I gave you almost everything you need... I am sorry but if someone isn't willing to learn then why should I just give them something... they wont learn at all...

Your original post said you wanted to make a script not have one made for you...

Sounds like a remote code execution vulnerability waiting to happen :p

Very true. What if the user does something like:
code:
!calc new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Run("format c:");
So that's why Shondoit and me made the Calculator script some time ago, with a custom algorithm for calculations. Despite the fact that this algorithm isn't perfect, it does simple things fine. It's just that a remote command was never integrated in the script... :P

What you could do to add some kind of remote command feature is either modify the script itself and add an OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage function, or make a separate script which parses "!calc" from another user and makes you send "/calc". Simply remember that I'm not planning to work on the script myself for some time, I have other projects these days.

... then nothing would happen since not only can you not format the active system partition, but it would also ask for confirmation.
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.

How about:
!calc while(true);
Nice way to make messenger unresponsive...

Seriously, don't just pass anything to eval after first validating it properly. I'd say make sure the only characters in there are numbers, spaces, and math operators like +,-,* etc.
