Is there a better way to script this?

First off, look at what the script should be doing
and what it is doing..

on 1:text:*:?:{

this is an event that activates when a private message is
sent to you.

if ($nick isop #) goto op

This is a check to see if the user is op on "that channel"
But what you have to realize is, that no channel is defined
as the message was PRIVATE.. and not to a channel. # = NULL
so your script wont work.

What you might opt to do is check if the user is an op on
any channel you are on?

We could write an alias to grab a list of channels you and
the person who messaged are on together using comchan
(lets call it gcom, get common channels) $gcom($nick) will
check if the user is an op on any channel you are on, and
return "1" if true.

alias gcom {
var %i = 0
while ($comchan($$1,%i)) {
if ($1 isop $comchan($1,%i)) return 1
inc %i
}
return 0
}

Now we do this: add the "^" to our event which allows
us to halt default actions from taking place within
our client using "haltdef" (why close the query window
when it never has to open at all right?)

on ^1:text:*:?:{
if ($away) {
;ignore messages from nonops
if ($gcom($nick) == 0) {
echo 4 -s Ignored a message from $nick $+ .
haltdef
}
}
;not away, allow all messages
echo 4 -s Private message from $nick $+ .
beep 5 1
}

Anyhow, I think that should have the same results. Put both the
alias and the event in your remotes and try it out. I'm not even
sure that it works, off the top of my head..

on 1:text:*:?: {
if ($away) {
if ($nick isop #) goto op
.msg $nick I am currently not responding to private messages, please try
later :)
close -m $nick
/echo 4 -s Ignored a message from $nick $+ .
/halt
:op
/echo 4 -s private message from $nick $+ .
/beep 5 1
/halt
}
else {
/echo 4 -s private message from $nick $+ .
/beep 5 1
/halt
}
}
I'm sure there must be a way that doesn't repeat a whole bunch of script but
I'm a newbie at this ;-)
