Editing mirc/on events/on action

{{mirc title|On Action - Events}}
The '''ON ACTION''' event triggers on an action ({{mIRC|/me}} or {{mIRC|/describe}}) events inside of a channel, or a query window.

== Synopsis ==
<pre>ON <level>:ACTION:<matchtext>:<*><?><#[,#]>:<commands></pre>

== Parameters ==
* '''<level>''' - The corresponding {{mIRC|access levels}} for the event to trigger.
* '''<matchtext>''' - The corresponding {{mIRC|on text|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'''
<source lang="mIRC">ON *:ACTION:* slap *:#:msg # $nick $+ ! Why would you slap anyone?!?!?</source>

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'''
<source lang="mIRC">ON *:ACTION:*:?:msg $nick Well, I have no idea why I'm responding to this automatically, $nick $+ . You said: $1-</source>

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