I'm trying to change the dice roller script by Rctll to be an emote instead of just a chat message.

Editing the script I'd think I could just change the line:

code:

---

return ('I get a ' + r + ' with a ' + base + ' sided dice.');

---

to

code:

---

return ('/me got a ' + r + ' with a ' + base + ' sided dice.');

---

This works when I have no arguments but once I specify a number (eg. /roll 100) the emote goes through without my name like this:

> got a 80 with a 100 sided dice.


Any ideas?

umm that's what an emote is.
if i typed /me slaps you with a fish
it would send (in purple i think)

In Windows Live Messenger, you can type multiple messages, without your name coming up every time (know what I mean?), well.. the screenshot explains itself:



This happens unless you go to Tools > Options > Messages > tick 'Show contact says: before every message'

Thanks for the responses.  The end result was a user problem.

Chris4 what you said was correct and that was screwing me up.  Seeing 'Pqee rolls a die' made me think all of them would show up that way.  On the receiving end it was always showing up as both of you mentioned:  '> rolls a die.'

Thanks for clarifying it.
