My first trigger was active only in a staff room and it was flooded, so ner. :D

well yea, but whos ganna spam a poke command?Maybe not you, but some rascals will...> i guess better safe then srry ?Yes, never say never and you can't be too careful these days.

lmao

I like simplicity, but if you're referring to a kind of simplicity with multiple text events per trigger, without trigger flood protection, and some needed factors considered to benefit a script, that won't be an efficient simplicity.

well touche Jethro
made sumfin so very simple
into sumfin longer =D

I agree, Gummo. Slacker could've done it like so:

on $*:text:/^!(about)?(poke)\b/iS:#:{
  if ($2 ison #) && ($regml(1) == poke) { describe # pokes $2 }
  if ($regml(1) == about) {
    .notice $nick This script was made by Matt.
    .notice $nick IRC vHost, Matt@Hiding.My.Identity.From.You.Stalkers
    .notice $nick Do not reproduce without my explicit permission.
  }
}

Seems to me that slacker's regex wouldn't work for a number of reasons..
One of them is the fact that "!aboutpoke" takes both regml(1) and regml(2).
The other is the fact that it can trigger for ! by itself and something after it, or any trigger at all other than !

Well, slacker, if you must do it with regex, you really don't have to construct it with the match for nick, poke and aboutpoke. All you need to do is this:

on $*:text:/^!(\w+)\s(\S+)/iS:#:{

since you already use $regml(1) and $regml(2) to indicate what you're going to match.

you can also do it like this as well if all you are doing is a poke.

on $*:text:/^!((about)?poke)?\s?(\S+)/iS:#:{ 
  if (!$hget(poke,$nick)) {
    .hinc -mz poke $nick 3
    if ($regml(1) == poke && $regml(2) ison #) { describe # pokes $regml(2) }
    elseif ($regml(1) == aboutpoke) {
      .notice $nick This script was made by Matt.
      .notice $nick IRC vHost, Matt@Hiding.My.Identity.From.You.Stalkers
      .notice $nick Do not reproduce without my explicit permission. 
    }
  }
}

on *:TEXT:*:#: {
  if (!$hget(p,$nick)) {
    hinc -mz p $nick 5
    var %x = $strip($1-)
    goto %x
    :!poke
    if ($2 ison #) .describe # pokes $2-
    halt
    :!aboutpoke
    .notice $nick This script was made by Matt.
    .notice $nick IRC vHost, Matt@Hiding.My.Identity.From.You.Stalkers
    .notice $nick Do not reproduce without my explicit permission.
    halt
  }
  :%x | return
}

/timer 0 0 msg # !poke user

maybe add some kind of flood pro to this. Also maybe check to see if $2 is said...
