The ON ACTION event triggers on an action (/me or /describe) events inside of a channel, or a query window.
Synopsis
ON <level>:ACTION:<matchtext>:<*><?><#[,#]>:<commands>
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.
- * - Any query/channel window
- ? - Any query windows
- # - Any channel window
- <commands> - The commands to be performed when the event triggers
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.
