startup load - mIRC Discussion Forums

Hi guys,

How would I make a dialog open once from statup, as its an introduction dialog, It only needs to run once, then after that I dont need it loading up?

Code:

 on 1:START: { /dialog -m controlpanel controlpanel }

What else do i need to add?

how do you detect the first start up of mIRC? var?

on 1:LOAD:{ would run the first time the script is loaded, and only once.

Quote:

on START event uses the same format as on Load, and triggers the first time a script is loaded and every time after that when mIRC is run.

if you want to detect if a user is runing an mirc-script for the first time on startup see below:

Code:

  
on 1:start:{ 
  inc %startup 
  if (%startup == 1) { dialog -m somedialog somedialog }
}

this is offtopic...sorry

tso29's post was spot on.
