Forums mIRC Help need some expert help please

OK problem fixed


I am relatively new to mIRC scripting and want to develop my own bot. I deleted some code to make it shorter full script here: http://hawkee.com/snippet/5434/. Could not find an answer there.
I have loaded it and set it up with my details. On loading the script it saves the variables correctly. But when I exit and come back in and check script editor, select variables then the are gone again, and I must unload and reload the script toe set them again. I am posting the script as I got it there are a lot of remarks in there as well but the problem might be in there some where. I have tried mIRC 6.35 and 7.36

I'm no expert, but one doesn't have to be an expert to know that those variables are local and not global :P

to create global variables do this:

set %VariableName Value

No, they're global.

problem fixed thank you

My bad. So I guess %var = value is identical to set %var value

Though now I wonder if OP's own (deleted) code had var %var = value in it or not :\

The "%var = value" syntax is indeed the same as "set %var value", you can see that using $eval:
However, /var declares a local variable but /set will only change the value of the variable, it won't make it global:
/set only makes a variable global if it's not already declared as a local variable.
