I suggest you read over the Custom Events section in the readme including with the MQ zip.

Looks like to start with you are missing a 1 and a 2.

Code: Select all

#event invite    "#1#tells you#2#password#*#"

From there I leave you to work on the sub routine. First I see no check for you password so anyone who tells you gets an invite.

Variable names are case sensitive.. You declared Invitee (with a capital I) but you target invitee (lowercase).

#event invite "#1#tells you#2#password#*#"

#1# will match the PC name.. but it will have a space on the end (since there's no space between #1# and tell). Probably doesn't matter.. but it might.

I'd recommend you take a good look at what the text looks like when it comes in.

Code: Select all

<Playername> tells you, '<what they say>'

or something like that. The #1# tags will match ANYTHING they can. This means that if JoeCool01 did the following:

Code: Select all

 /tell yourchar 1234 password aaah! i'm being eaten by dwarves!

your params woulc match the following (minus quotes)

Code: Select all

#1#: "JoeCool01 "
#2#: ", '1234 "
#*#: " aaah! i'm being eaten by dwarves!'"

It's rather specific about that sort of thing. Make sure you take spaces and punctuation into account when defining your events. That's the best advice I can give.
