Forums Scripts & Popups Random Number Problem

Ok, first up i made a random number generator script for a game i`m making
This is the first part before i code anymore, and it`s not working, it works for me and no one else.

The Code


I added this to my remotes section on my bot who uses V6.03
(for compatabilty until KTools.dll is updated)

I myself ShadowDemon uses V6.1 of mIRC and everytime i type
!rand

My bot gives the message above followed by my random number

[23:54] <@ShadowDemon> !rand
[23:54] <@MyBot> ShadowDemon Your number is 61
[23:55] <Test> !rand
[23:57] <@ShadowDemon> !rand
[23:57] <@MyBot> ShadowDemon Your number is 74
[23:57] <@Test> !rand

Ok the problem i`m having is that when i ask my friends to type the same line
!rand, they get nothing, i have asked different people with differing versions of mIRC
from V6.0 right upto V6.1 with V6.01 and V6.03 in the middle and they all get nothing.
The problem lines in the above example are shown in Blue

Could somebody please look at this code for me and tell me whats wrong with it, as i
cant see anything wrong ?

I checked for any other on text scripts running and even disabled then incase they
were interfering at all.
(I built my bot up and it does have on text scripts but i unloaded them)

No flood controls are enabled as i was using my test server (Private)

Thanks ShadowDemon
mIRC V6.1

Not that it would make a difference, but you are missing a colon after your channel name (:). Also, make sure their name or mask doesnt match one perhaps on the ignore list. The bot might be ignoring the user, and not listening to text said by that person.

Thanks for pointing out the : for me KT

Umm no one is on my ignore list and i just retested that code with the Colon in, nope it still not giving a random number
to my friend

ShadowDemon

and what about on 1:TEXT: .......

* would cover level 1, as well as named levels. Thats what i first thought--maybe they are at a named level, and the command looks for numerics.. but nope..

Hmm, retested this code again today, no luck at all

Thanks to all who looked at the code and KT for pointing out the missing colon : even tho it made no difference

Yeah i do realise the * would cover all levels thats why i put it in, so anybody could type !rand

ShadowDemon

Are your friends using ctrl codes or something? If so, ask them to type "/!say !rand", see if it works then.
Anyway, it would be better if you used....or maybe the new regex feature, if you're using mIRC 6.1:

In addition to cold's post, if you are using mIRC 6.1 you might try using

This way control codes and leading/trailing spaces are ignored.

This way control codes and leading/trailing spaces are ignored.

Oops, yeah, I forgot these. Sorry, shadowdemon.

Thanks for that suggestion Cold & StarBucks

I tried !say !rand and my friends still dont get the random number

The bot MUST be running V6.03 of mIRC or the script i made with the docked dialog (using MDX and KTools.dll) doesnt work with V6.1 (waiting for a fix).

So i tried your first code and changed my original code and still doesnt work, tried quitting mirc and leaving my friend in with the bot still nothing, i have looked in the options of my mirc`s and remotely Via XP of my firends options, still cant find what the problem is, this is way to weird.

Thanks tho, might have to go rethink my random number game i was planning on making.

*** An Update ***

Just to let you all know i finally got the script working
Having checked all options across the various mIRC versions, i checked my bot, somehow
and i dont know why it just started working, my friend who was having the problem the most
can now get his random number.

Unsure to why or how it just started working, so i guess i'll be trying to finish off teh script.

Thanks to all who tried to help, good job
