The /dec command decreases the value of a variable by a given value. If no value is specified, mIRC will decrease the variable by one. The /dec command works with both positive and negative values alike.
Synopsis
/dec [-crszeuNk] <%var> [value]
Switches
- -s - Prints out the value of the variable
Global variables only:
- -c - Decreases the variable once per second
- -r - Decreases the variable once per second (same as -c)
- -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.
- -k - Keeps the unset time of the variable if it exists. Watch out, currently -k in /dec does not behave the same as in /set, as in, if you provide another -uN switch AND a -k switch, it will use this new unset time and won't preserve the original one.
Parameters
- %var - The variable's name
- [value] - Optional numeric value to decrease the variable by
Example
Alias Example { ;Create a local variable and set it to 10 var %x 10 ;Decrease %x by 5 dec %x 5 ;Print out %x's content echo -a %x }
