how do I do an action with tcl?

[Draknon]

the normal IRC action command is /me .. well..

Code: Select all

 /me asks for help 

how do I make that in tcl?

Code: Select all

privmsg $chan

is not correct as it is just a statement.

And I know I didn't write out the whole thing but privmsg is wrong anyway

for actions use;

Code: Select all

 putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :\001ACTION asks for help."

I gave you a link just the other day.

and then:

The "ACTION" type is what you get when you use the command "/me" in mIRC or BitchX for example.
For example if you want to get "/me feels tired." the syntax would be putserv "PRIVMSG <nickname/channel> :\001ACTION feels tired.".

thanks for thinking I also was fluent in mirc language enough to know that the /me would be a CTCP I had no idea it was till I got the \001ACTION command. and again, thanks for the help.

Oh, I didn't think that at all.

I just knew it was in there, in the material on that web site that I'd given you the link for.
Maybe you didn't really mean, "I couldn't find that anywhere" ?
