add a delay to rejoin on connect #221609 25/05/10 04:15 PM

Dreadnought D	add a customizable delay (possibly random as well) to the rejoin channels on connect setting, to allow activation of various automated things (nickserv identification, mainly), and to prevent flooding for multiple, very large, channels

You're better off writing a script for that and joining when you receive the event; that's much more efficient and responsive. However, delayed join can be useful for people on large amounts of large channels, as this tends to flood them off. In that case, however, you can always use /timer in an ON CONNECT or perform tab (just not in favorites), so it's not really necessary.

Example: /join #$me vs /timer 1 1 join #$me Because #$somehting makes up a valid channel name you have to prevent this evaluation. If you don't, everything from nuisance to exploit is possible... You might use a $safe() alias to prevent that evaluation. Some time ago, I fiddled with a related request - maybe some parts are of use here as well, like the method to store the name of the channel-to-join not in the timer's command part but in its name.

bwuser B	I'm using this to have ability to skip auto[re]joining (put into Perform, All networks) Code: /if ($input(Autojoin channels?, k15vy, $$network) == $no) /autojoin -s \| /else /autojoin -n
