it can be like this too!!

 ON *:TEXT:!count:#: {  
  describe $chan --> the viewer count is: $+ $nick($chan,0)  
}

at least he took out the %c

you know when you download a mIRC some one made to use and it has all those scripts already on them

these look like those old mIRC script scripts

first of all you dont need to repeat that $1 is count

second if ur gonna put more snippets, take the first * out of the trigger

third, im confused why you put the $left

also like napa said, take out the halt

oh and drop the halt

you can just use

on *:text:!count *:#: {
  msg $chan 9Channel 9has 4 $+ ( $+ $nick($chan,0) $+ ) $+ 9 Users.
  Halt
}

you dont need to use wildcards on the on text
