Template:mIRC Guide The ON NICK event triggers when a user is on the same channel as you, and they change their nickname.

This event fills the $chan, $newnick, and $nick identifiers.

Identifier	Description
$chan	The channel name where the event occurred. This can also be #.
$newnick	The new nickname of the user. You can use it with $comchan for example.
$nick	The user's previous nickname.

Synopsis

ON <level>:NICK:<commands>

Example

Echo the nickname change, and disregard mIRC's default nick change message:

ON ^*:NICK: {
  echo $chan * $nick |==> $newnick
 
  ; Halt the default mIRC message
  haltdef
}

The results of the above example resemble the following:

* Mr_SOCKS |==> noLaundry

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
