Forums Scripts & Popups Help on grouping people.

I am making a game, which is nearly done. I've yet to add a function which allow turns and only people who had joined to play.

So i am wondering if making groups when someone types something like perhaps !join? Then start the game when the gamestarter says !startgame. If that is possible, may i know which section of mirc help i can look into?

Thanks for helping in advance.

/help ON TEXT. You may also find the sections on Tokens interesting.

Haha, thanks for helping. Will be trying out the commands. Thank you for helping again!

Another way of doing this is through the userlist, though, that is very uncomfortable to 'new' people. (I don't know how experienced you are.)

Check these commands: /auser, /guser, /ruser

I used hash tables for a similar type of thing, and also used tokens. So I had Player names, player numbers, scores, and other Info.

Try /help hash tables
&
/help token identifiers

Also, it took me a little while to work out how hash tables worked, I dont know how experianced you are with mIRC scripting. So you might find a different method is easier to use.

Yes, this is how all games I've done handle these things. It tends to work better and you can set up a custom identifier to pull the information you want from the hash table. Such as $score($nick) that will return something like $hget(Game,Nick.Score) or whatever.
