Random Song Requester in radio channels

By miniCruzer on May 31, 2009

Random song requester for radio channels. Just save a list of songs in a text document and call it songlist.txt << Save to mIRC Directory

You should add the request trigger before the song in the text file. Eg.:

!r Artist - Song

Type /randsong will activate the script.

Change !r to your format.

you could just update the existing variable with the new value at the end

@ Ayon - Would this create the need for storing multiple values to one variable? How do I do that?

Respond

Ayon - Jun 02, 2009

if you want to ignore all previous requests you could try to store all $readn results in the %prev.song variable and halt it if the new readn is found in %prev.song

@ Ayon - I see! It works, but a few lines down it can still request the song two lines down. I test ran it, and it works better than before. Thanks for your help. I guess we could get extensive with a ton of variables. Setting variables for each new song. It'd be messy, and I'm sure there's a way around it, but... This method still works. Thnx!

something like this might work maybe...?

alias randsong {
  if $chan {
    var %temp = $iif($1,$1-,$read(songlist.txt))
    if (%prev.song == $readn) { echo -atg Error ... | halt }
    set %prev.song $readn
    msg $chan %temp
  }
}

Done ;)

I'd like to get it so it won't request the same song 2 times in a row. Just need to figure out where I can set a variable to be the last requested song, and if it comes out, it halts and echos error.

Nice one, Minicruzer. By courtesy of RusselB, you should add credit to him who assisted you making this script feasible.
