The $newnick identifier is filled when the ON NICK event is triggered on a channel. This event triggers when either a remote user changes their nickname on a channel, or the local mIRC client has changed its nickname.

Synopsis

$newnick

Parameters

None

Example

Echo to the channel when the local nickname is changed, and halt mIRC's default message:

ON ME:^*:NICK: {
  echo $chan You are now ==> $newnick
 
  ; Halt the default mIRC message
  haltdef
}

The example above should have an output resembling the following:

You are now ==> whoMe
