Estimated Wait Time

[Guest Glock]

Does anyone have anything or know a way to have the bot insert the estimated wait time when a user joins the chatroom?

 

Example: Hi [username]! Welcome to Helpdesk. Your estimated wait time should be less than [time] minutes. Number of people waiting for help: [number]

If anyone knows how to do this please feel free to post it here

This is an old joke script i made but has the features you are looking for... edit it as needed. ( haven't tested this in a long time but should work )

      if (%j.nohelp == $null) { splay $mircdirsounds\notice.wav | .timer.asda 1 2 nohelper $nick | set -u1 %j.nohelp on }
