#EVENT and chatwindows and Tells

[RudeBoy]

I have search but havent found a example that i (noob) understands,

is it possible too specify the chatwindow or even better a chatchannel (own made channel you /join) you accept a #EVENT from?

AND

is this doable? (at work so i cant test it)

Code: Select all

#chat tell

Sub main

/doevents

Sub Chat_Event(ChatType, Sender, Text)
/Tell ${Sender} Recived your message about ${Text}
/return

/endmacro

[Preocts]

Code: Select all

#chat tell 

Sub Main 
[color=green]:Loop[/color]
/doevents 
[color=green]/goto :Loop[/color]
[color=red]/return[/color]

Sub Chat_Event(ChatType, Sender, Text) 
[color=yellow]/Tell ${Sender} Recived your message about ${Text} [/color]
/return 

[color=red]/endmacro [/color]

1) You want a loop here to keep checking for tells over and over. Otherwise the macro will run once and end. Not very productive.
2) Every sub needs a /return. This tells MQ to return to the sub that called the one currently running. In Sub Main this ends the macro... so get rid of the /endmacro line. It doesn't belong in white space anyway
3) This should work but this is gonna send that message to anyone who sends you a tell with no/little pause so unless you're known to be an incredibly fast typer you might want to add a check on who sent you that tell

Thanks Preocts - great feedback

[Preocts]

Somtimes I luck out and sound like I understand this.

[RudeBoy]

hmm nothing happens. Very strange. Simply not getting into the Sub Chat_Event since i dont get the /echo. Nothing happens, macro just runs on when im giving it tells

Do i have to specifiy what window to look for the message? Not getting this plz help

Code: Select all

#chat tell

Sub Main

:Loop
/doevents
/goto :Loop

Sub Chat_Event (ChatType,Sender,ChatText)
/echo im inside
/tell ${Sender} repeating your message ${ChatText}
/return

/return

[Preocts]

For a quick explanation we'll call the space inside the Sub /return lines code and the space outside the Sub /return lines whitespace.

Code: Select all

#chat tell 

Sub Main 

:Loop 
/doevents 
/goto :Loop 

Sub Chat_Event (ChatType,Sender,ChatText) 
/echo im inside 
/tell ${Sender} repeating your message ${ChatText} 
/return 

/return [color=red]<----- BOO[/color]

The way you have this written the entire Sub Chat_Event doesn't exist as a sub at all.

Code: Select all

#chat tell 

Sub Main 
:Loop 
/doevents 
/goto :Loop 
[color=red]/return  <---- YAY[/color]

|Each sub live in their own whitespace

Sub Chat_Event (ChatType,Sender,ChatText) 
/echo im inside 
/tell ${Sender} repeating your message ${ChatText} 
/return 

See the difference?

[RudeBoy]

omg so simple. Thanks again, you are my hero.

Didnt get any error msg so i went completly stunned.

Now i see the light (at least for the moment)

[RudeBoy]

Ok i am blind, cant see whats wrong with this, same as before, nothing happens when i send a tell, not even /echo

Code: Select all

#chat tell

Sub Main

:Loop
/doevents
/goto :Loop
/return

Sub Chat_Event (ChatType, Sender, ChatText)
/echo im inside
/tell ${Sender} Recived your message about ${ChatText} in ${ChatType} form
/return

[gameboy]

Try using Event_Chat instead of Chat_Event

[RudeBoy]

Didnt work either....might be a completly different problem. Shall try a new approch after next release after patch....

[Falco72]

Try so:

Code: Select all

#chat tell

Sub Main
   :Loop
   /doevents
   /delay 5
   /goto :Loop
/endmacro

Sub Event_Chat(ChatType,Sender,ChatText)
   /echo im inside
   /tell "@Sender" Recived your message about "@ChatText" in @ChatType form
/return

Change @varname to ${varname} if you are using the new Var system.

[Preocts]

Code: Select all

#chat tell 

Sub Main 

:Loop 
/doevents 
/goto :Loop 
/return 

Sub [color=red]Event_Chat[/color] ([color=green]ChatType,Sender,ChatText[/color]) 
/echo im inside 
/tell [color=yellow]${Sender}[/color] Recived your message about ${ChatText} in ${ChatType} form 
/return 

1) Question: Did you edit your copy of MQ before compiling to enable the new DataVars? The way you have this line now is correct but won't work by default until May 1st.
Now, as Falco72 suggests:
2) Events defined at the top of your macro with "#Event EventName" will always call a Sub called "Event_EventName". #Chat and timers are the two exceptions. They call one sub for all events that concern them.
3) MQ really really hates spaces that have no point. With the new TLO system this has relaxed a tiny bit but not much. No spaces between the parameters.

[RudeBoy]

Yes had the latest MQ2 zip

Yes had changed MQ2main.h for MQ2datavars. Working on other parts of the macro.

Have tried Event_Chat and Chat_Event, nothing happens

Have tried (Sender,.....) with and without spaces....


I dont have a clue whats wrong, looked at a bunch of other macros and mine is no different than theirs, at least not in my eyes.


Im waiting on next realese on MQ2 now hoping its a fluke and its working in that realese

[Falco72]

Have you try this piece of code:

Code: Select all

Sub Main
   :Loop
   /doevents
   [color=red]/delay 5[/color]
   /goto :Loop
/endmacro

My events do NOT kick in if I dont put a /delay after the /doevents, even a zero delay works, like:

Code: Select all

/doevents
/delay 0

[RudeBoy]

no never had time before the patch, will try it as soon a new realese of MQ2 is out. Thanks for the tip :)
