Is there.. - mIRC Discussion Forums

Is there a way to "grab" a nickname from the current channel? for an example:

-Bot Loaded-
--Scanning Nicknames--
<Bot> Aha, I see you, George!

Just to clear something up, because I have a weird feeling if I don't say this then you'll think this is what I mean.. I don't want it to read nicknames from a list, but from the current channel so it could be possibly anybody in the channel.

Code:

alias scan {
 var %i = $nick($1,0)
 while (%i) {
  var $+(%,nick,%i) = $nick($1,%i)
  dec %i
 }
 { other commands here }
}

I am not sure this is what you wanted, but i'll try it

This checks every nick in the channel and stores them in temp. variables.

Lest say John is the 5th nick in the nicklist, then John's nick would be stored in a temporary variable called %nick5
Later on the same script you can refer to John's nick as %nick5

The usage of the alias is /scan <#channel>

Hope this is what you wanted

Havent tested it yet, but i'll try it and as far as youve described it, its what im lookin for

Thanks

Cool

If you want to say 'Aha, I see you, <nick>" to any random nick from the channel, you could add this to the command parts:

Code:

msg $1 Aha, I see you, %nick $+ $rand(1,$nick($1,0))

And this would get a random nick and say that sentence.

Greetings,
Zyzzyx.

Try this

Code:

alias checknick {
  ; here u set your friends' name separated by space.
  var %x George Mike Peter
  var %z = 1
  while ($nick($1,%z)) {
    var %c $ifmatch
    if ($istok(%x,%c,32)) {
      var %friends = $addtok(%friends,%c,32)
    }
    inc %z
  }
  if (%friends) {
    msg # Aha I see you, $replace(%friends,$chr(44),$chr(44) $+ $chr(32)) $+ !!!
  }
  else {
    msg # Uh, I cant see you. Where are u gone?
  }
}

usage: /checknick #channel

EDIT: sry Zyzzyx26, i saw your post too late :tongue:

-
OTHER Unknown command
-

thats what i get when i try Zyzzyx's and for the other one im not sure thats what im lookin for

im on ver 6.15

Code:

alias scan {
 var %i = $nick($1,0)
 while (%i) {
  var $+(%,nick,%i) = $nick($1,%i)
  dec %i
 }
 msg $1 Aha, I see you, %nick $+ $rand(1,$nick($1,0))
}

Try this one

That 1st code i gave you was a general one. The Other commands here part was to you to change it to whatever you wanted to do.
This code here should do what you wish to

Zyzzy.

I think you forgot some parsing, unless you want to have the nick show as whatever happens to be in the global variable %nick appended with a random number

msg $1 Aha, I see you, %nick [ $+ [ $rand(1,$nick($1,0)) ] ]

There's other ways using $eval and $+(), this is my favorite though

That is very true, thanks
