im currently using mayabot 4 and its all going fine, but i want to do the following,
that when someone adds mayabot to there list that the bot automaticly adds them to, so it can see when they change there status etc

i want to make a log of when people change there display name, eg from 2shae to ~2shae~

this is all im trying to get right now, the main part is the display bit, i dont mind how long it takes to get the auto adding of people bit

Look at the handlers used in the MSN.pm module and you will be able to do what you want.

Saying "I've tried and it doesn't work" doesn't let anyone understand what you're trying to do. Post code, post errors, etc

The MSN module has a handler, ContactAddingUs, which is called when a user adds you. All you have to do is then add that user to your own contact list at that time and you can then monitor their status with the Status handler.

yes i know that, but ive tried adding the line
addContact($username)
but it just causes an error

That's correct, but you need to do it with the Messenger object you created, for example $messenger->addContact($user)
