Forums Scripts & Popups Relay Bot Text Speed Limiting.

Greetings, i have a very simple relay bot that mirrors a chan across 3 networks.. i would like to know if it is possible to slow the text speed down because with over 100 users certain networks will kill the bot (excess flood)...

i would like to limit it to one line per half-second or 1 second.

im an very new to mirc scripting and would like to make this bot functional and successful

one thing you can do -- no guarantees on how wise it is -- is to have the bot write every line received to a txt file, and on the other end run a timer that reads/echos/deletes the first line in the same file every 600 msecs. A hidden custom window might also do the trick.

Not only would that slow the speed of text but it will slow your computer if you written everything to a file.

That's why I said "no guarantes how wise it is" and why I suggested the custom windows....

Yes, using a custom hidden window is what I do in a somewhat related situation. I would create 3 custom windows, one for each of the networks. Use them as FIFO buffers by using /aline to add all text from the associated network. Set a timer for each window to read line 1, output to the server, and then delete it from the window.

BTW, server flood control can be set to anything the server ops want, but I don't believe 1 line every 1 sec will work for you.
