Whats wrong with that? Why wont it work.

why not just use $nick ison $chan ?

Alright. Ill try that. Im not sure if itll work for what im trying.

Are you sure %nick is being set to what you are expecting? Try adding this debug line:

/echo -s nick: %nick

Assuming the variable is being set correctly (ie to a nickname who is on the channel where the text is received), the code should work as it is written.

echo is your best friend when scripting !!!

ok. thanks. ill try both when i can.

R4nk3d is a scripting noob. :P

We run a gaming server. Basically everything that is said from inside the game is echoed into an IRC channel. The ingame players aren't actually in the channel - there's one bot that echos everything, e.g.:



The %nick var is used to extract the actual name from the (*) (this is the players ID ingame). We don't want to include their ID's, so the %nick var gets everything until it hits the first occurrence of '(', then stops there.

Now, if %nick is also inside the IRC channel and not just ingame, I want the script to allow use of the script by this user.

-----------------------------------

So if a player ingame types !blah, the script must check to see if that name is also in the IRC channel (by using: if (%nick ison $chan) {

This isn't added into the script that R4nk3d linked, but the plan is to restrict the use of the script to voiced users. So:



But that's just the next step of the script - I need to know first how to use vars in an IF statement.

Here's a small script I made to autoban when a player ingame advertises an IP & Port. Perhaps it'll give you an idea of how I make the scripts interact with users inside the gaming server.

Basically does this:


Basically, Kim_Annabeth advertises an IP ingame. Then, Naed (the IRC bot I'm scripting) warns the player then bans them.

!say is just a command to echo stuff from IRC into the game
!ban is an IRC command that OPs use to ban players ingame via IRC.

Where it says ***(ADMIN BAN)*** is what happens in the server; it shows the player being banned ingame.

Try this instead:

var %nick = $gettok($1,1,40)

By what you are describing, you will need to store the names of the users who are in both locations, and then use that to allow them access to the script commands.

That does nothing, -at all-.

I'm not the best with scripting either, I'm still in my learning stages. Could you explain what that does, exactly? The help file confuses me. :P

If this helps: the ID from the players name needs to be extracted from the actual name. If I were to just use $1 (look above, this is the playername followed by the ID (*) e.g. Kim_Annabeth(4), this would return the entire name & ID, Kim_Annabeth(4). And obviously that name isn't going to be in the IRC channel, however Kim_Annabeth would be.

I can't take away the IDs - it's a part of the gaming server, so the (*) MUST be extracted for this script to work.

This:

var %nick = $gettok($1,1,40)

is a replacement for this:

var %nick $mid($1,1,$calc($pos($1,$chr(40),1) - 1))

nothing more.

-genius_at_work

Yeah, sorry, it didn't work before simply because I had a mistake in the script (not pertaining to the $gettok).

Anyways, this works, sorta. It doesn't work properly, and I can't figure out what is going on.



So basically:

- If I'm inside the gaming server and I type "!blahtest", the bot says no (no meaning, not in the channel).
- If I'm in the IRC channel and type "!blahtest", the bot says no.
- HOWEVER, if I'm in the IRC channel and echo "!blahtest" into the gaming server, the bot says yes AND no.

I don't understand...

Ohh, could it be because when I say something inside the gaming server, my name has a number at the end (Joe_Dean(0)), but if I'm echoing into the gaming server via the IRC channel, my name has letters at the end (Joe_Dean(IRC)) ?

*bump*

*sigh*

*bump again*

OK let's clarify what you want:

You want a mIRC script that will respond to a peice of text with the format "somenick(id) - !blahtest" and check if that user (minus the (id) portion) is on the current IRC channel?



That should work. If it doesn't then either there's another script interfering or there's something else going on you haven't mentioned.

The green text is me.

EDIT: Notice I am in the channel.

ROFL, I'm such a noob. XD



My name in the gaming server is in bold and my name on IRC isn't. :P
