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

Timers are a bad way to handle nickserv auth because you never really know the correct delay. 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.

use /autojoin -dN for a delay or /autojoin -s to skip joining until a nickserv auth is complete then /autojoin -n to join all channels.

Are we talking about delaying the join command by a given number of seconds? Or are we talking about a slight delay before joining each individual channel?

/delayjoin <start-delay> <join-delay> #chan1 [pass][,#chan2 [pass],...]
<start-delay> is the number of seconds to wait before joining channels
<join-delay> is the number of seconds to wait between channel joins

Code:
alias delayjoin {
  if ($1 !isnum || $2 !isnum || (!$3) { echo /delayjoin: invalid parameters }
  else {
    var %delay = $1
    var %x = 1
    while (%x <= $numtok($3,44)) {
      .timer 1 %delay join $!eval( $gettok($3,%x,44) ,0)
      inc %delay $2
      inc %x
    }
  }
}

changed .timer $+ $ticks to .timer
added $!eval( and ,0)

You should not using $ticks as a timer name, two iterations of the loop could be done without $ticks changing.
Each timer executes one command here, you don't need to name them

Also note that mIRC will evaluate the command part of a timer.

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... smirk 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.

Fixed that smile Not sure why i would use ticks when mIRC will auto-name the timers if no name is specified :\

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
