Forums Scripts & Popups How can this be done the easiest/best way ?

Hey guys,

you helped me a lot in the past thanks again but now i'm looking for a solution again.
I'm trying to write a littel Game for my channel where people can slap eachother and different things happen. They could loose some Coins for example nad now i gave them the option to buy a shield for 1 hour.
I do it like this :

I created an ini file and when they type !shield this is what i do :
So i create an entry and when the timer reached 3600s i remove the entry. When they try to slap someone it will check if there is an entry.
Could you tell me another way how to do this ? I could imagine that my solution isn't a good one.

Thanks.

Greetings, Nut

Hi,

I'm no expert (By far) but if they're buying a shield for an x amount of seconds, couldn't you just do a global var called shield.$nick and set it to countdown the x amount of seconds using -uXXXX ?

Edit:


And then check if %shield. $+ $chan $+ . $ + $chan when attacking? Hope you find a solution!

Hey lindenkron,

thanks for your reply i think that's it.
I absolutely forgot the -u countdown. Can't test it now but you understood my problem and the solutions sounds correct.
Thank you very much!

I should mention when you check, to check for a dynamic variable you need to use [ $+ [ $chan ] ], you can't use $+ $chan like you do when you set it.

so it'll be %shield. [ $+ [ $chan ] ] $+ . [ $+ [ $nick ] ] (I believe, not 100% sure :P)

GL!
