Basic mIRC Scripting

**Mets08123** · 04-26-2011

Hello, I will teach you some simple scripts and other things with mIRC

What is mIRC?

mIRC is a client that is used to make "bots". They are used for Justin.tv and other things that allow IRC. The "bot" will be able to say and perform certain things on certain commands.

Everything in this tutorial is added to the, Remote Tab in mIRC

Basic Scripts

Your basic script will start like this:

Code:

on *:TEXT:

This command will have your "bot" do an action on a certain text.

So let's have our "bot" say "Hello I'm MetsBot" when the user types, "MetsBot"

Here is the code we would use: on

Code:

 *:TEXT:MetsBot:#: { $msg $chan Hello I'm Metsbot }

Now, every script where to "bot" says something when a user says a certain thing you MUST start it like this:

Code:

 { $msg $chan

The $msg starts the message and the $chan is for the IRC channel.

Now, let's make a script that greets EVERY user when they join the IRC channel.

The code will look like this:

Code:

 on *:JOIN:#:{ $msg $chan $nick Has Joined }

as you can see we started the code with

Code:

 { $msg $chan

Now, $nick will automatically place the users, "nickname" wherever $nick is.

How to Make a Script with Variables

This one is pretty basic, use this code:

Code:

 on *:TEXT:!kiss*:#: {
msg $chan $nick Pukers Up and Kisses $2- }

You have to start it like this:

Code:

 on *:TEXT:!kiss*:#: { $msg $chan

Here the $2- is whatever you put in place of the * So for example if you put, "!kiss Mets08123" the bot would say, "(your nickname) Puckers Up and Kissed Mets08123"

This is your basics of easy scripts.

More Advanced Scripts

Sometimes having the Join script gets the chat a little flooded, so we will create a script in which you will be able to disable it by saying, "!joinoff"

Here is the code to turn it off:

Code:

 on *:TEXT:!joinoff:#: { /disable #group1 } { $msg $chan Join Notices Turned OFF  }

Here is the code to turn it on:

Code:

 on *:TEXT:!joinon:#: { /enable #group1 } { $msg $chan Join Notices Turned ON  }

Now we have to set up the "Group" as you can see in this code the group is named #group1, here is how you would set it up:

#group1 on
on *:JOIN:#:{ $msg $chan $nick Has Joined }
#group1 end

In between #group1 on and #group1 end you will put the script you would want to disable/enable.

Your can change the #group1 to #group2, #group3 and so on for other things you want to disable/enable.

MAKE SURE THIS GOES AFTER THE DISABLE/ENABLE SCRIPTS!

How to Make it So ONLY moderators of the channel can do the command

You would use this code:

Code:

on *:TEXT:clear:#: { if ($nick isop $chan) { msg $chan /clear }
  else { $msg $chan $nick You Can Not Clear the Chat! }
}

You would have to start the script like so:

Code:

 { if ($nick isop $chan) { $msg $chan

The { if ($nick isop $chan) will check to see if the user is a moderator in the channel.
For the, else { $msg $chan , you will put what your "bot" will say if the user is NOT a moderator.

I hope this will teach you a thing or two about basic mIRC scripting! If you have ANY questions just reply to the thread and I will try and help you out the best I can!
