The problem I have is that it will do it even if someone types the trigger, say, 10 times in rapid succession. Which, of ocurse, will get me killed for flooding. Is there a simple flood protection that could be implemented to prevent such a thing? Thank you. Code: on :TEXT:!trigger:: /msg $chan $read(textfile.txt)

This is assured, because the code to relay this line, only triggers if !%wait { } %talk is set to 5, so that the bot won't message "Please wait x seconds..." more than once, within 5 seconds. This is assured, because this message is only posted when %talk exists. After posting the message, %talk is unset, thus this message won't occur anymore. In conclusion, %wait is there so that the script doesn't flood with a line from the text file. %talk is there so that the script doesn't flood with the message "Please wait x seconds.." Greets Gone.
