Parameters

• <level> - The corresponding access levels for the event to trigger.
• <matchtext> - The corresponding matchtext for the event to trigger.
• <*><?><#[,#]> - The place, or places where the event listens, you can specify specific name of window, seperate them by comma.

Examples

Listens for if anyone uses the word slap anywhere in an action inside of any channel

ON *:ACTION:* slap *:#:msg # $nick $+ ! Why would you slap anyone?!?!?

The above code listens for the action event, looks for if the user used the word slap in any channel, and then responds accordingly.

Note: The wildcard search, with a space between them and the word, means this event will not trigger if any other characters are touching the word slap. This includes words such as: slaps, slapper, myslap, etc.

Listen for any action inside of a private message and responds

ON *:ACTION:*:?:msg $nick Well, I have no idea why I'm responding to this automatically, $nick $+ . You said: $1-

This code will listen for any action event in a private message, and respond with a silly message.
