By Cheiron on Nov 22, 2007here we go... nice complex one for ya all..
this one is for channels and/or servers where there is a split between a capital letter starting nick and a lowercase starting nick getting a voice.
this script sets a loop in which it looks for the first letter before voicing. this is to overcome nicks that have already been taken and therefore other things have been added to keep the nick. ie.. lucy (taken) therefore `lucy or {lucy}
once it has found the first letter, it checks whether it is upper or lowercase. if it is lowercase then it gives voice
as usual.. change channel for your own.
Comments people please?
alias issub {
var %id.i = 1
:loop
var %id.fletter = $mid($1,%id.i,1)
if ( %id.fletter !isalnum ) {
inc %id.i
goto loop
}
if ( %id.fletter === $lower(%id.fletter) ) { return $true }
else { return $false }
}
on 1:join:#channel:{
if (( $issub($nick) ) && ( $nick != $me )) { mode $chan +v $nick }
}
oh, now got the point, then it could be like this:
alias -l issub { if ($1- === $lower($remove($1-,$chr(40),$chr(41),$chr(96))) { return 1 } }
You can get symbols $chr by using //echo -a $asc(`) for example and then seperate the characters to remove from nick, so making the nickname not equal to previous one - not voicing the nick.
i thought i had to put it in as some nicks are taken and people put other things at the start of nicks.. so i set the check to scroll through till it found the first letter.. ie.. ```sandy, or {sandy}, or 123sandy.. something like that. that is why i did the script the way i did. if there easier way of checking the nick for the first letter inbetween the crap at the start of it, i would be most interested. thanks for the advice there though Noutrious :)
