h1. Scripting

AdiIRC has a powerful scripting language which can be used to extend/change the clients behavior.

It's modeled after the popular mIRC scripting language, make sure you read the [[Scripting#mIRC-scripting-compatibility|compatibility section]].

h2. Example scripts

Simple kickcounter script:

<pre>

alias kick { 

	if (!%kickcount) %kickcount = 0

	inc %kickcount

	if (!$3) { 

		kick # $$2 Kick number %kickcount

		halt

	} 

}

</pre>

Kickban example

<pre>

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

}

</pre>

Simple calculator script:

<pre>

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-)

  }

}

</pre>

Colored version

<pre>

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-)

  }

}

</pre>

CTCP flood detection example

<pre>

CTCP *:*:*:{

  if (!%count) set -u10 %count 1

  else inc -u10 %count 1

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

}

</pre>

Mass mode example

<pre>

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

  }

}

</pre>

Shows info about servers, channels and users

<pre>

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

}

</pre>

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.

<pre>

alias mycalc {

  return $calc($$1 + $$2);

}

</pre>

Then you can call this function with eiter /mycalc <number> <number> the normal way or $mycalc(<number, <number>)

Typing /testcalc will show the result.

<pre>

alias testcalc {

  echo -a $1 + $2 is $mycalc($1, $2);

  echo -a 5 + 4 is $mycalc(5, 4);

}

</pre>

Simple convert temperature C to F or F to C

/temp C 20 will print 68 F

<pre>

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

}

</pre>

Announce song changes in a channel or to a user

<pre>

On *:SONG:{ 

  nmsg <network> <channel/Nick> $1-

}

</pre>

Announce to several channels with:

<pre>

On *:SONG:{ 

  nmsg <network> <channel1/Nick>,<channel2/Nick> $1-

  nmsg <network2> <channel3/Nick> $1- 

}

</pre>

Automatically find the summary of a imdb url

<pre>

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 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

}

</pre>

h2. 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 or forums, unless it's a script developed for mIRC and the question is related to mIRC only.

You can ask for AdiIRC scripting help on the forum#5 forum or in the #adiirc channel on chat.freenode.net.

h2. 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.

h2. More information

You can find many AdiIRC scripts in the forum#5 forum or mIRC scripts in places such as http://hawkee.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

h2. Known issues

Some [[$regex]]/[[$regsub]]/[[$regsubex]] regular expression features are missing since AdiIRC uses the [[Scripting_Regex|.NET regular expression engine]].

[[$calc]] parentheses are not always parsed correctly, adding spaces around them helps.

[] brackets doesn't work inside identifiers and [[/if]] expressions and sometimes adds extra spaces in the result, adding spacing around them helps fix the inside identifiers issue.

N-N range doesn't work correctly in some identifiers, specifically token identifiers.

DLL's designed to inject them self into mIRC's memory doesn't work (And never will).

Various parsing issues/differences in [[$calc]].
