/dec [-cszeuN] <%var> [value]

Switches

• -c - Decreases the variable once per second
• -s - Prints out the value of the variable
• -z - Decreases the variable every second until it reaches zero at which point the variable will get removed.
• -e - Unsets the variable when mIRC exits
• -uN - Decrease the variable once and unsets the variable after N seconds.

Parameters

• %var - The variable's name
• [value] - Optional numeric value to decrease the variable by

Example
