Code: ON me::JOIN:#: { hadd -m timetrack $+($cid, !, #) $ctime } ON me::PART:#: { echo -s Spent $duration($calc($ctime - $hget(timetrack, $+($cid, !, #))) on # hdel timetrack $+($cid, !, #) } (Note: code untested) (Edit: Removed stray '(').

That's never happened to me As a side note, if you did need to use a hash table, you can still use a similar code, saving on the $calc. Code: on me::join:#:{ hinc -mc timetrack $+($cid,#) } on me::part:#:{ echo -s Spent $duration($hget(timetrack,$+($cid,#))) on # hdel timetrack $+($cid,#) }
