When I was chatting, and testing some $'s, I found a bug.

Example:
When you have this line in your aliases:


And you say in a chatroom:


You will get an error ("* /echo: insufficient parameters") BUT it will activate the alias /think too.

Greetings,

No bug.

$think isn't evaluated to anything, so mIRC tries to /echo a $null, which results, as it has always been, in * /echo: insufficient parameters.

Try this:

//echo -a $null
//echo -a $chr(32)

Greets

I know, but it isn't only an error, it says "I'm Thinking" too.

Try:
Add this in your aliases:
/sometest /say aaaa, this is a test

And type in a chatroom:
//echo -a $sometest

yes, there is no distinction between custom aliases and custom identifiers

thats what the $isid identifier is for, to check what its called like

It works as it should

Try this:

you're obviously new to scripting

an alias called by $ will execute all the commands in an alias
the $ prefix is used incase you want to use evaluate something in a different alias and return something

hence why the first reply used $isid and the /return prefix

the BEST help file i've ever seen is the one written for mIRC
if you want to script i HIGHLY recommend you read it
and play with it
it was the best 3 hours i spent.
it dosnt take very long to read it
in your case i suggest you start with /help aliases

it explains the $ prefix, also how exactly aliases work

No, I am scripting a year of 2.


Okay, thanks


I agree



Sorry, I hasn't read the $ prefix help
