Is there a way to count how many times something has been done i.e:

var %scount = 0
inc %scount

And increase it everytime someone joins a channel. I'd like to know how to make it so that I can count and reset how many people join each day to my channel. I don't mind it being ini either. I'm using MIRC.

All you need is inc %scount. This will automatically create a global variable that persists (if it doesn't exist) and will increment it by 1.

@Yawhatnever: Could you please, give me an example so for ex:

on !*:join:#:
{
var %jcount = 0
inc $jcount
msg $chan Welcome to the chat $1, you're visitor %jcount today!
}

@Yawhatnever: As well, a command to reset the var?

Yawhatnever - Jan 10, 2015

Sure.

on *:join:#:{
  inc %jcount
  msg # Visitor %jcount
}

The command to unset the variable is unset %jcount.

var %jcount = 0 creates a local variable which is unset immediately when the script finishes. To create a persistent global variable, use /set rather than /var.

I'm not sure how to do my code, but hold on; @Yawhatnever

on 1:connect:

 /set %jcount 0

}

on *:join:#:
{
inc %jcount
msg # Visitor %jcount
}

on *:TEXT:!resetjoin:#:
{
if($nick isop)
{
unset %scount
/set $jcount 0
}
}

Is this right?

No, there are a lot of issues with those little snippets. I'd recommend heading to http://en.wikichip.org/wiki/mirc/introduction and reading through as many of the articles as you can sit through in the basics category in the navigation pane.

Here's a little piece for resetting the count that would go with the exampe join script I posted earlier:

on *:text:!resetjoin:#:{
  if ($nick isop $chan) {
    unset %scount
  }
}
