Scripts not responding - mIRC Discussion Forums

Hi guys,
I have a funny little problem with my mirc(i think)
When eve i add new scripts to the script editor ,some scripts dont work.
So i was wondering is there any particular way of adding scripts to the script editor?
Example:
on *:TEXT:!calc *:#: msg $chan $nick $+ : The answer is $calc($2-)

Next i add
ON *:TEXT:bye everyone:#: {
msg $chan cya $nick ^^
}

Now when i add the second one the !calc script dosn't respond

open the scripts editor, click file -> click "new" -> paste new code in fresh editbox, click ok

Those two on TEXT events should work perfectly fine, since their matchtext sections do not overlap.
If you would do something like:

Code:

on *:TEXT:hello *:#: command
on *:TEXT:hello people:#: command

...then the second one wouldn't trigger since it would already be dealt with by the first.

1) make sure you don't have any scripts loaded that already respond to your new script's matchtext
2) make sure all scripts are aligned properly (all { } and match up for instance)
3) make sure your matchtext is correct (e.g. don't you need wildcards, is the person triggering the script perhaps using colour/bold)

Hey thanks

i tried loading the scripts in a new script editor window and worked perfectly fine.
Also, can we have have 2 script editing windows loaded at the same time ,so that all the scripts in the first window can carry on running as usual?

You cannot have two script window open at the same time.
However, "can carry on running as usual" doesn't really apply, I think.
Script changes do not take effect until you press the Ok button or until you switch over to another tab in the editor window.

It's not necessary to press "Ok" and close the editor to effect changes. You can also hit Ctrl-s (File -> Save) to save the file, which will immediately update mIRC without closing the editor.

Why not use:

Code:

on *:text:*:#: {
 if ($1 == word1) { do stuff }
 elseif ($1 == word2) { do stuff }
 elseif ($1 == word3) { do stuff }
}

This way you only need 1 on text event for all words you want to add.

Hmm i thought only after you press 'ok' your scripts will work?

There are a number of ways to make mIRC run newly-entered scripts. Ctrl+S, Ctrl+H (Check Brackets) and toggling between tabs/files all work.
