On action

The on ACTION event triggers when you receive private and/or channel action.

on <level>:ACTION:<matchtext>:<*><?><#[,#]>:<commands>

The matchtext can be a wildcard match or even a regular expression. To use regular expressions as matchtext, you need the $-Prefix.

Read access levels to get more info about the <level> field.

The location where this event occurrs can be either a channel (#), a query (?) or both (*).

You can also use variables as matchtext and location parameter.

Note that you can't test these events by typing it yourself. To test them, use another connection, that you can establish via /server.

Example

on *:ACTION:*:#: {
 if (*slaps $me * iswm $1-) {
  msg $chan Don't slap me, $nick $+ !
 } 
}

This example will react on every slap, that hits you and sends a message to this channel: Dont slap me, <nickname who has slapped you>.

on *:ACTION:*moos*:#help.script: {
 msg #help.script $nick just moo'd!. 
}

This example will react on every "moos" in #help.script and sends a message to this channel.
