A good idea.

Alternatly, I'd like to see Script Variables that are local to a script file, or Static Variables local to an alias/event that do not expire. These could double in functionality as "Constants" and gives you the option to modify them by script.
Code:
(beginning of file)
static %settings = settingsfile.ini
static %botname = TrivServ
 
Alias something {
  static %calls = %calls + 1
  writeini %settings Something Calls %calls
}

Unlike global variables, the values for these variables wouldn't be stored in a file, but simply kept in memory like hashtables are. If mIRC restarts, their values are reset.

There are some similar ideas posted here aswell.

PS. Yes, yes, codemastr... Constants are not Variables are not Constants. Our disagreements have been dualy noted in the above link.

Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
