Using Grimmsofts VB wrapper is there any way to tell who the target was for
a wisper? Neither grimmsoft.com or the AW SDK site seemed to hold any
clues.

Any assistance greatly appreciated

A confusing question, the one who can hear the whisper is
the whisper target I think. I don't know the VB wrapper
but I don't think that it will (can) handle this different.

You will have to keep a Session Table if I am correct.

[View Quote] Clues are all over the place if you read the documentation but just in a few words:
Keep a list of all of your avatars (AW_EVENT_AVATAR_ADD and AW_EVENT_AVATAR_DELETE events) with the proper callback functions where each avatar is uniquely distinguished by the session number (AW_AVATAR_SESSION) (as M a k .. tried to explain). Pick the proper session for the whisper target and call the aw_whisper(session,message) function (I'm not a VB guy but I'm sure the wrapper has such a function).

Ok, I think there may be some uncertainty over what I meant - ananas was the
closest. Getting the bot to wisper is not the problem, as Andras pointed
out this is well documented.

When you log AwChatMessage within the AW_EVENT_CHAT event it's possible to
capture AwChatMessage, AW_CHAT_TYPE and AwAvatarName to tell who said what
ie

Bill said 'this is normal chat'
or
Bill wispered 'this is a wisper'
or
PKBill broadcast 'this is a broadcast'

When I say wisper target I mean I want to log something like :

Bill wispered 'this is a wisper' to Ben

Ben being the wisper target

I hope this clears any confusion :0)

You won't get such information. Whispers between visitors are not accessible by the bot or any other tool. The only info youi can have (from the world server's log) that "Bill whispered to Ben" nothing more!

That's fine, thanks Andras, I suspected as much. I just had one or two
complaints from world users about harasment through wispers, the targets
cannot even use mute.

I'll monitor the situation, if the offender persists I'll just have to
implement an 'eject on sight' policy :(

Thanks again

there's no reason for using a bot for persistent ejects anymore, just use
the World Ejections screen in the world properties (AW 3.0 and newer)
