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 }

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

}

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)

    }
}

goto/label:

OnCommand /goto {
    var %loop = 0 
    if ($1 == 1) {
        goto 1
    } else if ($1 == 2) {
        goto 2
    } else if ($1 == loop) {
        :3

    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.

Example scripts¶

Simple kickcounter script:

OnBefore OnCommand { 
    if ($0 != /kick)  return

    if (%kickcount == null) %kickcount = 0

    %kickcount++

    if ($2 == null) { 
        /kick $channel $1 Kick number %kickcount
        halt
    } 
}

Kickban example

OnCommand /kb {
    if (!$1) {
        /echo /kb - Nick missing
        return
    }

    var %msg = $iif($channel, $2-, $3-)
    var %chan = $iif($channel, $channel, $2)

    # Set this for default ban reason, or remove for no default reason
    # Can be shortened to %msg = $iif(%msg, %msg, GTFO)
    if (%msg == null) %msg = GTFO

    if ($me isop %chan) {
        /raw MODE %chan +b *!$ident($1)@$host($1)
        /raw KICK %chan $1 %msg
    } 
    else /echo You are not oper on %chan
}

Simple calculator script:

OnCommand /calc {
    if (!$1) {
        /echo /calc - Parameters missing
        return
    }

    # typing /calc -p <expression> sends output to channel
    if ($1 == -p) {
        /msg $channel Calculating : $2-
        /msg $channel Result is : $calc($2-)
    } else {
        /echo Calculating : $1-
        /echo Result is : $calc($1-)
    }
}

Colored version

OnCommand /calc {
    if (!$1) {
        /echo /calc - Parameters missing
        return
    }

    # typing /calc -p <expression> sends output to channel
    if ($1 == -p) {
        /msg $channel $chr(3)4Calculating : $2-
        /msg $channel $chr(3)4Result is : $calc($2-)
    } else {
        /echo $chr(3)4Calculating : 4$1-
        /echo $chr(3)4Result is : $calc($1-)
    }
}*/

CTCP flood detection example

On OnCTCPRequest {
    if (%count == null) /set -u 10 %count 1
    else /inc -u 10 %count 1

    if (%count > 4) /ignore  -u 30 -t $nick!$ident@$host
}

Mass mode example

OnCommand /mass {
    if (!$2) {
        /echo /mass - Parameters missing [+/-<mode> <nick> <nick> <nick>]
        return
    }

    %len = 2

    # equal to while (%len <= $count(%0-, $chr(32)))
    while (%len <= $!) {
        if ($(%len) ison $channel) /mode $channel $1 $(%len)
        /inc %len
    }
}

Shows info about servers, channels and users

On JOIN {
    var %s = $server(0), %c = 0, %u = 0, %t = 0, %c2 = 0;

    while (%t < %s) {
        %t++
        /setserver $server(%t);
        %c += $chan(0)

        %c2 = 0
        while (%c2 < $chan(0)) {
            %c2++
            %u += $user($chan(%c2), 0)
        }
    }

    /echo You are on (%s) servers, (%c) channels with (%u) users
}

It is now possible to use custom commands as functions.
These custom commands/functions are fully nested like the client functions.

Lets say you make a /mycalc like this.

OnCommand /mycalc {
    return $calc($0+$1);
}

Then you can call this function with eiter /mycalc <number> <number> the normal way or $mycalc(<number, <number>)
Typing /testcalc will show the result.

OnCommand /testcalc {
    /echo $0 + $1 is $mycalc($0, $1);
    /echo 5 + 4 is $mycalc(5, 4);
}

Simple convert temperature C to F or F to C
/temp C 20 will print 68 F

OnCommand /temp {
    if ($1 == C) /echo $calc(($2 * 9/5) + 32) F
    else if ($1 == F) /echo $round($calc(($2 - 32) * 5/9), 1) C
    else /echo Temp missing
}

Test if input contains a link

OnCommand /testlink {
    if (!$1) {
        /echo Link missing
        return
    }

    /echo $iif($regex($1, (?i)\\b((?:[a-z][\\w-]+:(?:/\{1\,3\}|[a-z0-9%])|www\\d\{0\,3\}[.]|[a-z0-9.\\-]+[.][a-z]\{2\,4\}/)(?:[^\\s()<>]+|\\(([^\\s()<>]+|(\\([^\\s()<>]+\\)))*\\))+(?:\\(([^\\s()<>]+|(\\([^\\s()<>]+\\)))*\\)|[^\\s`!()\\[\\]\\\{\\\}\\\;:'".\,<>?«»“â€â€˜â€™]))), yes, no)
}

Retrives plot summary from captured imbd links

On PRIVMSG {
    var %reg = $regex($0-, http://www\\.imdb\\.com(/title/[a-z0-9]+/))
    if (!%reg) { return }

    /sockclose imdb
    %text = null
    %imdb = $regmatch(1)plotsummary
    %imdbchan = $channel
    /sockopen imdb www.imdb.com 80
}

On SockOpen {
    if ($1 != imdb) { return }

    /sockwrite -n imdb GET %imdb HTTP/1.1
    /sockwrite -n imdb Host: www.imdb.com
    /sockwrite -n imdb User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1\; WOW64) AppleWebKit/536.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/19.0.1084.24 Safari/536.5

    /sockwrite -n imdb Accept-Language: en-us, en\;q=0.50
    /sockwrite -n imdb Connection: Close$crlf
}

On SockRead {
    if ($1 != imdb) { return }

    %text += $sockread(imdb)
}

On SockClose {
    if ($1 != imdb) { return }

    if ($regex(%text, <p class="plotpar">([\\s\\S]*?)<i>)) {
        /msg %imdbchan $regmatch(1)
    }

    %text = null
}

An example showing the difference between dates

OnCommand /test {
    $datediff($ctime(1/1 2042), $now)

    var %text = Difference is
    %text += $chr(32)$datematch(4) $iif($datematch(4) == 1, day, days)
    %text += $chr(32)$datematch(3) $iif($datematch(3) == 1, hour, hours) 
    %text += $chr(32)$datematch(2) $iif($datematch(3) == 1, minut, minutes) 

    /echo %text
}
