To enter type !enter to be in with a chance of winning, you have 3 minutes to enter timer 1 120 msg # There is one minute left of this giveaway so get your !enter's in, BIG THANKS AGAIN TO $upper(%newgasponsor) timer 1 180 msg # $read(giveawayenters.txt) has just won this giveaway for a copy of $read(tempga.txt) $+ , big thanks to %newgasponsor for sponsoring this giveaway } } on :text:!giveawaydraw:#:{ var %winner2 $read(giveawayenters.txt) msg # The new winner is $upper(%winner2), thank you $upper(%newgasponsor) for sponsoring this giveaway for $read(tempga.txt) $+ . } on :text:!enter:#: { if ($read(giveawayenters.txt, nw, $nick)) { echo -a $nick is already in giveawayenters.txt } else { /write giveawayenters.txt $nick echo -a $nick is now in giveawayenters.txt } } The problem is that sometimes it displays different things for the game, and it never shows the $read(giveawayenters.txt) from the line that says timer 1 180 This is an example of what it says: Quote: [18:39] <@alphakennyv2> !giveaway alphakennyv2 The Other Other Fake Game 01[18:39] <@thealphabot> A new giveaway has just been opened by alphakennyv2, donated by for a copy of The Other Other Fake Game. To enter type !enter to be in with a chance of winning, you have 3 minutes to enter [18:39] <@alphakennyv2> okay so the game name is now fixed [18:39] <@alphakennyv2> !enter [18:39] alphakennyv2 is now in giveawayenters.txt 01[18:41] <@thealphabot> There is one minute left of this giveaway so get your !enter's in, BIG THANKS AGAIN TO ALPHAKENNYV2 01[18:42] <@thealphabot> has just won this giveaway for a copy of Nothing cus this isnt a real giveaway, big thanks to alphakennyv2 for sponsoring this giveaway

EDIT: Or would I need an Alias to do this?? Last edited by AlphaKennyHuan; 12/01/14 03:10 PM.
