Forums Scripts & Popups Coding Question 2

If you typed

/hitxt Hello Runedude

It would say in the active channel (R stands for Random Letter)

<TomM>RHReRlRlRoRRrRuRnReRdRuRdRe
<TomM>R[H]R[e]R[l]R[l]R[o]RR[r]R[u]R[u]R[n]R[e]R[d]R[u]R[d]R[e]R

Everything in the []'s is bolded.

How would you make that?

[lameness] Please reconsider [/lameness]

I wouldn't use this alias myself, but here goes...

• alias hitxt {
  var %i = 1, %l = $len($1-), %r = $r(a,z)
  while %i <= %l {
  var %r = $+(%r,$iif($mid($1-,%i,1) != $chr(32),$+([,$chr(2),$ifmatch,$chr(2),])),$r(a,z))
  inc %i
  }
  say %r
  }

Excuse me? If TomM likes to talk in a million colours/bolds what is your problem exactly? What you call "lame" is an innocent script that enhances TomM's and his friends' IRC experience without causing any trouble (it won't flood or otherwise abuse the server for example). If they do it in your channel, you (as well as any other op that doesn't like these things in their channel) can ban them for eternity, but in these boards you shouldn't have anything to do with it and should refrain from comments of the type "please reconsider".

I dont see where that comes into play.

I myself like to talk in a 'funky' talk, but not 'leet'. I saw the effect used for a bot when you said 'brb' it replaced it with [B]e [R]ight [B]ack and it gave me this idea. Hell, if I do it in your channel, you can ban me for 2 hours. I dont care what you do, it's copmletely my choice if I choose to use the script or not.
