Introduction

I have redone this script a bit since I first uplaoded it, the timer was having issues, and forgot to include the highlight coding. This script was done with the help of GrimReaper using his away script,and parts of others. I encourage feed back, let me know what you think. Thank you.

If you modify this script be very careful! Its rather fragile as I have come to find out.lol

NOTE: Monitor timers, not sure if the timers will clear correclty, they should. But I have yet to test the new timer arrangement. The %away unsets fine thou, so thats good news. I was getting stuck variables with the $+ $nick, due to the way it was set up the variables were being set as %awaynickhere, and not %away NICKHERE. Small but big difference. I also found out that my highlight WAS based on the variable, and that trying to do it based on the .ini file is the thing I was having issues with. But long as the variable and timer clear, im sure the read.ini file is of lil concern. If you DO know how to have a way of checking that in chat, let me know. IE: !checknick NICK, and have it return result based on read.ini status instead of %away.

Thanks again for the input.

Grab the Code

on $*:TEXT:/^(brb|gone|afk)/Si:#:{
  if (!$readini(idle.ini, $nick, time)) {
    set %away $nick
    writeini idle.ini $nick time $ctime
    msg $chan Alright, ill start my stop watch..
      }
  elseif ($readini(idle.ini, $nick, time) >= 1) {
    msg $chan $nick $+ ,you are already marked as brb, Please say "back" when you return!
  }
}
 
on *:text:back:#:{
  if ($readini(idle.ini, $nick, time) >= 1) {
    unset %away
    msg $chan Welcome back $nick you were gone for $duration($calc($ctime -$readini(idle.ini, $nick, time) )) $+ , what took you so long?
    remini idle.ini $nick
  }
}
on *:TEXT:!ClearAway *:#:{
  if (!$2) { msg $chan Please specify a nick!
  }
  else { 
    unset %away
    remini idle.ini $2
    msg $chan $2 $+ 's brb time has been cleared.
  }
}
On *:TEXT:*:#: {
if (%away isin $1-) {
    msg $chan Sorry $nick but there marked as brb at this time, they will say back when they return.
  }
}

LOL Thanks GrimReaper, well you helped more then you know. I used parts of many of your scripts to figure out how to get it to act a certain way here and there..hehe

Your regex needs to be added with a $ at the end. The current one you have will get triggered if any letter or words are attached after afk, brb, and gone.

Quote:

on $*:TEXT:/^(afk|brb|gone)$/Si:#: {

This will match exactly for afk, brb, and gone.

Jethro_ exactly it will work if some one types brb gone to the bathroom..etc As designed.

However you didnt mention that with $+ $Nick that if (%away isin $1-) wont work for highlighting, so I have removed the $+ +nick and returned to the older version which seems far more stable.

Your point is duely noted and thank you, but that was on purpose. :)

ohhh I see.

One more thing I'd like to add is that you can incorporate your back and !clearaway command into the regex match and then use the

Code:

if ($regeml(1) == back) {

and

Code:

if ($regml(1) == !clearaway)

to trigger the second and last on text event:

Code:

on $*:TEXT:/^(b(rb|ack)|gone|afk|[!]clearaway)/Si:#: {

This way you only use one text event instead of three, excluding the one for %away.

I had the same idea When i Scripted Terran on SwiftIRC. IF you would like to see a related code that works for more than one person,

Zerg I tried that, but then the highlight wouldnt work, and that was one the features I wanted for my channel. Its very easy to modify to work with multiple users, but doing so makes it rather hard to get it to allow you to do highlights by %away due to $+ $nick sets it so the away is set as %awayuser, instead of %away user, I guess one could do $nick without the $+ I might try that soon. Love your snippet btw!

Hmm well thanks for the feedback from those using the script

UPDATE: I had to remove the timed clear, apparently the timer was not clearing when the remini command was used, so it would fill the server with outstanding timers. There for this function has been removed.
