noob if statement question - mIRC Discussion Forums

umm im not very good at these so please dont make fun of me
but i was wondering if this is right:

Code:

alias autoawaycheck {
  if ($idle &gt; %away.aatime) {
   if (%away.silent==on) { quietaway autoaway after $duration(%away.aatime) }
    else { setaway autoaway after $duration(%away.aatime) }
    .timer(autoaway) off
  }
}

can you see if ive done anything wrong?

Looks right to me.

are there any tutorials which cover if statements ?

Yeah, just look around. Myself, I just learned from the help file, though.

You'll find some pretty good tutorials here.

yeah i found some
thanks anyways

Your problem is in your second IF condition:

if (%away.silent==on) { quietaway autoaway after $duration(%away.aatime) }

unless you happen to have a variable named %away.silent==on, which is a valid variable name. Surround the == with spaces as you did the > in the previous IF condition.

if (%away.silent == on) { quietaway autoaway after $duration(%away.aatime) }

yeah i found that i had made that mistake after readin some tutorials

but thanks for that anyway
