random msg and describe - mIRC Discussion Forums

mIRC Homepage

Is there a way for me to do a $read(file.txt) and have the random outputs be both /msg and have some of them /describe. So that it randomly picks a describe or msg.

Thanks

Usage: /output

alias output $iif($r(0,1),msg,describe) # $$read(file.txt)

im a n00b :tongue: Could you write out a quick example script of how to use /output

Thanks

Would that make it randomly do a describe or msg? Cause what i want is for certain ones to be msg, and certain ones describe.

Thanks

Well,

all you specified was random, so I can't do more than that, unless you specify under what conditions you want the alias to do a msg, and what conditions to do a describe.

Right now there's a 50% chance with every call of /output that it will be msg and 50% that it will be describe.

Example? You just paste that alias into your remote, you change file.txt to whatever file you want it to be which is located in your main mirc folder, and then on a channel you type: /output

That's it.

If i divide the the file into 2 parts, is there a way to have the ones under [msg] to /msg and the ones under [desc] to /describe; but for the script to use both of them randomly.

file.txt
-----------------------------------
[msg]
hi
hello

[desc]
waves
-----------------------------------

So when someone says hi, i will sometimes /msg hi, or hello and sometimes /describe waves

Thanks

if u broke it into two files it would be easy (maybe it is the other way as well I cant think of it tho)

alias output $iif($r(0,1),msg # $$read(filemsg.txt),describe # $$read(filedesc.txt))

no [msg] or [desc] headers needed tho.

Thanks for all your help. Works great

Just something I whipped up, nothing special. It stores your /msg 's and /describe's in 2 seperate boxes. It is untested so come back if it doesn't help as planned.

/rand a is to message the target window with a random item from the hash table

/rand b is to send a describe to the target window with a random item from the hash table.

Hope it's this helps.

Code:

menu channel {
  $iif($dialog(rand),$style(7)) Msg/Describe: { dialog -dm rand rand }
}

    rand $r(a,b)
}

  hmake describe 1000
  if ($isfile(msg.hsh)) {   
    hload -o message msg.hsh 
  }
  if ($isfile(desc.hsh)) {   
    hload -o describe desc.hsh 
  }

wow, Thats nice. Thanks. Ill give it a try

You're welcome.
