join and topik - mIRC Discussion Forums

how to make that on join if i am op and if topic is empty to do / topic something...

coz i dont see $topic identifier :P

To get the currect topic, use $chan(#channame).topic

So:

Code:

on *:join:#yourchan: { if ($nick == $me) { .timer 1 5 set.topic $chan } }

alias set.topic {
  if ($me isop $1 &amp;&amp; !$chan($1).topic) {
    topic New topic
  }
}

Replace #yourchan and "New topic".

This hasn't been tested as I'm at work and can't connect right now, but I believe it will work.

The timer/alias combo gives you the delay for gaining ops. If you aren't gaining ops within 5 seconds of joining, adjust the timer.

Code:

on *:op:#[color:red]channel[/color]:{
  if ($opnick == $me) &amp;&amp; ($chan($chan).topic == $null) topic $chan [color:red]topic here[/color]
}

Heh. Didn't consider doing it with an on join.

Like I mentioned, I can't test right now... does !$chan(#channel).topic work (with the !), or do you need to use == $null instead?

if (!$chan($chan).topic) works, but it's possible to set a topic to 0 or $false, so if ($chan($chan).topic == $null) is a more thorough check.

Ah, okay. I didn't realize ! refers to 0 and $false as well as $null. I learn something new every day.

this works super, but with 1 flaw

i got this

"#channel my topic"

and i would preffer only

"my topic"

nvm i just removed $chan to gain what i wanted

thanks for help !

Code:

on *:op:[color:red]#channel[/color]:{
  if ($opnick == $me) &amp;&amp; ($chan($chan).topic == $null) topic [color:red]topic here[/color]
}

Replace the red.

Easy mistake since most commands require $chan.

That wasn't a mistake.

From /help /topic:

Quote:

/TOPIC #channel newtopic
Changes the topic for the channel.

example: /topic #friendly Oh what a beautiful day!

Does the default alias file have a topic alias with it? If so that might be why you didn't need to pass the #channel argument.
