!next (help support script) - mIRC Discussion Forums

mIRC Homepage

I found this code on the forum. It's exactly what I need. I tried to solve it, but this is to advanced for me.

Notes:
(15:17:36) (@Vliedel) look at the nwait alias
(15:17:56) (@Vliedel) you return the evaluated variable if prop = noop
(15:18:12) (@Vliedel) and else you return the non evaluated variable

Error:
* /set: invalid parameters (line 4, script1.mrc)

Code:

on *:DISCONNECT:{ unset $+(%,wait:,$cid,:*) }
 
on @*:JOIN:#:{
  set $nwait($chan).noop $nwait($chan) $nick
  $+(.timerWait:,$cid,:,$chan) 1 5 nWaitAdminMsg $chan
}

  var %x = 1, %c, %n = /(?<=^| )\Q $+ $replacecs($nick,\E,\E\\E\Q) $+ \E(?= |$)/
  while ($comchan($nick,%x)) {
    %c = $v1
    set $nwait(%c).noop $regsubex($nwait(%c),%n,$newnick)
    inc %x
  }
}
 
on *:TEXT:!next:#:{
  var %n = $nwait(#)
  while ($$gettok(%n,1,32) !isreg #) %n = $gettok(%n,2-,32)

  set $nwait(#).noop $gettok(%n,2-,32)
}
 
alias nWait {
  if ($prop == noop) { return $($+(%,wait:,$cid,:,$1),2) }
  return $+(%,wait:,$cid,:,$1)
}
 
alias nWaitAdminMsg {
  if ($me !isop $1) { unset $nwait($1).noop }
  else {
    var %n = $nwait($1), %r, %x = 1
    while ($gettok(%n,%x,32)) {
      if ($v1 ison $1) { %r = %r $v1 }
      inc %x
    }
    if (!%r) { unset $nwait($1).noop }
    else {
      set $nwait($1).noop %r
      var %x = 1, %a
      while ($ulist(*,admin,%x)) { %a = $addtok(%a,$v1,44) | inc %x }
      if (%a) {
        msg %a The following users are waiting for help: %r
      }
    }
  }
}

It looks like one problem is from the first line in that alias...

Code:

  if ($prop == noop) { return $($+(%,wait:,$cid,:,$1),2) }

You are evaluating that variable... that doesn't make any sense if you're using that in a /set command. First, a /set needs a % before it, which this would never have, and second, if this variable doesn't already have data, then it will be $null.

The result of this is that anywhere there is a $nwait().noop, it will be replaced with $null or a value (not a variable).

However, that should still leave you with...

/set $null %wait:$cid:$chan $nick

(where the $cid and $chan are evaluated)

And that should not throw that error even with the $null. So that line isn't going to affect anything even though it's not valid the way it's used. From testing just the /set command with the nWait alias, it doesn't give me an error, which is what I'd expect with that being $null. Now, if both $nwait()'s had .noop, then the error would be expected. I'm not sure why you'd be having the error.

The original topic was updated with what may solve your problem. You can see the original topic here.

I do believe I told you in the message you sent me this morning to check the original thread. That I had fixed the script HERE!

Hello,

I tested the new version. I do belive you have a change nick support right?

I tried to change nick while there was 2 in the queue. The variable did not change, and when I used next command the bot (Excess Flood).

New code:

Code:

on *:DICONNECT: unset $+(%,wait:,$cid,:*)

on @*:JOIN:#:{
  set $nwait($chan).noop $nwait($chan) $nick
  $+(.timerWait:,$cid,:,$chan) 1 5 nWaitAdminMsg $!( $chan ,0)
}

on !*:NICK:{
  var %x = 1, %c, %n = /(?<=^| )\Q $+ $replacecs($nick,\E,\E\\E\Q) $+ \E(?= |$)/
  while ($comchan($nick,%x)) {
    %c = $v1
    set $nwait(%c).noop $regsubex($nwait(%c),%n,$newnick)
    inc %x
  }
}

on @*:TEXT:!next:#:{
  var %n = $nwait(#)
  while ($gettok(%n,1,32) && $v1 !isreg #) %n = $gettok(%n,2-,32)
  if (%n) {
    mode # +v $gettok(%n,1,32)
    set $nwait(#).noop $gettok(%n,2-,32)
  }
  else unset $nwait(#).noop
}

alias nWait {
  if ($prop == noop) return $+(%,wait:,$cid,:,$1)
  return $($+(%,wait:,$cid,:,$1),2)
}

alias nWaitAdminMsg {
  if ($me !isop $1) unset $nwait($1).noop
  else {
    var %n = $nwait($1), %r, %x = 1
    while ($gettok(%n,%x,32)) {
      if ($v1 ison $1) %r = %r $v1
      inc %x
    }
    if (!%r) unset $nwait($1).noop
    else {
      set $nwait($1).noop %r
      var %x = 1, %a
      while ($ulist(*,admin,%x)) {
        var %u = $v1, %y = 1
        while ($ialchan(%u,$1,%y)) {
          %a = $addtok(%a,$v1,44)
          inc %y
        }
        inc %x 
      }
      if (%a) msg %a The following users are waiting for help: %r
    }
  }
}

The bot also excess flood when there for example is 1 in the queue and then I do !next two times. Can you add so he says no more users i queue or something, please.

I wasn't able to test the newnick part, but everything else works exactly as it should

    %c = $v1
    if ($nWait(%c)) {

  }
}

    }

  return $($+(%,wait:,$cid,:,$1),2)
}

Without the intention to nit-pick, rather that you - and other reading this - won't form a habit of it:
$!( $identifier ,0) won't make the code evaluation-safe. Those $safe()-aliases exist for a reason.

I was trying to find out the comparison between the safe and the one froggie uses nwait. Whichever should stand out and be the one to be approved of.

The purpose of $safe() is to prevent an evaluation where it's not desired - like in /scon, /scid, /flash, and /timer of course; or in the command parts of $tip() and $findfile() for example.
The purpose of $nwait() in Froggie's code is convenience: return either the name or the value of a dynamic variable.

The newnick functions does not work. There's two users in queue. The user in the front queue changes name, and when the next command is done he voices the second user in the queue.

- $+(.timerWait:,$cid,:,$chan) 1 5 nWaitAdminMsg $!( $chan ,0)
i dont think the timer works aswell =)

Here's my two cents - note that I didn't really test it! The approach is just slightly different from Froggies.

Code:

; return wheter a user's mask (nick!user@host - you can use wildcards) has admin level
; YOUR ULIST HAS TO CONTAIN MASKS FOR IT TO WORK, if it's made of plain nicknames, try $nick in place of $fulladdress
alias -l isadmin { return $ulist($fulladdress,admin) }

; return hash table name
alias -l ht { return $+(helpqueue,$cid) }

; regex routine (find nickname tokens in hash table data)
alias -l nickreg { return $+(/(?<=^|\s)\Q,$replacexcs($1,\E,\E\\E\Q),\E(?=$|\s),/i) }


; queue joining non-admins and send message to all present admins 7s after last join
on @*:join:#: {
  if (!$isadmin) { 
    hadd -m $ht $chan $hget($ht,$chan) $nick
    $+(timer,$ht,$chr(1),$chan) 1 7 messageadmins
  }
}

; voice next user in channel's queue
on @admin:text:!next:#:{
  if ($hget($ht,$chan)) { mode $chan +v $gettok($v1,1,32) }
  else { notice $nick      Help queue of $chan is empty. }
}

; remove voiced users from queue
on *:voice:#: { hadd -m $ht $chan $remtok($hget($ht,$chan),$vnick,0,32) }

; remove kicked users from channel's queue; clear queue if kicked yourself
on *:kick:#: {
  if ($knick == $me) { if ($hget($ht)) hdel $v1 $chan }
  elseif (!$ulist($ial($knick),admin)) { hadd -m $ht $chan $remtok($hget($ht,$chan),$knick,0,32) }
}

; remove parting users from channel's queue; clear queue if parting yourself
on *:part:#: {
  if ($nick == $me) { if ($hget($ht)) hdel $v1 $chan }
  elseif (!$isadmin) { hadd -m $ht $chan $remtok($hget($ht,$chan),$nick,0,32) }
}

; remove quitting users from queue(s); clear queue if quitting yourself
on *:quit: {
  if ($nick == $me) { if ($hget($ht)) hfree $v1 }
  elseif (!$isadmin) { 
    while ($hfind($ht,$nickreg($nick),1,r).data) { hadd $ht $v1 $remtok($hget($ht,$v1),$nick,0,32) }
  }
}

; update queue(s) on nickchange
on !*:nick: {
  if (!$isadmin) { 
    while ($hfind($ht,$nickreg($nick),1,r).data) { hadd $ht $v1 $reptok($hget($ht,$v1),$nick,$newnick,0,32) }
  }
}

; clear queue on disconnect
on *:disconnect: { if ($hget($ht)) hfree $v1 }


; send message to all admins on that channel (max. 4 target nicks per message)
alias -l messageadmins {
  var %n = 1, %c = $gettok($ctimer,-1,1), %present
  while ($ulist(*,admin,%n)) {
    if ($ialchan($v1,%c,1).nick) { 
      var %present = $addtok(%present,$v1,44)
      if ($numtok(%present,44) == 4) { notice $v1 $queuemessage(%c) | var %present }
    }
    inc %n
  }
  if (%present) { notice $v1 $queuemessage(%c) }
}

; message layout
alias -l queuemessage {
  var %t = $numtok($hget($ht,$1),32)
  return      There $iif((%t > 1),are %t users,is $iif((%t == 1),one user,no user left)) in the help queue of $1 $+ .
}

Looks ok, will test it now. But can you add an !addadmin and !removeadmin ? That would be legendary!

EDIT: On kick your script does not remove them from the queue.

I'll look into it - can you please give some samples of your "users" tab (current user levels list)?

Edit: As I won't have time tomorrow, give this a shot (It'll add admins that are present with $mask type 1: *!*user@host, but should accept plain nicknames/wildmasks as well (e.g. offline users).

Code:

; ------------ SETUP START ------------
; channels to trigger at (separate multiple channels by comma)
alias -l next.chans { return #help,#support }

; after joins of regular users, msg/notice users with level "admin" after N seconds
; note that if other user joins in the meantime, the timer restarts, so you won't flood that much
alias -l next.infodelay { return 7 }

; method to inform admins (put either "msg" or "notice")
alias -l next.info { return notice }
; ------------- SETUP END -------------

Bugs:
If more than 1 user in the queue it;
- the nickchange dont work - mirc freezes
- the user who gets voiced by !next wont be removed from queue if more than 1 in the queue.

BUMP

Sorry for the late reply - been busy

The first issue may indeed occur if a user is only changing the "case" of his nickname (e.g. "xelent" -> "XeLenT").
Fix: at the line

Quote:

alias -l nickreg { return $+(/(?<=^|\s)\Q,$replacexcs($1,\E,\E\\E\Q),\E(?=$|\s),/i) }

remove that "i"-char left of the final round closing bracket.

Having run some tests with four clients, I wasn't able to reproduce the second issue though.
However, you should be able to play safe with the following modification: while invalid entries shouldn't appear in the queue at all, it will "skip" invalid nicknames in the queue (remove them from queue and continue with next nick).

Change this event:

Code:

on @admin:TEXT:!next:$($next.chans): {
  if ($hget($ht,$chan)) { mode $chan +v $gettok($v1,1,32) }
  else { $next.info $nick Help queue of $chan is empty. }
}

To:

Code:

on @admin:TEXT:!next:$($next.chans): {
  :next
  if ($hget($ht,$chan)) {
    if ($gettok($v1,1,32) ison $chan) && ($v1 !isvoice $chan) { mode $v2 +v $v1 }
    else { hadd $ht $chan $gettok($hget($ht,$chan),2-,32) | goto next }
  }
  else { $next.info $nick Help queue of $chan is empty. }
}

Seems to be working perfectly. You've been very helpfull. Can you please do one final thing for me?

Remove that a user require admin to use the commands.
Can you set the help chan to a permanent channel? No multiple channel choice. And I can use !queue in another channel to view the queue in the real channel.
Add !on / !off cmd to turn on and off the queue system

The thing I want is to have an ADMIN channel where you can check !queue and do other commands to the permanent HELP channel.

I tried to make this based on your script, NO CHANCE. So many bugs and things dont work. Please, I beg you. MAKE THIS :P

My test, when I do next it still reports that the user is in queue.

Well, you made lots of modifications - more than the requests in your previous post necessitate. Here and there (putmsg, %help(author) for example) it's not very clear to me what funtionality you're after. Adding extensive features won't ease debugging - it's now very hard to test your script in action - I'd have to set up both chan, pchan and mchan with various clients each. I suggest to not add additional functions till all modifications of the "core" script are working properly

In general, try to debug the code and make it as verbose as necessary:
- Put the -s switch at all the /hadd /hdel /hfree /set /writeini etc commands
- De-silence commands (e.g: .timer -> timer )
Then, try to narrow down what makes the script to fail (which scenario -> which alias/event -> which command in the alias/event).

However - not by testing but mere reading of your code - I noticed the following:

1) Atm no join event is left, you're adding users right after "queueme" -> invite command - but there's no check whether a user actually joins the helpchan.
Alike, the "you've been voiced"-info - this shouldn't be sent right after the voice command but rather "on voice" (and if the voiced user in queue); alike the queue-remtok at !done -> kick command - better use the on kick event.

2) At !done (which triggers on text at %help(pchan) and not at %help(chan) !), you're currently using $chan = %help(pchan) and not %help(chan) in the hadd command. You're thus manipulating the (nonexistent) queue of pchan. But, as stated above, better update the queue on kick.

3) If %help(chan) can be but a single channel, no "on quit"/"on nick"-loops with $hfind(r) are required. That (and the nickreg alias) was made to account for multiple help channels with separate queues. A "ison"-check -> $remtok should suffice in your case.

4) Why the check for %help. [ $+ [ $nick ] ] ?
You can check whether a nick is in the queue with

Quote:

if ($istok($hget($ht,%help(chan)),$nick,32)) { }

. This would also be be more accurate as the hash table updates with various events (nick,part,quit,kick...) while thes variables do not.

5) Add a basic flood protection for all the replies of "queueme". If "putcmd" does not provide a sufficient flood protection, you should add one there as well.

Good luck
