Adding a delay to perform.txt

[kev]

Hello.

I'm actually using Pchat 1.4 but thought I might find help here as I cant find it anywhere else. I need to add a delay in my perform.txt. Is there a method available to do this?

Basically, when I join gamesurge and auth with AUTHSERV (via my perform.txt info) my second line is "/join #channel". This happens so fast that this often occurs:

Code: Select all

* kev (~kev@xx.77.24.70) has joined #channel
* kev has quit (Registered)
* kev (~kev@Kevin.127-0-0-1.gamesurge) has joined #dkit


However, if (after I have connected to the irc server) I manually type "/join #channel" I don't get the first two lines that I've pasted above. I want that to continue happening but without the need to manually type in the /join command.

I have already tried using this "/set irc_join_delay 10" but it's no use because that is only the delay BETWEEN joining multiple channels.

Thank you in advance to anyone that helps,
kev.

Pchat and Xchat users. Adding a delay between connection and join channel commands is as simply as this:

Before -

Code: Select all

/join #channel

After -

Code: Select all

timer 3 join #channel

The "3" is the amount of seconds for the timer to wait. Also, remember to drop the / in /join.

There's a neat page for /TIMER @

Code: Select all
