I believe this should work and I fixed a small security vulnerability related to $read (always use the n switch when using $read)
on *:TEXT:!fact:#: {
if ($nick isop # ) {
if ((%floodQUOTE) || ($($+(%,floodQUOTE.,$nick),2))) { return }
set -u10 %floodQUOTE On
set -u30 %floodQUOTE. $+ $nick On
msg $chan $read(heartfacts.txt,n)
facts $chan
}
else {
msg $chan Mods will one of you fact command please if it hasn't been used too recently?
}
}
alias facts {
if ($timer([facts]).type == online) { return }
elseif ($timer([facts]).type == offline) {
.timer[facts] 0 1800 msg $1 $read(heartfacts.txt,n)
}
}There may be a better way, but this was all I could think of at the current time.
When you first do the !fact command, it'll check if a timer is active that outputs facts, if a timer is active, it'll return and not execute the alias, if one isn't active, it'll become active and start outputting a random fact every 30 minutes.
Note: This will activate only if a mod uses the command, if you want it so that if only a user is there, then just add the tweet $chan to the else part of the code.
