The ON Chat event, much like the ON Serv event, is triggered when a message is sent via a DCC Chat window.

Synopsis

ON <level>:CHAT:<matchtext>:<commands>

Parameters

<level>The level for the event to trigger.

<matchtext>The text that to be matched. Much like the ON TEXT event, this can be any combination of text letters, numbers, and wildcards.

<commands>The commands to be performed when the event listener's criteria is met.

Examples

; This event waits for any user on a DCC Chat to use the
; command !time and then relays back to them the current time
 
ON *:CHAT:!time:msg =$nick The current time is: hh:nntt

In the above example, the msg is not simply followed by the $nick identifier. Instead, the =$nick identifier has been used. This special identifier tells mIRC that the event should not simply send a private message to the user, but rather it should message the user's DCC Chat window, if there is one.
