weird on part problem - mIRC Discussion Forums

echo -a $nick(#, 0) echos 15

john leaves

on *:PART:#: echo -a $nick(#, 0)
still echos 15 (?? should be 14)

but when i do echo -a $nick(#, 0) manually, then it echos 14

I'd say give:

on *:PART:#: echo -a $calc($nick(#, 0) -1)

a shot.

or

Code:

on *:PART:#: timer 1 0 parted #
alias parted { echo -a $nick($1,0) }

$nick() isn't updated until after the on part event.

so is this a mirc bug?

No.

It's intended, not a bug.

hmm. this is kinda screwed cos its for a stats alias

im trying to show

total users
owners
hosts
participants

and when a user parts i can change total users by
$calc($nick(#, 0) - 1) as scorp said, but what if that user was a host or a owner or just participant, its messed up

Code:

on !*:part:#:{
  var %owners = $calc($nick($chan,0,q) $iif($nick isowner $chan,- 1)), $&amp;
    %ops = $calc($nick($chan,0,o) $iif($nick isop $chan,- 1)), $&amp;
    %voices = $calc($nick($chan,0,v) $iif($nick isvoice $chan,- 1)), $&amp;
    %regs = $calc($nick($chan,0,r) $iif($nick isreg $chan,- 1)), %all = $calc($nick($chan,0) - 1)
}

thanks ill play around with that!

I think your timer idea was ok, just fired too fast (you had 0)

on *:PART:#: timer 1 1 parted #

alias parted { echo -a $nick($1,0) }

you can try speeding that up with a millisecond timer

on *:PART:#: timer -m 1 500 parted #

yeah, 0 worked on the server i was testing it on

. But yeah milsec is best.

i just wanted to, with this on part problem

would on*quit have the same problem?

Try it.
