Forums Scripts & Popups Random Slap Script

well he does have a semi functioning brain
i assumed he would work that out for himself

thanks

didnt know you could use $r

if u still want that tutorial let me know
or just wait till www.mirc.net is back up and go look for it there
i dont have the url

Well you can use $r, but to be honest it's best for readability to use $rand, also $r is an old identifier, not mentioned in the help file anymore, it might be gone some day.

I only put it because I know what I'm doing (and I like shorter code), though perhaps I should start using $rand.

I switched it to $rand though, so no worries. Thanks once again.

Do u know if it just happned to br $r or if it might have been shortened on purpose to let you get the max out of a $($str($!r(...) $!+ $chr(32),N),2) ? Becuase thats where i first saw a $r used to build a 20 letter random text values

I have no idea why it was added, only Khaled knows. The fact that it's shorter is probably the only reason for being added, and at the same time the reason for being depreciated. Since $r doesn't really indicate what the identifier does, in comparison with other built-in identifiers.

I looked in the full versions.txt, and the first mention of $r is:

24/10/95 - mIRC v3.72
24.Added $r(v1,v2) identifier, returns random number
or letter between v1 and v2.

The first mention of $rand is:

08/01/99 - mIRC v5.5
124.Fixed freeze bug in $rand().

It's very doubtful that Khaled will have read this thread, though perhaps if he does he can give us some more info

just wondered as I dont know of any other single letter identifiers, and this one would be something i could see used often in a $str

Yeah exactly, it is handy in $str, I've used it often, and we both used it in that Generating thread.
