The % prefix is how mirc detemines if it is a variable or not. If there is no % prefix (or & for binvar) mirc will think it is not a variable and will not try to retrieve the data from the variables list.

ok thanks, i thought they did. i have no idea what hash tables are used for so ill lookinto that later on. well in a script ive got theres a thing called $slice and its not in the help file so i dont know what it means, do any of you?
Look for an alias called slice, it will be either in the remote scripts titled 'alias slice' or 'alias -l slice' or it will be in the aliases just called 'slice'
example of a custom identifier
alias testing { return testing testing 1. $1 2. $1 3. $1 } on *:text:!test *:#: { say $testing($2) }
<somenick> !test yo <yournick> testing testing 1. yo 2. yo 3. yo
