$agent can be used to return information about your currently installed Microsoft Agent.
Synopsis
$agent(<N|name>,[N])[.property]
Parameters
NThis can be used to retrieve information about the Nth loaded Agent. If this paramter is 0, then mIRC will return the total number of installed agents.
nameWhen using an actual agent name, this parameter can retrieve information about that agent via the optional [.property] feature. If no properties are past, mIRC simply returns the agent name you originally specified.
[N]The optional [N] parameter, when passed along with a valid agent name, will retrieve information regarding animation queues for that agent.
Properties
- activeSpecifies if the agent is the active or topmost Agent window.
- animWhen coupled with an Agent name, and the optional [N] parameter, this will give you information regarding the animations available to that Agent. If [N] is 1 or higher, this property will return the name of the Nth animation. If [N] is 0, this will return the total number of available animations for this Agent.
- balloonGets the current balloon properties for the Agent, which can be: on, off, size, pace, hide.
- charWhen coupled with an Nth passed parameter, rather than an Agent name, this property can return the file name for the Nth specified Agent. If N is 0, this property will return the total number of installed Agents.

- lineWhen coupled with an Agent name, and the optional [N] parameter, this property will give you information regarding the queued lines waiting to be spoken by the Agent. If [N] is 1 or higher, this property will return the text in the Nth queued text line. If [N] is 0, this will return the total number of lines waiting to be spoken in the Agent queue.
