Gate Number Not Showing Up

Does anyone know why sometimes the gate number refuses to show up on some participants?

This is what happens:

For some participants it shows up normally...but for others, it won't show up at all. I've tried to echo it with these:

$remove($ial($1),$1)

$$ial($$1)$$)

$address($1,6)

and /auser gives an error also.

I know how to fix it once it happens..but I'm wonder if anyone knows what is the original cause of this? I'd like to prevent it, rather then fixing it after it happens.

Thanks.

mirc's internal address list ($ial) is filled when a user performs a command (i.e. sending text to a channel) or when you do a /who <channel> command. if $ial isn't always returning addresses for you, it's probably because you're not doing a /who when you join the room.

o, and a couple hints...

- $ial($1).addr works faster than $remove($ial($1),$1)

- $ial($$1)$$) ? that is nothing

your /auser error is probably an 'insufficient parameters' error caused by the fact that $ial is returning nothing.

Hi vex, you're right, it dawned on me after posting..I had turned the /who on join off earlier to do some testing and forgotten about it.

ty for the hints also

and $ial($$1)$$) actually reads $ial($$1)

I don't have a clue why I had added those $$ in there..but ty for catching that error, I'll remove them now.

how's the re-write coming along?

this problem is usually when you join after someone else and as vex said the mirc ial list doesnt update

on *:join:#: { who # }

if you want to make sure it def gets its list try this below

on *:join:#: { .timer.who 1 1 who # }

lol the rewrite.. well its sort of in the pre-planning stage right now.. i'm still brainstorming for it. ive come up with a few good ideas, like making it nearly impossible to flood it out, and being able to add sockread features without editing the con. still all in my head tho, im still kinda busy with 5x (not to mention my actual life lol).

i just spent 30 minutes in clearmsn fixing one of the most annoying things (in my opinion) which is that it leaves spaces in onjoin messages when it colorizes them. finally fixed it tho.

ty ozzy .

lol vex, you find time for a life outside of clearmsn??

have a great rest of the week

hey, another question..

what do the letters H or G mean at the end of the /who echo

I think the H mean that person it an host and I think G Mean that person has an gold hammer. Could be wrong..

has to do with whether the user is here or away.

H = user is here

G = user is gone

ty vex makes sense h(here) g(gone) lol msn.

ps molson the . @ are owner and host

/who wudda thunk it
