Lol Jethro. I do thank you for your help.

If by being a jerk warrants a like from me and suggestion to improve the overall snippet, I consider myself a good jerk.

Jethro no i wasn't being sarcastic

@itsover900 It doesn't suck, you just over thought it a bit. These guys are trying to show you that in a fun humorous way instead of being jerks and just coming out and saying it.

OIC. :< I guess it does suck. Meh. I don't care.

toclafane1, you sure you weren't being sarcastic by saying, "great script, thanks?" :/

great script , thanks

MoshMage, It was a show-off is all, and it didn't work for me because it was supposed to be a satirical example. Damn you, Dani. :p

Anywho, is that regsub alias a overreaction or a overkill? X) neat nonetheless

Oh. Ok

I was referring to the alias where you have to be on a channel to execute it successfully. If you try to trigger it in a status window, perhaps you're not meant to use it.

You have to be on a channel to ban someone, right? :/
No.

Thir, use mine at the very top of the comment section. I don't know why the check for channel is necessary. You have to be on a channel to ban someone, right? :/

Yes, I'm on my friends channel, and when I do "/tb someone 1 test", it says that "#test is not a channel.".

LMAO... I love the humor

@Jethro: Thanks for your advice, hopefully I'll take it and become better. As you can see, I don't know very much about mSL.
@Dani|11: I don't know/use/understand $regsubex,$regex,$regsub, etc, as I've never used them. Even regexp is a little confusing for me.
@Thir: Why is it showing that? What are you doing exactly? Are you on that channel? And who's are you using? Try Jethro_'s, mine might not work so well.

make it look advanced, intelligent and confusing.That's so nerdy. I feel disgusted, conniving and inferior. :(

Oh please, we're not in kindergarten.

No! You just don't get it! Just drop it, this thing is way too big for you. Once you're a super good msl scripter like jaytea or (you are pretending to be one like) jethro you will understand. Don't dig too deep. You do not wanna know this.

Because - What's the point in overdoing something. Yeah, I get doing it different ways, but no need to over complicate something, so simple.

You totally don't get it.... why should we make it simple if we could add all kinds of regsubex, iifs and more complicated stuff to make it look advanced, intelligent and confusing.

why not use something like

alias TB { mode # +b $address($3,2) | if ($2 > 0) { .timer $+ unban $+ $3 1 $calc($2 * 60) mode # -b $address($3,2) }

Oops my bad, it was !ison # not ison. Edited.

I think dani's code was made to mess with us. It's a parody.

Where on earth did jaytea pop up? :/

spoiler: Dani was joking.

does that actually work... Dani boi mind explaning the use of the calculation. isn't that more... oh I don't know long winded then just doing

elseif ($1 !ison #)  {
    echo -a $1 isn't on $chan $+ , therefore, you can't ban them.
  }

And the code still be as effective?

Edit: I input Dani's... and it doesn't even return with the fact that $1 isn't even in the chan.

Ummm. $active can refer to status window so you need to make sure: if $active ischan

EDIT - Never mind. I missed seeing the ison operator is used. :(

Shut up, Dani boi! :p

alias tb {
  if (!$1) {
    echo -a Forgetting a nickname? /tb <nick> <minutes> <reason> (Not required)
  }
  elseif ($1 !ison $chan) {
    echo -a $1 isn't on $chan $+ , therefore, you can't ban them.
  }
  elseif ($2 !isnum) {
    echo -a You have to specify a number, /tb <nick> <minutes> <reason> (Not required)
  }
  else {
    ban $+(-ku,$calc($2 * 60)) $chan $1 2 Banned for $+($duration($calc($2 * 60)),:) $iif($3,$3-,No reason specified.)
  }
}

That's not how you code jethro

alias tb {
  if (!$2) {
    var %a = Forgetting a nickname?|$&
      You have to specify a number,
    echo -a $gettok(%a,$iif($remove($regsubex($1 - $2,/(.*?) - (.*?)/,\n),-) > 2,4,3),126) /tb <nick> <minutes> <reason> (Not required)
  }
  elseif ($regml($calc((($pi * $1 + 512 / 301 * 3 - 32) * 0) +1)) !ison $iif($chan == #,$($ $+ $chr($asc(+)) $+ chan,5),#)) {
    echo -a $1 isn't on $($ $+ $+($chr(118),2),3) $+ , therefore, you can't ban them.
  }
  else {
    ban $+(-ku,$calc($2 * 60)) $chan $1 2 Banned for $+($duration($calc($2 * 60)),:) $iif($3,$3-,No reason specified.)
  }
}

thats how you code!

@SR... Jethro aready gave a script 99% like that. all you did was change $Chan to $Active. and added the if ($me is !isno active) actually you said actice. and for it to work he doesn't need to specify what channel. and hopefully they are on the channel they are using it on. your's is redundant to me.

Seems like good work. but as Jethro has said. Not worth the time to continually check the same identifier, checking if $1 is provided over and over, isn't worth the time it takes to do that.
