I wish a typed string to then call an existing remote.

sort of
on 1:INPUT:#:<word1>: /set <%word2 1>

so if I type 'word1' the remote will then perform the task which 'word2' requests.

The /set %word2 1 remote works correctly.

I'm missing something obvious here

I don't really understand your question.

Is the variable %word2 composed of a command? And you want the script to execute the command whenever you type in "word1"?

If so, try:

On *:INPUT:#: if (word1 == $1-) { %word2 }

I suspect that's not necessarily what you want though .. so please clarify.

The word1 is a constant.
Always the same word.

If i type that word into the message line, I want that word to be the cause for sent the command /set %word2 1

I don't want word1 to be sent to the channel.
it's like it's a password that when it's types causes an event to be performed automatically.

Not sure I understand what you want, either .. but here's my guess:

Code:

on *:INPUT:#:pass:{
  set $+(%,$2) $3-
  halt
}

I'm making this too hard on you guys.
Let me try to exlain it this way.

I already have a working script that is called alpha.
When I type /set %alpha 1
The script performs it's job.

I want to make it easier/quicker for me to type
So ...
I need the codet that interprets 'alpha' as being the same as if I had typed /set %alpha 1

basically I want the single word 'alpha' to be shorthand for /set %alqha 1
and of course it as to run.

I'm really sorry to take up your time I'm just starting to learn the scripting lanquage.

Sounds to me like you want an alias.

Or if you just want to enter the command anywhere and not have it display..
