The ON UDPWRITE is an event which was added in mIRC with UDP, but never has been documented. The event was meant to be used as the on sockwrite event for TCP, however, something fucked up and the actual design ended up being that on sockwrite triggers for UDP socket if no error happened while on udpwrite will trigger if an error occured.
Note: This behavior was changed for consistency and backward compatibility in mIRC 7.33:
-on udpwrite is no longer triggered. -on sockwrite triggers for UDP socket regardless of the error state.
Writting more
It is possible that the data hasn't sent successfuly, especially with UDP, you should be checking for error with {{mIRC|$sockerr} before trying to do anything, here is a list of the possible value for $sockerr in the on UDPWRITE event:
- 0 - The data has been written sucessfuly.
- 3 - Error occurred while trying to send the data, $sock().wsmsg will contain a more specific error message.
Examples
on *:udpwrite:name:{ if ($sockerr) { echo -s An error occured while trying to read data: $sock($sockname).wsmsg | return } }
