$server().idle - mIRC Discussion Forums

$server.idle even

If there is one allready, forgive me...

Just thought it would compliment the new .idle properties.

Already there: $idle

Thanks, I seen that... But what I meant was idle time since you recieved data... I guess mIRC would use something similar for the "PING :TIMEOUTCHECK".

Exactly the same as $chan(#).idle

.... $idle returns the seconds since you did something in mIRC (even an echo)

$chan(#name).idle returns the seconds since there was activity on the channel

While I didn't find an identifier for this, it is returned as $3 in raw 317, which, in turn, is generated by the /whois command.

Usage: /server.idle <nick>
Note: <nick> is optional and will default to your nick if not supplied.

Code:

alias server.idle {
  .enable #server.idle
  .whois $iif($1,$1,$me)
}
#server.idle off
raw 317:*:{
  echo -a $duration($3)
  halt
}
raw 318:*:{
  .disable #server.idle
  haltdef
}
#server.idle end

Not a bad idea, I like that one :P

BUT... I was referring to incoming and outgoing data from the socket... like the timeoutcheck would see... Not sure if I'm explaining it properly... Like time since last bytes sent/received.

I understand what you're asking for, and what I gave you is as close as I was able to come up with in the roughly 90 minutes since your original post.

Yeh, it's a shame that MY raw * dosnt work

....does anyone other than myself like this idea?

It doesn't? To my knowledge raw numerics/events are returned by the network, so unless you have a script that disables these, and that script is loaded before the one I posted, my code should work fine.

If this is not the case, can you provide an sample of what you do get using the /whois command with the output being directed to a custom window via the /debug command.

Nah, I mean't raw "*" (raw anything)

wouldn't that be
raw *:*:
to mean raw anything?

Yeh...lol

Anyhow.. back to topic:

$server.idle would suit the rest of the new idle $prop's

Sorry to keep this off track for a bit longer, but if your client isn't accepting raw numeric reports (which is what raw *:* returns (for lack of a better expression)), then how does your client handle things like the information returned using /whois ?

Getting back on track, I agree that this identifier would fit with the rest of the new .idle identifiers

raw *:*:{
echo -st $1-
}

My bad, I had used a ";" instead of ":"

that would explain why it didn't work previously, and still makes my suggestion valid.
