Hi everybody, i would like know if it's possible to create a script who change my status when Quake4 is running?

Hmm... The only conceivable way I can see of doing it is monitering if the process is running (if it is even indeed possible) and then changing the script.

It's also a possibility that you could use the XFire API (if there is one...) and connect to it via script. Pure guesswork on my part though.

Well as cloudhunter said the best way would probably be to have a timer and check the existence of the process (using Interop.Call and the Windows API, or creating a DLL) and changing status accordingly.

I don't know of a way that the script can be notified the moment Quake is started, though.

It can't because JScript can't get events (grrrrrrrrrr) ... you'd have to do it on a timer. Isn't Quake full screen though? Messenger has an option to change your status to Busy automatically when fullscreen apps are open..

OK thanks lloks for addin so ^^

Or you could do it completely differently and write a script that looks for keywords, such as !quake. It would then run Quake (/run <path> ) and change your status etc.

Hope that this helps

Leet Sig can monitor current forground apps - So a script similar to that should work but that would monitor all forground apps - so therefore they would all appear. - (Maybe it can be scripted to only show the one that your requesting)

Some people might like that I spose.

Is this possible? I don't know.

(If you look at my second Sig at the top it reads -"Current Foreground App - " Thats what I'm talking about)
