on TEXT scripting help - mIRC Discussion Forums

hey, i was wondering if there was a way for

1. putting a delay in to where there is like say a 5 secind wait before it sends the message. like

Code:

on 1:TEXT:*command*:#: {
  <delay goes here>
  /msg $chan <message>
}

and

2. on the text comand, if there was a for me to be able to change nick but the command still work when you type the nick in the command.. like

Code:

on 1:TEXT:*hi <nick>*:#: {
  /msg $chan <message>
}

any help would be great.. been racking my brain for a week on this and cant seem to figure it out.

1) Look at the /timer command.

2)

Code:

ON *:TEXT:$(* $+ hi $me $+ *):#: {
  msg # Hi $nick! :)
}

This will work when someone says 'Hi <yournickname>'.

This method is documented under /help $(...) from memory.

(Edit: fixed missing } and added the '...' to the help item name)

how would i get him to do a describe?

Change "msg" to "describe"

Code:

  describe # <message>

tried that and it didnt work

ok i was trying to something it didnt like.. it does work.. im trying to get it to where like if you say get <someones name> <bot nick> then the bot will respond with some message.

Hmmm, something lie this?

Code:

on *:text:$(get & $me):#:{
  if $2 ison # { describe # pokes $2 }
}

no that didnt work

sorry it did work

so how do i get a delay in between the trigger and the message?

use timer
/help /timer

that isnt what i was lookin for.

then you're going to have to clarify what it is you're wanting, as /timer is the only command in mIRC that matches your request so far. Here's the code that you have said works, but altered to include a 5 second delay

Code:

on *:text:$(get & $me):#:{
  if $2 ison # { .timer 1 5 describe !$chan pokes !$2 }
}

that was what i was looking for.. thanks
