onjoin bartender script II - mIRC Discussion Forums

I have this script it works great:

Code:

on *:join:#MyChannel: {
  if ($nick != $me) { describe $chan offer $nick $+ ! a $read(Drinks.txt) & toasts #MyChannel IRC network! }
}

I like to make it also where a person can order a drink with:

!order or !Order

and it'll serve them a drink

Code:

on !*:join:#MyChannel:describe # offers $nick $+ ! a $read(Drinks.txt) & toasts # IRC network!
on $1:text:/!order/iS:#MyChannel:describe # serves $nick $+ ! a $read(Drinks.txt) & toasts # IRC network!

I'm curious why you'd use a regular expression, Tomao. I don't see any reason why that would be more efficient or useful. Maybe it is? Just wondering.

And, pauls... why do you want a ! after the nick?

bot offers nick! a mai tai... and so on. Probably would be better without it, but that's up to you of course.

If you see the scuipt with topic of "onjoin bartender script" you'll see why the "!" is used, thought it was apart of the command.

$nick $+ ! just adds the ! to the $nick. You can remove $+ ! and you'll have the sentence without the ! in the middle. I put it there in my original script to you because of how I worded it. Since you changed the wording, you can change the punctuation as well.

Well, I used for stripping the control codes, hence the /S flag. Yes, I could've used the simple text event, but that'd mean an additional if statement with the $strip() identifier. I simply found it convenient is all.

Actually it just hit me that I could have done it like this:

Code:

on 1:TEXT:$( $+ $strip(!order) $+ ):#:

Ah, ok. Makes sense. I tend to make people type without control codes if they want to use my scripts. I'm mean that way. Lol!

Thanks all for the help on my bartender script!

Code:

on 1:TEXT:$( $+ $strip(!order) $+ ):#:

will do the same as:

on 1:TEXT:!order:#:

The $strip would only be applied to the word !order
since you didnt put any control codes there is
nothing to strip..

Your original regex is the best way to filter
out the control codes but to be the same you need
to do:

Code:

on $1:text:/^!order$/iS:#:
