So what are you suggesting precisely? Use the if ($1 == trigger) ? as a good habit or practice :? Perhaps you can give me some pointers as to what you mean by "chunky, outdated, or invalid as opposed to that of nightmares. Explain the downfalls to me.

Jethro, when i first pointed out that $($iif( )) in matchtext idea it was purely to show that it is actually possible to perform such checks in the header portion of an event - i didn't mean for it to serve as an example of good scripting practice. in terms of readability and suitability, i would place it in the same category as chunky $regsubex() loops, overuse of outdated or invalid code and other scripting related nightmares :P

One thing to make the snippet more interesting is to diversify the day replies a bit. Over time people might get bored with the same thing over and over.

how stupid didn't use my bot which already strips code ..i'm badddd LoL it works :D [12:49] < babycakes> !time
[12:49] < sugar^cookie> The time is 12:49 in the afternoon
[12:49] < sugar^cookie> on Saturday, the 18th day of December.
[12:49] < sugar^cookie> Today you should invest in solar panels.

Yes, but I tend not to use regex for one word match. Change \b to $ so it won't trigger by punctuation characters affixing to it. And there is no $2 used anyway.

Also, spoofing could have used $time(h:nn) and $time(H) in place of $asctime(h:nn) and $asctime(H)

It's slimmer and does the same thing.

		Code 			
on $*:text:/^!time\b/Si:*:{

cupcake, it's working. Chances are the control codes caused the code to not recognize the command. Change the text event to this:

		Code 			
on *:TEXT:$($iif(!time = $strip($1),$1)):#:{	

It's always a good idea to use $strip() for the trigger commands. You'd never know if people have a custom script using control codes and that you do not have your mirc set to strip out incoming messages.

P.S. I know the user _Teen_ would think otherwise.

lol; I love simple scripts like this because it's reminds me of times when I just started learning mSL (6 years ago).
