Forums Scripts & Popups Auto-respond Script: how to stop flooding

Hey. I wrote this code the other day:



Which has been really working out for my mIRC bot so far.

The thing is, people tend to abuse it (duh) typing the word hello like 25 times in a minute, thus forcing my bot to flood and my computer to lag.

What I need is some sort of $if parameter or something, which would halt this code for like 5 minutes, when somebody repeats himself 3 times in a row.

Like if somebody types 4 times in a row the word "hello", I would like my bot to respond to just the first three, and then setting off the script or just stop responding for 5 minutes or so.

It's got to be simple, but I'm really amateur in mIRC scripting.

Thanks in advance!

Putting this at the top of your event will allow it to be run 3 times per minute:

Thanks for the answer, but I don't get it. As I said I'm kind of an amateur in mIRC scripting.
Where exactly do I have to write the code you gave me?

Could you please give me the full code with your adjustment cause I'm a real noob :P

It totally worked! You're a genius thanks
