need help with onjoin - mIRC Discussion Forums

Need help (or explanation) for this please.

Code:

on me:*:JOIN:#: {
  if ($chan == #channel1) { run an alias }  [color:red]alias works from command line [/color] 
  if ($chan == #channel2) { run another alias } [color:red] also works from command line [/color] 
  if ($chan == #channel3) { mode # +isnt }  [color:red] this works [/color] 
}

This will not trigger the aliases when I join, but it will set the mode of the third channel. Why? Is is my code, or something with mIRC?

In that case the flaw would be occuring in your aliases, not in the on JOIN event.

one alias is a /msg to an individual (that works from the command line) and the other has worked from every other remote command I've used it in (plus the command line)

on me:*:JOIN:#: {
if ($chan == #channel1) { channel1 }
if ($chan == #channel2) { channel2 }
if ($chan == #channel3) { mode # +isnt }
}
alias channel1 {
echo -t joined #channel1!
}
alias channel2 {
echo -t joined #channel2!
}

Works for me! if it doesn't please send the exact alias you use

Without the actual code its a bit hard to see if it might be something like a typo.

So i would do this

Code:

on me:*:JOIN:#: {
  if ($chan == #channel1) { echo -st JOIN EVENT $CHAN ... run an alias }
  if ($chan == #channel2) { echo -st JOIN EVENT $CHAN ... run another alias }
  if ($chan == #channel3) { mode # +isnt }
}

Then you can monitor if the alias is even being called and if it is exactly whats being passed as parameters.

oh PS : i would also do this (although its not related to your problem)

Code:

on me:*:JOIN:#: {
  if ($chan == #channel1)     { echo -st JOIN EVENT $CHAN ... run an alias }
  elseif ($chan == #channel2) { echo -st JOIN EVENT $CHAN ... run another alias }
  elseif ($chan == #channel3) { mode # +isnt }
}

[edit]
silly question, your not putting the word /RUN aliasname are you?

Problem solved: needed a timer

Code:

on me:*:JOIN:#: {
  if ($chan == #channel1) { .timer 1 30 run an alias }  
  if ($chan == #channel2) { .timer 1 30 run another alias } 
  if ($chan == #channel3) { mode # +isnt } 
}

About "on join", can anyone tell me an aliase that sends automaticaly a message to the users when entering a specified channel?I would appreciate some help

1 specific channel
on !*:JOIN:#channel:msg $nick Hello $nick $+ ! Welcome to #

Multiple specific channels
on !*:JOIN:#channel1,#channel2,#channel3:msg $nick Hello $nick $+ ! Welcome to #
