Time announcer - mIRC Discussion Forums

How do I make a time announcer that says the time when the hour changes?

Like this:
When it's 16:00, it says to a certain chan:

It is now: 16:00

then, at 17:00

It is now: 17:00

and every day doing that... any ideas?

Edit: Use Hixxy's code.

Code:

alias nexthour { return $iif($time(HH) == 23,00,$calc($v1 + 1)) $+ :00 }
alias dotime { 
  msg #yourchannel It is now: $time(HH:nn)
  .timertime 1 3600 dotime
}
on *:join:#yourchannel:{ .timertime $nexthour 1 1 dotime }

You guys should probably use the -o switch in your timers because otherwise the script will stop running when he gets accidentally disconnected.

That's the idea.. if he does get disconnected then he might not be back online to msg the channel. It makes sense to let it stop, especially as mine restarts the timer when he joins the channel.

Probably a great time to use me:*:join:

Code:

alias dotime if $me ison $1 { msg $1 It is now: $time(HH:nn) | .timertime 1 3600 dotime $1 }
on me:*:join:#yourchannel:{ .timertime $+($calc(($time(HH) +1) % 24),:00) 1 0 dotime # }

thanks, it worked
