Is there a way to tell what channel a script is using?

You would have to scan through all 4,294,967,295 channels.

Nope. If a scripter uses a random channel generator, it could be anywhere in that range and it would take you AGES to test every single one. That's why they're called private channels. ;)

Again, what I was afraid of. I was hoping to write an addon to a script system in use, instead of rewriting the whole system, since it works great. Oh well, I guess I'm writing the whole thing.

Just ask the developer, chances are they might just give you the answer.

Well, you *CAN* get the channel if the traffic on it 1) is fairly constant (ie, you can depend on messages being sent repeatedly within a certain time frame), and 2) stays on that channel, not channel-hopping every few messages. It will still take some time, though, and quite a bit of sim resources, so I would not recommend doing it unless it is your own sim.

It is simply an issue of feasibility.
