This scriptlet allows you to flip a coin and return the results 1 of 4 ways

1) echo it out to active window

2) msg it out to specified channel/user

3) notice it out to channel/user

4) return it (for using as a custom identifyer)



USAGE:

to flip a coin for you to see

/flipcoin

or

/flipcoin -e



to flip a coin to a channel as a message

/flipcoin -c #channel



to flip a coin to a channel as a notice

/flipcoin -n #channel



to get the result to use in another script

%result = $flipcoin(-r)



to get the result output as result of the !flip trigger

on *:TEXT:!flip:#: {

/flipcoin -c $chan

}



if anyone has any ideas on how to improve this then i will modify and post :)

alias flipCoin {
  var %coin = $rand(1,2)
  var %result

  if (%coin == 1 ) {
    %result = Heads
  }
  else {
    %result = Tails
  }   

  if (($1 == -e ) || ($len($1) == 0) ) {
    /echo -a You Flip a coin
    /echo -a The Coin Lands: %result
  }
  elseif ($1 == -c) {
    if ($len($2) >= 2 ) {
      if ($chan($2).status ==  joined) {
        /msg $2 $me Flips a coin
        /msg $2 The Coin Lands: %result 
      }
      else {
        /echo -a Cannot flip a coin to a channel you are not in
      }
    }
    else {
      /echo -a Cannot flip to channel as none specified
    }
  }
  elseif ($1 == -n) {
    if ($len($2) >= 2 ) {
      if ($chan($2).status ==  joined) {
        /msg $2 $me Flips a coin
        /msg $2 The Coin Lands: %result 
      }
      else {
        /echo -a Cannot flip a coin to a channel you are not in
      }
    }
    else {
      /echo -a Cannot flip to channel as none specified
    }
  }
  elseif ($1 == -r) {
    return %result 
  }  
}
