Multiple events for one nick. - mIRC Discussion Forums

Hi

Lets say i am in 4 channels that another person is also in. they type @find in all 4 channels at the same time, is there a way to react to the user but only once, not 4 times?

i am thinking $comchan, not sure how i would go about using it though

any thought or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

thanks in advance

Set a temp var and check it in the ontext event

Code:

on *:text:@find *:#{
  if %@find. [ $+ [ $nick ] ] { return }
  set -u60 %@find. $+ $nick 1
  ...
}

you might create a timer with something like

Code:

 /timer$nick 1 3 /whatever

and then just check to see if it's active, thus limiting the person to one search every 3 seconds for all channels you are in

(the code may be bad, but i hope the idea helps)

Hows something like this?

Code:

on *:TEXT:@find*:#:{ 
 if (% $+ $nick $+ .find == $nick) { halt }
  else {
    set -u60 % $+ $nick $+ .find $nick
    other commands and if statements
  }
}

"if (% $+ $nick $+ .find == $nick) { halt }" won't work because it isn't evaluated.
It would need to be "if (% [ $+ [ $nick ] $+ .find ] == $nick)" or "if ($eval($+(%,$nick,.find),2) == $nick)"
Apart from that, this needs less code

Code:

on *:text:@find *:#{
  if %@find. [ $+ [ $nick ] ] { return }
  ; ^ if the variable is set, the script 'returns'
  ; (stops further processing in THIS code block)
  set -u60 %@find. $+ $nick 1
  ; ^ if the variable is set, the script never gets to this line (or any following)

  ;rest of code goes here

}

This is the whole code i have, i hopefully implemented the suggestions you gave me...i am hoping this will cut down on my sending unneeded messages as i am constantly getting the target change too fast. please wait message from the server, even when i do cut down on the channels i am in

Code:

on *:TEXT:@find *:#:{
  if (% [ $+ [ $nick ] $+ .find ] == $nick) { return }
  set -u60 % $+ $nick $+ .find $nick
  var %lsearch $+(*,$replace($2-,$chr(32),$chr(42)),*) 
  var %found $hfind(filelist,* $+ %lsearch $+ *,0,w).data
  if (%found != 0) {
    if (%found &gt;= 5) { var %hfound 5 }
    else var %hfound $hfind(filelist,* $+ %lsearch $+ *,0,w).data
    var %tfound %hfound
    .notice $nick 0,2Am Sending You The Results Of Your Query For: %lsearch
    while %hfound &gt; 0 {    
      .timerfind $+ $nick $+ . $+ %hfound 1 $calc(%hfound * 3) .notice $nick ! $+ $me $&amp;
      $nopath($hget(filelist,$hfind(filelist,* $+ %lsearch $+ *,%hfound,w).data))
      dec %hfound 
    }
    .timerfind $+ $nick $+ . $+ final 1 $calc(%tfound * 3 + 3) .notice $nick 0,2 $iif(%found &lt; 5,I have finished $&amp;
      Sending You %tfound results from your search for: %lsearch,I have more than 5 results for %lsearch  please be $&amp;
      more specific or try grabbing my list:  $+(@,$me))
  }
  else .notice $nick 0,2Sorry $nick, i dont have any files matching %lsearch
}
