Forums Scripts & Popups Multiserver identifiers

Was just wondering how I can turn a connection ID into a connection ID? Its easy enough to do the other way round after all

$scon(N).cid

$scon(N).cid is the same as $scon(N), ie returns the CID of the Nth Status. I believe the OP's looking for something like this:


$con(5) returns 3 if the CID of the 5th Status is 3.

Aha, I was hoping that there was some simple way to do it I had missed and that it wouldn't be needed to resort to something like that qwerty. As a matter of interest, can the cid of the Nth connection be <N? I thought that mirc assigned cid's as the connections were made, so first that connection id is always >= connection number - or will it reassign unused connection IDs? I think it probably wouldn't, or shouldn't at least, for obvious reasons.

You're right, it doesn't reassign unused IDs, so CID is always >= N

$findcid() is a handy tool if you are looking to do multi-server stuff.

@qwerty: that ought to be $gettok instead of $findtok

Actually the code is correct, it's the example I gave that's wrong:

$con(5) returns 3 if the CID of the 5th Status is 3.
should be
$con(5) returns 3 if the CID of the 3rd Status is 5.

Using $gettok() would make it equivalent to $scon(N), ie pointless

Ah lol, the example was the basis of my post
