For example !welcome powerade661 and then it says "welcome to stream powerade661" Please help Code: on *:TEXT:!welcome %cloud:#: { set %cloud = $nick msg $chan Welcome to the stream %cloud }

Changed "set" to "var" so it's not stored permanently. Changed "%cloud" to "%nick" because it's more descriptive instead of being a random word. "$2" means "the second word", which happens to be whatever follows "!welcome". Using two "$" for "$$2" means the script will halt (stop) if empty (not specified). Well. At least I won lunch. Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
