Forums Scripts & Popups Removing the trigger from: on 1:text:`register:#:

Hello.
I have been working on a bot and I found out how tiring it can be to change the ` in all of the scripts in the bot (there is a lot) and so I was wondering if there was a way I can like do this
on 1:text:%tregister:#:
%t = `
instead of changing the trigger for everysingle command, that would make it much easyier.
Any other way works as well, any ideas
~Thanks for reading/replying

If you're changing the trigger command from ` to something else (eg: !), then use the Find Text button in the mIRC Script Editor. It has Find & Replace option, as well as being able to search through all of the loaded scripts.

Yea, I know about that, but if I replace all the ` to ! il will not only change the trigger but every phrase that has a ` in it it will.
I've used this before and havent been satisfied with it though.

on 1:text:$(%t $+ register):#:

Thanks Hrung. I dont have the time right now, but tomorrow morning I'll give it a try.

Just as a note, you can replace text with a better search.

Don't search for `, but search for :text:`. Then, you just run the search on the various event types (text, input, etc) that you use.

What Hrung gave me worked perfectly.Thanks.
So, I tried changing it a bit. I made it:

on *:TEXT:$($stats($nick,Digital,Trigger) $+ stats):#: {

And it doesnt, work. Any ideas on how I can fix it?. the $stats works fine, i use it in other corners of the bot.

Using $() to combine things requires a comma, not a $+

Assuming your $stats thing returns a value, you can use:

on *:TEXT:$($stats($nick,Digital,Trigger),stats):#: {

If the $stats returned Test, then the trigger would be Teststats. Sometimes it's best to also have a period to separate the combined information so it looks better.

on *:TEXT:$($stats($nick,Digital,Trigger),.stats):#: {

This would result in Test.stats if $stats returned Test.

I tried:
on *:TEXT:$($stats($nick,Digital,Trigger),stats):#: {

it doesnt work and same for the other command.
the $stats($nick,Digital,Trigger) returns the value "!"

Oops... heh. It should be $+($stats($nick,Digital,Trigger),stats)

forgot the +.

you need to look at the alias for $stats then, my guess is the ! is the normal result for trigger

He wants that.

He wants to be able to just change the trigger character in his file and call it good. So, he could change one file from using ! to using ~ to using + to anything else and it would switch all his triggers appropriately.

Sorry Riamus2 but that didnt work either.
I made a new alias:
trigger {
var %t = $nick
return $stats(%t,Digital,Trigger)
}
maybe I can use the $trigger instead of the $stats in there.

and here is the alias for $stats
stats {
return $readini(Members\ $+ $1 $+ .DGT,$2,$3)
}

I dont think so.

//echo -a $($me,.stats)
DaveC .stats
//echo -a $($+($me,.stats))
DaveC.stats

In the on text usage the $() simple encapsulates the matchtext, you still need to join the parts correctly.

In normal use it gets used to as the short hand command of $eval, oddly $( and $eval take as many parameters as you like, the first is evaluated the number of times of the last one assuming the last one is a number.

//echo -a $($me,$me)
DaveC DaveC
//echo -a $($me,$me,0)
$me DaveC
//echo -a $($me,$me,1+)
DaveC DaveC

Heh Sorry DaveC but I dont really understand ya .
I tried a lot of other stuff including asking in scripting channels on irc and appearently nobody can explain lol .

I guess, everyone's out ot ideas

My reply wasnt to you it was about something someone else said.

Any way, ill read the following....


Alright, let me getr this straight, the code has soemthing like
on *:TEXT:!register:#:{ ..... }
on *:TEXT:!quote:#:{ ..... }
on *:TEXT:!blah *:#:{ ..... }

and you would like to change it to
on *:TEXT:`register:#:{ ..... }
on *:TEXT:`quote:#:{ ..... }
on *:TEXT:`blah *:#:{ ..... }

but later you mighty wanty to change to something else again like
on *:TEXT:@register:#:{ ..... }
on *:TEXT:@quote:#:{ ..... }
on *:TEXT:@blah *:#:{ ..... }

if this is the case, then change it once to this
alias trigger.prefix return @
on *:TEXT:$($+($trigger.prefix,register)):#:{ ..... }
on *:TEXT:$($+($trigger.prefix,quote)):#:{ ..... }
on *:TEXT:$($+($trigger.prefix,blah *)):#:{ ..... }

this well mena you simple change
alias trigger.prefix return @
to
alias trigger.prefix return !
or
alias trigger.prefix return `
etc

PS: if all the triggers are in the same file then use
alias -l trigger.prefix return `
^ placing that in the same file of course!

this well allow only that file to access that trigger prefix, aka you can use another one in another file.

Thanks DaveC, but it didnt quiet workout.
So I ended up using this
on *:TEXT:*stats*:#::{ if ($1 == $+($stats($nick,digital,trigger),stats)) {

Lol, big but yea works thanks for helping again guys.

DaveC ... I was responding to how he had it written...

He had basically: $(item1 $+ item2) which is why I said he needed a comman instead. I noted on the following post I did that I forgot to include the + in the beginning.

Just as a question... Is there a difference between:

$+(item1,.item2)

and

$($+(item1,.item2))

You are saying to use the second one, but doesn't the first do the same thing?
