I'm trying to make my bot change the topicmask and then the topic on a certain command from an "announcement mode" to a "event date mode". Problem is... Nothing about it works. I tried adding echoes to it, not 1 single echo showed up, even 1 at the very beginning of the script. I am truly lost. Every other script from the bot that I make, using the same general form works, except this. I checked to make sure the file was loaded by adding another simple command to the file, and that worked. The code is below:

Code:

on 1000:text:*datetopic*:#:{
  if ($1 == %c $+ datetopic) {
    if (%topicmode == date) {
      .msg chanserv #PD-Reunion topic $readini ini\pd.ini reunion date
      .msg $nick Topic updated to date: $readini ini\pd.ini reunion date
    }
    else {
      .msg chanserv #PD-Reunion set enftopic 499
      .msg chanserv #PD-Reunion set topicmask 0,2Welcome to the official Planet Descent Reunion Games Channel! | http://www.planetdescent.com/ | The next games are at: *
      .msg chanserv #PD-Reunion set enftopic 501
      .msg chanserv #PD-Reunion topic $readini ini\pd.ini reunion date
      set %topicmode date
      .msg $nick Topic changed to display date: $readini ini\pd.ini reunion date
    }
  else { halt }
  }
}

on 1000:text:*announcetopic*:#:{
  if ($1 == %c $+ datetopic) {
    if (%topicmode == announce) {
      .msg chanserv #PD-Reunion topic $readini ini\pd.ini reunion announcement
      .msg $nick Topic updated to display date: $readini ini\pd.ini reunion announcement
    }
    else {
      .msg chanserv #PD-Reunion set enftopic 499
      .msg chanserv #PD-Reunion set topicmask 0,2Welcome to the official Planet Descent Reunion Games Channel! | http://www.planetdescent.com/ | News: *

      .msg $nick Topic updated to display date: $readini ini\pd.ini reunion announcement
    }
  else { halt }
  }
}

I assume you have multiple of these on text scripts in one file... mIRC will only execute the first matching event of a file, so if you have multiple ON TEXT's, only the first one will work. Also I assume you use ON 1000 for the other working events...yes? - argv[0] on EFnet #mIRC - "Life is a pointer to an integer without a cast"

As I said, only the first matching event in a file will be used. To be perfectly safe, move the event to a separate file or merge the events into one. - argv[0] on EFnet #mIRC - "Life is a pointer to an integer without a cast"

If you have two events definitions that are mutually exclusive then they will both trigger when expected, but if you have two event definitions that can both match a single line of text then only the first one will trigger. A clear example of this is: Code: on :TEXT:::echo -a This event will trigger for all messages on :TEXT:anything:*:echo -a This event will never trigger at all

You may not believe this applies to your case but you should still rule it out by moving the event to another file and seeing if it behaves as expected.
