i use raws to join all my chans. You just need to set how to join the first chan, I have it set to join after my vhost gets set.
#rawww on
on ^*:notice:Your vhost*:*: {
if ($nick == HostServ) {
.enable #rawjoin
timerbotzjoin 1 20 /join #chan1
}
}
#rawww end
#rawjoin off
raw 329:*: {
if ($2 == #chan1) /join #chan2
if ($2 == #chan2) /join #chan3
if ($2 == #chan3) /join #chan4
if ($2 == #chan4) .disable #rawjoin
}
#rawjoin end
That has always worked for me.
