Milliseconds
|
Hi
I'd like to start a timer upon me using a specific channel, and record how many seconds and milliseconds it takes for a reply to be recieved, is there some way to achieve this?
eg. somebody replies "blue" in 3.456 seconds |

Hmmph, can't seem to get the %float function to work, so it'll report in milliseconds.
#TR {~[Trivia~] Foam:} {start = %secs}
#TR {~[Trivia~] (%w):*blue} {#SHOW %1 answered in %eval(%secs-@start) ms.}

How would i go about scoring, ie taking the name of the correct answerer (if its the first time they have answered correctly) and adding 1 for each time (adding to a existing variable i can do *heh* making a new variable on the fly..... i have no idea), so i can spit out the scores every 10 questions or so, like:
bob is on 3, jill is on 1
Oh and ow can i have it so a if statement comparing the tell recieved and the correct answer (which is in a variable) works for multiple word answers like:
the black forrest
Ignoring capitilisation of answers would be nice too *waggle*
I appreciate the help :) my coding tends to be of the long and messy roundabout variety :) and the scoring has me just plain stumped *blush* |

How would you deal with spelling mistakes? Or people that write the same thing in a different way?
I think that instead of having the script check if the person supplied the correct answer, it should be you who decides that and then you manually call an alias to update the score for the person that got it correct. Also, you could store the scores in a record variable where each key is the name of the person and the value associated with it is the score.

To grab ppl's names and store a value associated with that name, i'd use a database or database variable? I've been readin up on the helpfiles, dont understand how to code the scoring yet, but am i on the right track?

Yes, a database variable. Take a look at the commands under Database Variable Commands and most of the functions under Database Functions in Command Reference and Function Reference respectively, in the help file.
A basic example:
#VAR scores ""
#ADDKEY scores Kjata 5
#ADDKEY scores Foam 7
#SH @scores.Kjata
#ADD scores.Kjata 1
#SH @scores.Kjata
