_Added in 1.8.8_ */set [-eklnsuNzgpB] <%var> [value]* Sets the value of %var to the specified value. _See also [[/var]], [[/unset]]._ *Switches* -e - Unset the variable when AdiIRC exits. -k - Keeps the unset time (-u) from a previous command. -l - Creates a local variable instead of global. -n - Treat the value as plain text, even if arithmetic operators are used. -s - Display variable assignment value. -uN - Unsets the variable after N amount of seconds, if N = 0 unset the variable after the script is finished. -z - Decreases the value of the variable by 1/ever second until zero is reached. At zero the variable will be unset. -i - Initializes a variable only if it does not already exist as a local or global variable. -g - Sets a global variable even if a local variable exists. -p - Permits value to be 2 literal double quotes and permits value to end with a single [[$chr]](32) space. Also enables -n switch behavior. -B - Performs a [[$calcint]] [[$bigint]] calculation instead of regular [[$calc]] when arithmetic operators are used. (AdiIRC only) *Parameters* <%var> - The variable to set. [value] - Value to set the variable to. (can be a single [[Arithmetic Operators|arithmetic expression]]) *Example* <pre> alias example { ;Create a variable and set a value. /set %var Countdown: ;Print the value /echo -a %var ;Set the value to 3, decrease once per second /set -zs %var 3 } </pre>
