Forums Scripts & Popups message queue/delay ?

Hi all,

in my popups.ini for mirc i have

n3=Message:/msg $$* $$?="Message to send?"

under [lpopup]

so this way, i can highlight like 5 peoples names on MIRC, in the user list, and then right click, click Message and then say "hi" - and it'll send hi to all 5 people.

but the problem is, when you're on irc servers where the irc server you are logged onto, has strict limits with how many people you can msg, within a certain time.. And if you send a message to too many people within x number of seconds you get disconnected instantly with excess flood

So I was wondering if it was possible to do the following:

How could i set it up so if i highlight 10 peoples names and right click, click message and type "hi" it'll group like 2 people at a time
so it'll message the first 2 people, say hi then wait 60 seconds
then send the same msg to the next 2 people until it gets to 10

So queued up basically, even in the backround or whatever, using /.msg or whatever it is, shrug i don't know

So highlight a bunch of names, and then right click and click Message and type in hi , it'll send "hi" to the first 2, wait 60 seconds
send hi to the next 2
wait 60 secs
send hi to the next 2
until its done

Does anyone know what the code would be? I don't know what I would put. Somebody told me something about i'd need to setup a queue for the nicks to go into, add them to a list, and then have a timer go through the list

if anyone could be nice enough to tell me what the code would be, i would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Here's an alias

Usage: /msg.snicks <text>

alias msg.snicks {
var %snicks = $snicks,%i = 0
while ((%snicks != $null) && ($1 != $null)) {
var %nicks = $gettok(%snicks,1-2,44),%snicks = $deltok(%snicks,1-2,44)
.timer 1 %i msg %nicks $1-
inc %i 60
}
}

Is that a spam script???

NO. It's not. Let's not jump to silly conclusions.

Thank you to mIRCManiac who wrote the alias
