Why doesn't this work correctly? - mIRC Discussion Forums

Code:

...elseif ($read(C...>)) {
      if (($readini(topicsettings.ini,topic,$chan)) == 0) {
        /msg # ...
      }
      elseif (($readini(topicsettings.ini,topic,$chan)) == 1) {
        /topic # $1-
      }
      elseif (($readini(topicsettings.ini,topic,$chan)) == 2) {
        /msg # ...
      }
    }...

What I am trying to do, is have a topic script, with 2 possible settings.
A basic topic - 1
And a topic with !topic, !status, !static, - 2
And 0 means that they haven't chosen what kind they want yet.

The problem I am having, is when you type !topic test, it says: "== Unknown command".

I am not sure how I am supposed to say "If #channel has a number 1, do this command. If it has a number 2, do this one." The help file doesn't answer this question. Can .ini's not be used for this?

Thank you for any help.

You've got extra brackets in your if statements.

Code:


...elseif ($read(C...>)) {
      if ($readini(topicsettings.ini,topic,$chan) == 0) {
        /msg # ...
      }
      elseif ($readini(topicsettings.ini,topic,$chan) == 1) {
        /topic # $1-
      }
      elseif ($readini(topicsettings.ini,topic,$chan) == 2) {
        /msg # ...
      }
    }...

try using this:

Code:

...elseif ($read(C...>)) {
      if ($readini(topicsettings.ini,topic,$chan) == 0) {
        /msg # ...
      }
      elseif ($readini(topicsettings.ini,topic,$chan) == 1) {
        /topic # $1-
      }
      elseif ($readini(topicsettings.ini,topic,$chan) == 2) {
        /msg # ...
      }
    }...

I thought I did.
