The ON BAN event is triggered whenever a user on a channel has been banned. When the ban occurs, the two identifiers that are most closely associated with the event are the $banmask identifier, and the $bnick identifier. It is important to note that $bnick is not always filled, as some bans don't always contain the nickname, but rather a wildcard in the form of a banmask.

Synopsis

ON <level>:BAN:<#[,#]>:<commands>

Parameters

<level>The level for the event to trigger.

<#[,#]>The channel or channels for which the ban occurred. Optionally, you can use just a single # tag which refers to all channels, or you can specify a channel name directly, such as #myChannel. Furthermore, mIRC allows you the option of including multiple channels, which are separated with a comma, like so: #myChannel,#myOtherChannel,#lastChannel

<commands>The commands to be performed when the event listener's criteria is met.

Examples

; Let's create a ban event that listens for a ban
; on all channels, and responds by messaging the channel.
 
ON *:BAN:#:msg # Looks like the address $banmask has just been added to this channel's ban list.

; This next example will watch for a ban on two
; specific channels: #myChannel and #myOtherChannel. When a ban is
; noticed, the script will also attempt to find out if a $bnick was set.
; If it was not, it will use it, otherwise it will use $banmask.
 
ON *:BAN:#myChannel,#myOtherChannel:msg # Wow, so $iif($bnick,$bnick just got in trouble,$banmask was just added to the channel's ban list) $+ .

The above script utilizes the $iif() identifier, which is a very powerful inline comparison tool within mIRC.
