Question about the event 'event_msg_received'

[leuko]

Today I wanted to write a plugin to count the sent and received messages. To do it I used the events 'event_msg_received' and 'event_msg_sent'. But when I send a message both events occur. Is this a normal feature?

Yes , this has already been answered in the forums, please search before asking next time.
The chat_msg_received event is sent whenever we write something in the chat window, to know if it's your own message or a message from someone else, simply do a check on the evpar(user) and check whether it's yourself or not.

Code:

if { $user != [::config::getKey login] } {
     incr msg_received
} else {
    incr msg_sent
}
