on connect not working properly :( - mIRC Discussion Forums

This is what I have:

Code:

on *:CONNECT:if $network == Windfyre { /j #zfgc | /j #zelda | /j #gaming | /j #insane }
on *:CONNECT:if $network == Scoutlink { /j #dutch | /j english }
on *:CONNECT:if $network == umbranet { /j #withintemptation }

The problem is, the on connect only works when I'm connecting to Windfyre, it doesn't work with any of the other networks... Can anybody tell me how to fix this?

That's because only the first event is ever reached.

Group them into one single event, and use if conditions.

An example:

Code:

on *:connect:{
  if ($network == blah) join #chan1,#chan2
  elseif ($network == bleh) join #woot1,#woot2
  elseif ($network == ...) ...
}

Note, I'm joining multiple channels in one command. This is possible on a lot of networks, but some may not support this at all. If the specific networks don't support it, then use your approach with pipes like: join #chan | join #anotherchan etc.

silly me...

Thanks a lot

It didn't work..

When I joined a network, it joined all the channels that were on all the if- and else-if lines.

Anybody know how to fix that?

on *:connect:{
if ($network == blah) { join #chan1,#chan2 }
elseif ($network == bleh) { join #woot1,#woot2 }
elseif ($network == ...) { ... }
}

:P

That's impossible.

My guess is you did not copy the code correctly to your scripts editor. The forums sometimes have a bug where they'll put all code on a line when copying. To help it, you can first paste to wordpad, and then to the editor, or click "Quote" from my post, and copy it from that window.

@razor: that will do exactly what my code did, no difference, braces or not.

Actually, I copied the whole thing again and it didn't work...then I tried razor's suggestion; and adding those brackets did work..

Wrong.

Those braces have nothing to do with it. Btw ( ) are brackets, { } are braces.

You must have miscopied it, no doubt. Note that razor did not use the code tags, which means if you copy his code, it will be pasted correctly in all occasions. However as stated, when copying code from within code tags, like mine, there's almost a 100% chance, when pasting it doesnt come out right.

Code:

on *:connect:{
  if (dijitalgods isin $server) { .raw join #blah | halt }
  if (vidgamechat isin $server) { .raw join #blah,#blah | halt }
  if (chatshack isin $server) {  .raw join #blah,#blah,#blah | halt }
}

that works for me

Do not use isin:

Code:

on *:CONNECT:{

if ($network == Windfyre) { /j #zfgc | /j #zelda | /j #gaming | /j #insane }

elseif ($network == Scoutlink) { /j #dutch | /j #english }

elseif ($network == umbranet) { /j #withintemptation }

}

Some of the networks i go on, don't have a network name configured properly, so that's why i use inin $server

Ok then.. but I don't understand how the networks names are changed everytime, but whatever.

^ My network has 2 network names because one of the net-admins are very stubborn and he refuses to change his network (personally I think he forgot how, and is to proud to ask for help, but his choice).

I have also been on servers very badly run and each server was the same network, but they numbered the networks. {ex. Server.1.com <Johnny> | Server.2.com <Johnny1> | Server.3.com <Johnny2> (Where the stuff in < > 's is the network name)}
