Scripting¶

Scripting BETA Click here to see scripting in the latest beta versions.

You can write full scripts in Commands -> Edit Scripts or you can create one liners in Commands -> Edit Commands

Custom Commands:¶

Custom Commands are created in Commands -> Edit Commands

Custom commands consists of differents ways to execute a script either by making your own command, or use a hotkey, you can also enter a full script as a one liner (for legacy reasons)

Alias

/hello /msg $channel hello everybody

This creates a alias named "/hello", everytime you type "/hello" the script "/msg $channel hello everybody" will be executed, you can use any script features here.

Hot keys

Ctrl&r /msg $channel hello everybody i pressed 'ctrl' and 'r'

Every time you press ctrl + r, the script "/msg $channel hello everybody i pressed 'ctrl' and 'r'" will be executed, you can use any script features her.

You can comment out a command by putting a # in front of it.

It is also possible to use a full script, but it has to be on one line, and the script editor is preferred.

Scripts:¶

Events:
There are different ways to listen to the irc client/server events for legacy reasons.

OnEvent if ($event == PRIVMSG) { /EXECUTE }
OnBeforeEvent if ($event == PRIVMSG) { /EXECUTE }

On PRIVMSG { /EXECUTE }

if/else if/else blocks:

You can use any combination of if, else if, else and while

OnEvent if ($event == PRIVMSG) { 
    if (%test == null) { 
        /echo Hello world
        if (%test == null) { 
            /echo Hello world
        }
        else /echo Hello World
    } else if (%test == null) { 
        /echo Hello world
    } else (%test == null) { 
        /echo Hello world 
    } 

    if (%test == null) { 
        /echo Hello world
        while (%test == null) {
            /echo Hello world
        }
    }

    if(%test == null)/echo Hello World
    else if(%test == null)/echo Hello World
    else/echo Hello world

    if(%test == null){/echo Hello World
    }else if(%test == null){/echo Hello World
    }else{/echo Hello World
    }

    if(%test == null){/echo Hello World}else if(%test == null){/echo Hello World}else{/echo Hello World}
}

while blocks:

On JOIN {
    var %t = 0
    /echo There are ($user($chan, 0)) users in ($chan)

    while (%t < $user($chan, 0)) {
        %t++
        var %nick = $user($chan, %t)
        /echo User (%t) is (%nick) and is $iif(%nick isop $chan, opped, not opped)
    }
}

goto/label:

OnCommand /goto {
    var %loop = 0 
    if ($1 == 1) {
        goto 1
    } else if ($1 == 2) {
        goto 2
    } else if ($1 == loop) {
        :3
        /echo you typed loop
        %loop++
        if (%loop < 5) {
            goto 3
        }
        return
    } else {
        goto 4
    }

    :1
    /echo You typed 1
    return
    :2
    /echo You typed 2
    return
    :4
    /echo The end
    return
}

client variables:

$event / current event, e.g PRIVMSG 001 MODE and so forth
$channel / the channel the event occurred on, if any
$msg / the message to the channel/user or the message in a raw irc line e.g whois [kr0n] is a registered nick
$nick / the nick the event was sent from, can be a irc.server.com, a nick or null
$me / my current nick
$network / the network the event occured on e.g Quakenet
$ident / the from user ident if any
$host / the from user hostname if any
$myident / my ident
$myhost / my host
$server / host from the server e.g irc.server.com
$now / returns unixtime/ctime from current time.
$active / returns the current window Status/#channel/Nick.
$activeserver / returns an id for current server
$status / returns current server status
$crlf / returns newline \r\n
$0-$9 / will return parts of the $msg, $<number>- will combine parts of the $msg from 0 to <number>. $0- will return everything
$! / returns how many $0 $1 etc variables are filled (not sure if final name of it)
$raw0-$raw9 / will return parts of the raw message, $raw<number>- will combine parts of the raw message from 0 to <number>. $raw0- will return everything
$r! / returns how many $raw0 $raw1 etc variables are filled (not sure if final name of it)

user set variables
var %variable = 4242, %variable2 = 4343; will create local variables that gets deleted when the script is done.
using += instead of = will append to the variable, if both variable and new value is numbers it will combine them to a new number %variable += 4242.

If a variable is created without var, the variable will be available to all scripts, saved to a file and restored when AdiIRC is started.

Commands for manipulating variables:

/set {-u seconds/-d] [%var] [value] / create or update a variable with value -u seconds, will delete the variable after X seconds, -d will decrease its value by 1 every second, then remove it

/unset [var] / deletes a variable

/inc {-u seconds/-d] [%var] [value] / increases a variable with value (only if value and var is ints) -u seconds, will delete the variable after X seconds, -d will decrease its value by 1 every second, then remove it

/dec {-u seconds/-d] [%var] [value] / decreases a variable with value (only if value and var is ints) -u seconds, will delete the variable after X seconds, -d will decrease its value by 1 every second, then remove it

/vars shows a list of all variables and their values

functions:
Several functions are exsists, they are all recursive and you can use any %variable or $variable as parameters:
They are also usable inside if () else if () while () statements.
All variable numbers are floats and all functions supports floats for precise calculations.
