newcomer to scripting

Look in Kenobi, there is a window kicker there. Take ideas from it.

menu * {
 $iif($window(@kicks),$style(1)) $+ Kick Tracker:{ if ($window(@kicks)) { window -c @kicks | echo -a * KickTracker off } | else { window @kicks | echo -a * KickTracker on } }
}
on *:kick:#:{
 if ($window(@kicks)) {
   echo -i2 @kicks -
   echo -i2 @kicks • DATE/TIME: $asctime(mm/dd) $asctime(hh:nn:ss) • ROOM: $chan • WHO: $nick kicked $knick • WHY: $1-
   echo -i2 @kicks -
 }
}

i think that might be what you want.

not quite what i was looking for curiosity question though would anyone be able to tell me if there's a reason why a kick msg wouldn't be showing?

scratch my last post i got it figured out
