Forums Scripts & Popups Points script help please :)

Hello! I have a pretty much fully functional script for points already, but it runs constantly - people are getting way too many points for nothing!

If at all possible, I need a command to start/stop it at the beginning/end of streams.

My current points script:

alias -l addPoints {
if ($1 !isnum) { echo 2 -st $1 is not a number. It needs to be a number. | halt }
var %topic $+($chan,.,$nick)
var %points $calc($readini(Points.ini,%topic,Points) + $1)
writeini -n Points.ini %topic Points %points
return %points
}

alias -l lookUpPoints {
var %topic $+($chan,.,$nick)
var %points $readini(Points.ini,%topic,Points)
return %points
}
alias doaddpoints {
if ($3 !isnum) { echo 2 -st $3 is not a number. It needs to be a number. | halt }
var %topic $+($1,.,$2)
var %points $calc($readini(Points.ini,%topic,Points) + $3)
writeini -n Points.ini %topic Points %points
echo -a Added points for %topic
}

alias dorempoints {
var %topic $+($1,.,$2)
remini -n Points.ini %topic Points
echo -a Removed points for %topic
}

on *:text:!points:#:{
if ((%floodpoints) || ($($+(%,floodpoints.,$nick),2))) { return }
set -u10 %floodpoints On
set -u30 %floodpoints. $+ $nick On
msg # $nick has $readini(Points.ini,$+(#,.,$nick),Points) total DePoints.
}

on $*:text:/!points (add|remove)/Si:#:{
if ($nick isop #) {
if ($0 < 3) { msg # Insufficient parameters: Use !points <add|remove> <user> [number] | return }
writeini -n Points.ini $+(#,.,$3) Points $calc($readini(Points.ini,$+(#,.,$3),Points) $iif($2 == add,+,-) $iif($4 isnum,$4,1))
{ msg $chan $3 now has $readini(Points.ini,$+(#,.,$3),Points) total points. }
}
else { msg $chan This command is only available to moderators. }
}
on !*:join:#:{
$+(.timerpoints.,#,.,$nick) 0 300 add.pts $+(#,.,$nick)
add.pts $+(#,.,$nick)
}
on !*:part:#:$+(.timerpoints.,#,.,$nick) off
alias -l add.pts {
writeini -n Points.ini $1 Points $calc($readini(Points.ini,$1,Points) + 5)


Thanks a lot for any help.

/help if
/help /set
you would make an on text command that would (probably be moderator only) set a variable on and another to set it off.
then in the join command you would have it check for that variable to be on or off, then have the 'off' one not give points (or have it give less)

thanks I think I understand what you're getting at, but I don't really know the first thing about how to code something like that :s do you think you could give me an example to work off of? if it isn't too much trouble

thanks so much <3

tip: (remove spaces) for inserting a script use [ code ] (scripts here) [ /code ]
-
an example script for turning it on/off:
usage:
!stream live
!stream off
then, you would add a line like this to your join command
the ! in the first part of the if statement make is opposite, so if there is no variable %isstreamon then it will do the code after it. the return at the end stops the code.

incase you need this, this is the join command

personally, I would tie in the points timer to an "uptime" command. onjoin, check if uptime/isonline before setting the timer, if not uptime/online, set timer off.

i was thinking to do that, but in this post i was writing a script right from the reply box and a command to turn it on/off was mentioned.

this works the best to make sure people cant gain points while its off

on !*:join:#:{
if (%flag == 1 ) {
$+(.timerpoints.,#,.,$nick) 0 36 add.pts $+(#,.,$nick)
add.pts $+(#,.,$nick)
if ($nick isop #) {
msg # The Creator Has Enter The Stream
}
}
elseif (%flag == 0 ) {
msg # sorry $nick the points system is off but feel free to check your points if you want
}
else {
msg $chan $nick you broke my code gg
}
}
on !*:part:#:$+(.timerpoints.,#,.,$nick) off
alias -l add.pts {
writeini -n points.ini $1 points $calc($readini(points.ini,$1,points) + 5)
}

might want to change that else in the join. if %flag isn't there and you have a stream averaging 100 viewers the chat will be spammed with broken code

Thank you so much. It really helped!
