EQ2event to forward tells... filter out NPC chat?
I have the following event which reliably relays a tell to my main character. however, it also relays everything including vendor chat and pets, well, because those NPCs also start their text with "tells you".

So i was wondering, is there something i can add or change that will only relay the tell if it is from a PC?

Macro
More +
[relaytell]
trigger=#1# tells you, #2#
command=/tell myname ${EventArg1} told me, '${EventArg2.Mid[2,${Math.Calc[${EventArg2.Length}-2]}]}'


thanks.

MQ2EQBC handles this

/bccmd toggle tellwatch

I believe

Thank you. I looked at that and remember seeing it when i was newer to this.

But the thing is, it sends the tell to the macroquset window, but i almost exclusively have that minimized while i play on my single, main character.

so this begs the question, is it possible for the /bc command to forward that tell to my main character?

Un minimize the window?

Combine the two. Turn on tell watch and then have an mq2event only on your main
That event will monitor the specific syntax of a relay tell and send it to a channel such as /join mymain:mypass

Is it spam from macros or from plugins (or both)?

You can add /squelch to your macro commands to lessen the spam.

Also, mine does not get spam. You probably have a macro talking too much or mq2melee setup wrong..

In a regular macro (not MQ2Events), you can use #chat events and not just #event events.
