User Detect Halt

on *:join:*:{
 set %users $read(text\users.txt,w,* $+ $address($nick,1) $+ * ) | set %cok $readn
 if ($nick == $me) {
 return }
 else {
 if (!$read(text\users.txt,w,* $+ $address($nick,1) $+ *)) {
   write text\users.txt $address($nick,1) $nick
   msg $comchan($nick,1)  new Member added ( $nick ) }

How can I make a halt on this code so if there is a join flood it will halt after 3 or 4 joins and not message the room with all the nick joins?

try this one

#Onjoinwritter on
on *:join:*:{
 set -u3 %Onjoinwritter. [ $+ [ $chan ] ] $calc( %Onjoinwritter. [ $+ [ $chan ] ] + 1 )
if (%Onjoinwritter. [ $+ [ $chan ] ] == 3) { .disable #Onjoinwritter }
 if ($nick != $me) && (!$read(text\users.txt,w,* $+ $address($nick,1) $+ *)) {
   write text\users.txt $address($nick,1) $nick
   msg $comchan($nick,1) new Member added ( $nick ) 
 }
}
#onjoinwritter end

Thanks Samooh works perfect

Super

How do you add a timer to this to turn it back on say after 5 mins or so?

#Onjoinwritter on
on *:join:*:{
set -u3 %Onjoinwritter. [ $+ [ $chan ] ] $calc( %Onjoinwritter. [ $+ [ $chan ] ] + 1 )
if (%Onjoinwritter. [ $+ [ $chan ] ] == 3) { .disable #Onjoinwritter | .timeronjoinwrite 1 600 .enable #Onjoinwritter }
if ($nick != $me) && (!$read(text\users.txt,w,* $+ $address($nick,1) $+ *)) {
write text\users.txt $address($nick,1) $nick
msg $comchan($nick,1) new Member added ( $nick ) 
}
}
#onjoinwritter end

Thanks Molson
