At this point I'd like to clarify something (not to you; in general). if condition { commands } is perfectly acceptable by mirc and
1) doesn't generate errors
2) is faster (NOT slower, as many people seem to believe) than if (condition) { commands }
In all the scripts I've written so far, I use this syntax and I've never seen it break. Of course, in multiple conditions, () pairs may be needed to control the order of evaluation (for example if 0 && (1 || 2) ), but that's all they are necessary for.
However, things are different when you omit the { } around the commands part: if condition command can break very easily, depending on the contents of "condition" or "command". I would strongly advise against this syntax, unless one really knows what they're doing.
