Please help ASAP - mIRC Discussion Forums

I need a script to kill anyone with a nick beginning with Guest.

I have a feeling it has to have something to do with while loops and /names (the raw numeric is 353 on this particular server)

If anyone can help pronto, that'd be great

ok... You can`t kill anyone if youre not an IRCop...

If you are u can use: if (Guest* iswm $nick) { kill $nick ... }

So that will kill anyone and EVERYone with a nick beginning with Guest based on the output of /names simultaneously?

so you want to do a /names on a channel, and then kill every nick that starts with Guest?

What I want is to when i type e.g. /killguests it does /names (of the entire network) and kills anyone and everyone with a nick beginning with Guest.

Or you could just perm-ban Guest*!*@* and be done with it.

Not helpful when Nickserv changes unidentified persons to Guest####

well, this responds to the normal /names (I don't know if there's any difference between a global /names, or a /names on a channel):

Code:

alias killguests { SET %kg 0 | .NAMES $1 }
raw 353:*: {
  IF (%kg == 0) {
    WHILE (%kg != $gettok($4-,0,32)) {
      INC %kg
      VAR %nick = $remove($gettok($4-,%kg,32),+,%,@,!,&amp;,*,~)
      IF (Guest* iswm %nick) { KILL %nick }
    }
  }
  UNSET %kg
}

Ok, will see how I go, thanks

wouldnt increaseing the variable before u do anything miss the very first person in your while loop?

Code:

alias killguests { SET %kg 0 | .NAMES $1 }

raw 353:*: {
  IF (%kg == 0) {
    WHILE (%kg != $gettok($4-,0,32)) {
      VAR %nick = $remove($gettok($4-,%kg,32),+,%,@,!,&amp;,*,~)
      IF (Guest* iswm %nick) { KILL %nick }
      INC %kg
    }
  } 
 UNSET %kg
}

that would be the way id change yours to make it work alil more in order. its not the method id use exactly but thats no big deal either

No, since the variable is set at 0 to start with, not 1.

ok i didnt look closely enough to read that. btw is there any particular reason to adding the variable at zero instead of actually starting at 1? i would think it would speed up the code alil quicker.

Didn't work, any other suggestions. Had a suggestion from someone else to force change everyone who's using a Guest* nick to the same nick, and thus causing a nick collision and automatic kill. How would/could that work? the command is /operserv user nickname nick newnickname

With such small differences, starting with 0 has proven to have the same speed as starting with 1 when benchmarked here. I think it's understandable in this case, since both methods are only different in their order (with 0 you /inc first and use </similar, with 1 you /inc last and use <=/similar), but always execute the same number of calls..

When I benchmarked a lot of loop "styles" involving various situations some time ago, using $0 as the max value for example (actually, whatever the max value was like), the faster one was var %i = $0, (%i), { command | dec %i }.

Edit: In cases that %i's value should be shown increasing itself, either var %i = 0, (%i < $0), { inc %i | command } or var %i = 1, (%i <= $0), { command | inc %i } were the faster ones (when $0 was other more complex identifier, it was faster if set as a variable to use in the condition, or, in some cases, using ($identifier(%i)) as the condition).

Anyone who benchmarked many loop styles too so we can see the results? Unfortunately I don't have my related notes anymore..
