Challenge of the day.

By GoldFish on Jun 15, 2010

Honestly the most pointless script I have ever made (which is saying something). It lets people type !cotd (even in query ;D) to see the "Challenge of the day." type /cotd to set the challenge of the day. By the way, the * wildcard is so people with color scripts can still use it. It's not that significant though.

on *:text:*!cotd:?:{ 
  if (%cotd == $null) || if (!%cotd) {
    notice $nick No challenge today, sorry :(
  }
  else {
    notice $nick Challenge of the day: %cotd
    echo -a 2Cotd sent to $nick $+ .
  }
}

alias cotd {
  set %cotd $$?=Challenge of the day:
}

If you like to use a mass amount of if statements pointlessly, you might wanna experiement with goto (not the example shown in the help file), which you don't have to have mirc go through each and every one of if statement (they'll be unneeded) to process their routines.

There's nothing wrong with using the if statement, but not in an overkill manner. Make use of the && and || operator whenever you can.

You text event can be:

on *:text:!cotd:?:{ 
  notice $nick $iif(!%cotd,No challenge today $+ $chr(44) sorry,Challenge of the day: %cotd) 
  echo -a 2Cotd sent to $nick $+ .
}

Which saves about 20 bytes. Also, you should always be aware that such script runs the risk of being spammed or flooded. You should implement a trigger control just to be on the safe side.
