Forums Scripts & Popups play command

Could someone explain the /play command? I understand you create a text file, but where do you save the txt. file so that play works? And can the file be sent to a chatters private message or does it show in channel?

You place it where you want, then make shure to give the right path to the file:

/play C:\mirc\test.txt

or where you store it

you maybe also want to see

/help /play

You can save a text file in your mirc's directory, then type /play yourfile.txt and it will play the content of it in the main channel you're located. (I'm not certain if you can play a file through the private message.)

Alternatively, you can use your mirc popups (pressing ALT + P together) and place this little snippet in:

Then you can right click on your nicklist to trgger it. It will play a text file content located per your selection line by line with a 1000m delay. The channel popups will work as well if you choose to place the snippet there.

sorry for the repetition, but I am lost. I have a remote script that is a list with 24 items in it called bartender. I can make it work so that when the chatter types in !bartender, the list is sent to their pm. However, the only way I can do this is to put a timer on each line of the list, so basically they are getting 24 consequetive pms and if more than one chatter uses the command at a time, it floods out the bot. I thought play might be a better way to do this, but I can't seem to make play work. Does anyone have any suggestions? It needs to be something the chatter initiates and they need to receive the info via private message.

1) Move the items from the script to a text file, where each item is on a separate line.
2) Use a code similar to this:

This presumes that the items have been placed in a text file called bartender.txt and that the file is located in the mIRC installation directory.
