# $EPIC: on_action.txt,v 1.5 2012/07/04 06:30:23 jnelson Exp $

Synopsis:

on action

Summary:

Triggered by other people's me commands

Description:

This event is thrown whenever someone sends a ctcp action to you or to a channel you are on. Ctcp actions are generated by the me and describe commands.

Parameters:

$0 Who sent the action
$1 Who the action was sent to (your nickname, or a channel)
$2- Message body

Default Behavior:

If you don't supress this event, the client will format the message and output it to the channel's window.

Examples:

To distinguish personal actions from those sent to a channel:

 on ^action * (sender, recvr, body) {
    if (recvr == servernick()) {
       echo *> $sender $body;
    } else if (iscurchan($recvr)) {
       echo * $sender $body;
    } else {
       echo * $sender/$recvr $body;
    };
 };
