a script I wrote to randomize the gradient upon sending.  Note that, depending on your background picture, this can be difficult to see.

//Global variable
var c_max = 99;

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
    var c1 = Math.floor(Math.random() * c_max);
    var c2 = Math.floor(Math.random() * c_max);
    return('[c=' + c1 + ']' + Message + '[/c=' + c2 + ']');
}

I want a counter by the messages.
Example:

My name is robin (1233)
Is that possible?

Well this isn't what i want to do timbothegreat. I just want to have specific gradient for each contact who wants to see it. And I also don't want to use it in chat with multiple contacts. I was thinking about something like this:

code:

---

var Color1 = null;
var Color2 = null;
var MsgOutput = null;

function Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput)
{
     MsgOuput = "[c=" + Color1 + "]" + Message + "[/c=" + Color2 + "]";
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(Chatwnd, Message)
{
     var Contactnum = Enumerator(ChatWnd.Contacts);
     if (Contactnum < 3)
     {
          MsgOutput = Message
          if (Contact.Email == xxx@yyy.zzz)
          {
                Color1 = "#000000";
                Color2 = "#FFFFFF";
                Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput) ;
          }
     }

     return MsgOutput;
}

---

be sure to add this in your script else commands like /me won't work.

code:

---

if (Message.charAt(0) == '/')
        return(Message);

thanks, but i get an error with the line var Contactnum = Enumerate(ChatWnd.Contacts), anyone sees why?

Yes, but i need to have properties about contatcs, so it is good the way it put it. But i have some problem with this code :

code:

---

var Color1 = null;
var Color2 = null;
var MsgOutput = null;

function Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput)
{
    if (Message.charAt(0) == '/')
    {
        return Message;
    }
    Debug.Trace("Vérification du premier caractère du message terminée");
    MsgOuput = "[c=" + Color1 + "]" + Message + "[/c=" + Color2 + "]";
    Debug.Trace("Remplacement du message éffectué");
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
    var Contact = ChatWnd.Contacts;
    var Num = new Enumerator(Contact);
    Debug.Trace("Enumération des Contacts Terminée");
    MsgOutput = Message;
    if (Num < 2)
    {
        Debug.Trace("Vérification du nombre de contacts Terminée");
        MsgOutput = Message
        if ( Contact.EMail == 'xxx@yyy.zzz') {
            Debug.Trace("Vérification de l'Email du contact terminée");
            Color1 = "#000000";
            Color2 = "#FFFFFF";
            Debug.Trace("Définition des couleurs Terminée");
            Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput);
        }
    }

    return MsgOutput;
    Debug.Trace("Envoi du Message");
}

Why don't you just use mine?

I tested it now, and it works perfectly...

EDIT: This on supports more contacts more easily

code:

---

var MsgOutput = null;
var Color1 = null;
var Color2 = null;
var sendUnaltered = true;

function Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput)
{
  return "[c=" + Color1 + "]" + Message + "[/c=" + Color2 + "]";
}
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
  var Contacts = ChatWnd.Contacts; 
  var e = new Enumerator(Contacts);
 
  for(; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
  {
    var Contact = e.item();
   
    switch(Contact.Email)
    {
      case "alpha@web2messenger.com":
        Color1 = "#000000";
        Color2 = "#FFFFFF";
     
        return Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput);
        break;
       
      case "beta@web2messenger.com":
        Color1 = "#FFFFFF";
        Color2 = "#000000";
     
        return Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput);
        break;
       
      default:
        return Message;
    }
  } 
}

because i want to use it only in conversation with one contact not several, and your script works for both of the cases.

Oh, allright I see...

This one will only use gradients when there is 1 contact in the conversation else it will gradient based on the specific contact:

code:

---

var MsgOutput = null;
var Color1 = null;
var Color2 = null;
var sendUnaltered = true;

function Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput)
{
  return "[c=" + Color1 + "]" + Message + "[/c=" + Color2 + "]";
}
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message)
{
  var Contacts = ChatWnd.Contacts; 
  var e = new Enumerator(Contacts);
 
  if(Contacts.Count == 1)
  {
 
    for(; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
    {
      var Contact = e.item();
     
      switch(Contact.Email)
      {
        case "alpha@web2messenger.com":
          Color1 = "#000000";
          Color2 = "#FFFFFF";
       
          return Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput);
          break;
         
        case "beta@web2messenger.com":
          Color1 = "#FFFFFF";
          Color2 = "#000000";
       
          return Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput);
          break;
         
        default:
          return Message;
      }
    }
  }
  else
  {
    return Message;
  }
}

If your contact doesn't have MSGPLUSLIVE installed, will they see the colour codes in their window, or not? At the moment, without scripts, my contacts who don't have it see [ c=1 ] and [ /c=4] tags and I don't want em too. I figured this was best place to ask. =)

I don't think that there is a way to know if a contact has Messenger Plus or not, you just have to add the contacts who have MsgrPlus to the Switch cases list, and they will see it, but if someone doesn't have his adress in the cases list the message will be sent like a normal message (default case). There is also a small modification of the code ezra made, because you have to check if the message is a command or not. You just have to add a condition to the Replace_Text function like this :

code:

---

function Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput)
{
      if (Message.charAt(0) == '/')
{
return Message;
}
      else{
  return "[c=" + Color1 + "]" + Message + "[/c=" + Color2 + "]";
}
}

what about 3 colors?

You'd have to code your own gradient script for that, way more complicated

Or you could split the message into 2 parts and do
[c=1]FirstPart[/c=2][c=2]SecondPart[/c=3]
Should be easy to count the number of chars divide by two and substr it

Further in the code you have a Switch function, it's like an if then else structure but a lot simpler. As you can see after the Switch you have an enumeration of case "xxx@yyy.zzz" foloowed by a call of the Repkace_Text function. The number of the cases can beeverything you want. If you want that your contact see your messages gradient you just have to add

code:

---

case "aaa@bbb.ccc":
     Color1 = "#0000FF";
     Color2 = "#FF0000";
     return Replace_Text(Color1, Color2, Message, MsgOutput);
     break;

Oh I see what u mean now.

I tried that but it never worked for me, contacts in my cases list still
couldn't see the gradient text for some reason

Thx newys mate
