Example scripts¶

Simple kickcounter script:

alias kick { 
    if (!%kickcount) %kickcount = 0

    inc %kickcount

    if (!$3) { 
        kick # $$2 Kick number %kickcount
        halt
    } 
}

Kickban example

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

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

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

  if ($me isop %chan) {
    MODE %chan +b $wildsite
    KICK %chan $1 %msg
  } 
  else echo You are not oper on %chan
}

Simple calculator script:

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

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

Colored version

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

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

CTCP flood detection example

CTCP *:*:*:{
  if (!%count) set -u10 %count 1
  else inc -u10 %count 1

  if (%count > 4) ignore -tu30 $wildsite
}

Mass mode example

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

  %len = 2

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

Shows info about servers, channels and users

on *:JOIN:#: {
  var %s = $scon(0), %c = 0, %u = 0, %t = 0, %c2 = 0;

  while (%t < %s) {
    inc %t
    scon $scon(%t);
    inc %c $chan(0)

    %c2 = 0
    while (%c2 < $chan(0)) {
      inc %c2
      inc %u $nick($chan(%c2), 0)
    }
  }

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

It is possible to use scripts as functions.
These functions are fully nested like the client functions.

Lets say you make a /mycalc like this.

alias mycalc {
  return $calc($$1 + $$2);
}

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

alias testcalc {
  echo -a $1 + $2 is $mycalc($1, $2);
  echo -a 5 + 4 is $mycalc(5, 4);
}

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

alias 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
}

Announce song changes in a channel or to a user

On *:SONG:{ 
  nmsg <network> <channel/Nick> $1-
}

Announce to several channels with:

On *:SONG:{ 
  nmsg <network> <channel1/Nick>,<channel2/Nick> $1-
  nmsg <network2> <channel3/Nick> $1- 
}

Automatically find the summary of a imdb url

On *:TEXT:*:#k: {
  var %reg = $regex($1-, http://www\.imdb\.com(/title/[a-z0-9]+/))
  if (!%reg) { return }
  sockclose imdb
  unset %data
  %imdb = $regml(1) $+ plotsummary
  %imdbchan = #
  sockopen imdb www.imdb.com 80
}

on *:sockopen:imdb: {
  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 Referer: http://www.imdb.com

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

on *:sockread:imdb:{
  sockread %text
  %data = %data $+ %text 
}

on *:sockclose:imdb: {
  if ($regex(%data, <p class="plotSummary">([\s\S]*?)</p>)) {
    msg %imdbchan $regml(1)
  }

  unset %data
}

mIRC scripting compatibility¶

Although mostly compatible, AdiIRC scripting is not fully compatible, there are missing features, various bugs and differences.

As such, asking for AdIRC scripting help should not be done in mIRC specific channels, unless it's a script developed for mIRC and the question is related to mIRC only.

You can ask for AdiIRC scripting help in the #adiirc channel on chat.freenode.net.

Submitting scripting bug reports¶

First verify the script works correctly in mIRC unless it uses AdIRC specific features, then narrow down the bug to the smallest possible lines of code before submitting.

Include as much information about the problem as possible, such as observed behavior and what the expected behavior should be.

More information¶

You can find many AdiIRC scripts in the Scripting forum or mIRC scripts in places such as http://www.mircscripts.com.

Not everyone will work, if you find one that dosen't, see above on how to report a bug.

For more on mIRC scripting and how it works, check out http://en.wikichip.org/wiki/Introduction_-_mIRC and http://www.mirc.org/mishbox/index.htm
