Channel limits - mIRC Discussion Forums

can someone help me out on making an "on JOIN" command that when a user joins my channel that the channel limit will increase by 2? Thanks in advance

Like this?

Code:

on @*:JOIN:[color:green]#channelname[/color]:{
  mode # +l $calc($gettok($chan(#).mode,2,32) + 2)
}

That works Thanks Collective...

Do you want it so when someone joins a channel:

Code:

Users in chan  |  Chan Limit
 1             |   3
 2             |   4
 3             |   5
 4             |   6
 5             |   7
 6             |   8
 7             |   9
 8             |   10
 9             |   11
10             |   12
11             |   13
12             |   14

so the channel limit is the number of users + 2

or:

Code:

Users in chan  |  Old Limit   | When ONE person joins,
               |  would be    | New Channel Limit
 1             |   3          |  5
 2             |   4          |  7
 3             |   5          |  9
 4             |   6          |  11
 5             |   7          |  13
 6             |   8          |  15
 7             |   9          |  17
 8             |   10         |  19
 9             |   11         |  21
10             |   12         |  23
11             |   13         |  25
12             |   14         |  27

you see the difference?

if you want the second, then use what Collective said.

If you want the first one, where there is space for 2 more people to join (like an eggdrop bot), use:

mode # +l $calc($nick($chan,0) + 2)

Code:

on @*:JOIN:#ChannelName:{
  mode # +l $calc($nick($chan,0) + 2)
}

Immediate update of the channel limit, wouldn't be that effective. After all, channel limit is intended to reduce the number of flood bots that can join at once.

If you update it immediately as the first flood bot arrives, that will allow the other ones to join too. we want to keep them out.

I'd go for a timer, 3secs delayed, which will do the update.

Code:

On @*:join:#:{
   .timerlimit 1 3 mode # +l $calc($nick(#,0) + 3)
}

Thank guys for the quick responses i did get it to work thanks to collectives syntax. Whenever a person joins it changes the set channel limit by 2. I will see how this works for the time being. Again thank you all.
