I have the entire lottery script all written, I just need to script something up that will actually do the daily drawing. How do I perform such a task without needing an event to trigger (such as on TEXT)? Last edited by Joe_Dean; 27/10/08 03:58 AM.

Eg: Code: on me:*:join:#:{ $+(.timerdraw.,$network,.,$chan) 00:00 1 1 draw $chan } alias -l draw { unset %draw while $numtok(%draw,32) < 6 { set %draw $addtok(%draw,$r(1,49),32) } .msg $1 Daily 6/49 Drawing numbers are %draw $+(.timerdraw.,$network,.,$1) 00:00 1 1 draw $1 } I've seen your coding before, and you seem to be good enough to be able to understand what I've done here.

With the /hop command, you're looking at milliseconds to part and re-join the channel.
