alias help
Added by shire pirate over 9 years ago
hello,
trying to extend the usefulness of a script using an alias but not sure if it can be done. currently it will automatically OP or VOICE those that join the channel under given conditions. i want to add a 5-second timer using SLEEP to wait and see if ChanServ does the job before me. so i tried to stick most of it in an alias, then call up the alias using SLEEP, but keep getting the error that "if" is an "Unknown command."
i realize $nick & $chan probably only work through the ONJOIN event too, but i think they could be passed as arguments, yes? main issue seems to be whether or not an if statement can actually be called up using another command i guess. is it possible? thanks for reading.

Hi,
Can you post what your script looks like now?
RE: alias help - Added by shire pirate over 9 years ago
sure, this is the script for auto-op & auto-voice
on *:JOIN:#channel:{ if ($me !isop $chan) { msg nickserv identify password } if ($nick != $me) && ($me isop $chan) { if (123.45.678.9 isin $address) { mode $chan +v $nick ;username1 } if (987-65-432-123.dyn.iinet.net.au isin $address) { mode $chan +o $nick ;username2 } } }
all i would like to do is add a 5-second timer to avoid redundancy when ChanServ recognizes the user. any ideas?

Oh I see, I think you were on the right track, something like this maybe?
on *:JOIN:#channel:{ ; Run once after 5 seconds, send $chan and $nick as parameters. .timer 1 5 example $chan $nick } alias example { ; $1 is $chan ; $2 is $nick if ($me !isop $1) { msg nickserv identify password } if ($2 != $me) && ($me isop $1) { if (123.45.678.9 isin $address) { mode $1 +v $2 ;username1 } if (987-65-432-123.dyn.iinet.net.au isin $address) { mode $1 +o $2 ;username2 } } }
Edit: forgot formatting.

ah that's great, had a hunch sleep was the wrong command. thanks a lot.
RE: alias help - Added by shire pirate over 9 years ago
hm, this script doesn't work for me anymore when using an alias like that example
on *:JOIN:#channel:{ .timer 1 3 exampleone $chan $nick .timer 1 6 exampletwo $chan $nick } alias exampleone { if ($me !isop $1) { msg nickserv identify password } } alias exampletwo { if ($2 != $me) && ($me isop $1) && ($2 !isop $1) && ($2 !isvoice &1) && ($2 ison $1) { if (exampleipaddress isin $address) { mode $1 +v $2 ;username } if (exampleipaddress2 isin $address) { mode $1 +o $2 ;username2 } if (examplehostname isin $address) { mode $1 +v $2 ;username3 } if (examplehostnametwo isin $address) { mode $1 +v $2 ;username4 } } }
something wrong with my syntax? it will no longer OP or VOICE anyone.

This doesn't look right "($2 !isvoice &1)" .. should maybe be "($2 !isvoice $1)"
A good way to test if something works, is to insert /echo commands at various places to see if something is called or what it's value is.
Example:
echo -ag Checking parameters 1 is $1 2 is $2 echo -ag $iif($2 != $me, not me, me) $iif($me isop $1, i am op, i am not op) echo -ag Checking $address - $iif(exampleipaddress isin $address, address found, address not found)
And so on, hope that helps.

ah, yeah, was a typo when posting to here. had tried different parameters in that line of code already though, doesn't even work if it is just:
if ($2 != $me) {
i added them all in the example as ideally i wanted all of those.
any reason the alias wouldn't be called at all with those timer commands though?

You can insert echo statements like in my example to figure out what goes wrong and why, here is what I would do in your example.
alias exampletwo { echo -ag Checking parameters 1 is $1 - 2 is $2 - $iif(2 != $me, not me, me) - $iif($me isop $1, is op, is not op) if ($2 != $me) && ($me isop $1) { echo -ag First if statement is ok if (exampleipaddress isin $address) { echo -ag Example1 ok mode $1 +v $2 ;username } if (exampleipaddress2 isin $address) { echo -ag Example2 ok mode $1 +o $2 ;username2 } if (examplehostname isin $address) { echo -ag Example3 ok mode $1 +v $2 ;username3 } if (examplehostnametwo isin $address) { echo -ag Example4 ok mode $1 +v $2 ;username4 } } }
Based on the result from the messages on your screen, you should be able to see what goes wrong.

using these echo statements everything reports ok down to the final command,
mode $1 +o $2
or
mode $1 +v $2
then this doesn't work...
edit: perhaps $address needs to be passed along as an argument too? i'll try that...

yeah, that was the problem, works now. thanks for the help
