Can doevents read other windows?

Post by Quadzer » Fri Oct 24, 2003 6:01 pm

When I /doevents it reads the chat window. Is there a way to get it to read a different window?

Like on my monk i have a small window with all my hits going there and I need to read that window.

Can this be done?

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, MQ reads the text output before EQ even parses it for the windows, so if you're not capturing what you wanted, check your text.

To capture channel text:
#chat chat

To capture tells
#chat tell


anything else:

#event MySub "I got my ass beat by"


Then make sure your sub is correctly named:

sub Event_MySub

Code: Select all

#chat <channel>
Declares what chat channel you want Event_Chat to handle . <channel> can be: say, ooc, shout, tell, group, auc, chat
