I would like a command for each position and the city, but im not sure how to get the topic to keep the previous names :s it would be great to get a command that clears it all out when im done too if at all possible.

These are the only things in the topic? There are many caveats which could affect this implementation. The following will replace the text after the given tag, if the tag is not in the topic it will append it.

Code:

on *:text:!leader *:#:topic # $$game.topic(LE,$2-)
on *:text:!ee *:#:topic # $$game.topic(EE,$2-)
on *:text:!we1 *:#:topic # $$game.topic(WE1,$2-)
on *:text:!clear:#:.raw topic # :

alias game.topic {
  var %tag = $1, %value = $2-, %topic = $chan(#).topic
  var %regex = /(?<= $+ %tag $+ : )(?:.+?(?= \S+:)|.+$)/i
  if ($regex(%topic,%regex)) {
    return $regsubex(%topic,%regex,%value)
  }
  else return %topic %tag $+ : %value
}

You can use $chr(124) to provide the literal \| in your topic. If you'd like more help, please be specific, include existing code, and make sure the formatting you provide as an example actually is what you want/in use. Timers can be used to run arbitrary commands, and so using a timer without first sanitizing the input can compromise your system. Since the timer you're using only has a 10ms delay, I would suggest not using the timer at all. Last edited by Loki12583; 26/06/12 08:34 PM.
