Forums Feature Suggestions Halfop

Now I know mIRC supports halfops just fine, but I would like to see ON HELP, and ON DEHELP renamed ON HALFOP, and ON DEHALFOP. I've yet to see a single server that refers to +h as 'helper', they all call it halfop. I wouldn't remove ON HELP/ON DEHELP, keep it for backwards compatibility, but I would add the ON HALFOP and ON DEHALFOP.

Yeah, same. HELP/DEHELP don't really catch your eye when you're skimming the help file for halfop info.

Yup I'm Agree with you guy
cos if my user ask "there is any help for halfop?"
sometime i can explain it

HalfOp Information:
When you see "%" (+h) in front of a nick name that means the person is an "helper" of the particular channel they are in, +h means he/she is HelpOp and he/she has privileges to kick and ban a person (except Ops), set the topic and so on.
Note: The HalfOp mode is not supported by all IRCd's (networks). You will have to check the network for it.

Also just looking over the helpfile, calling it 'help' makes it confusing. "This triggers when a user with access level 9 is opped/voiced/helped on any channel." When a user is helped? Does that mean that in a support channel, a user that is currently being helped should be set +h? Because thats the way it makes it sound...

In any case, Merlin where did you get that quote from?

+h is for the user who helps, not the person being helped

+h is not supported on Undernet, unless I missed it in the protocol it's not a standard mode either

I also think it should be "HalfOp".
Personally, i had no idea that helper = halfop

tom420:

So, we shouldn't use it cause it's not in some outdated RFC?
Many IRCds supports it, even the newest Hybrid (EFnet's IRCd).

/quote help cmode

cmode +h - 'Half-op'. This will allow a user to set all of the above
cmode modes, (and some more below..), whilst stopping the user
cmode from doing harm to the channel. Users who are +h CANNOT
cmode kick opped (+o) users, or set modes +h/-h/+o/-o.

ON *:HELP:*:{ .signal HALFOP $chan $nick $hnick }
ON *:DEHELP:*:{ .signal DEHALFOP $chan $nick $hnick }
ON *:SIGNAL:HALFOP:{ ...script... }
ON *:SIGNAL:DEHALFOP:{ ...script... }

Problem solved.

to show your server is compatible +h or not just
/version and you'll see much spesifikation of that server

Or use $prefix

yup
that's right monosex
//echo -a $prefix

yea but if you say $hnick is the user being helped... That sentence literally means it is a user who is being helped out. If you know $hnick is for +h then you're fine, but if you don't it can be confusing.
