Hi, I was wondering if someone could make a script for me. I'm making
a bot for my private game server channel but I don't know how mIRC
scripting.
What I want to do is make a command like !assistance which pings all
the operators in the channel. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

You mean like a command that highlights them? Well, you could just
have all the ops add !assistance to their highlights, but if you
wanted a script to get their attention, you could do something like
this:

    on *:TEXT:!assistance:#yourchannel:{
        var %numops = $nick(#,0,o) ;get the number of ops on the
channel
        var %a = 1
        while (%a <= %numops) { ;enumerate the list of ops
            .notice $nick(#,%a,o) $nick is requesting assistance in
$chan $+ !
            inc %a
        }
    }

If there's a more elegant way to do that, it escapes me at a 10AM
where I have not yet consumed coffee.

EDIT: If you want to send the notice to all halfops and voiced users
instead of just ops, replace line 2 with

    var %numops = $nick(#,0,ohv)

I was going to paste something and realized it would've been terrible.
I'd just recommend Googling mIRC on TEXT event scripts and modifying
one. It's easy and a great way to learn.

This script works perfectly, thanks. But the other operators in my
channel all use Kiwi (and they won't switch to mIRC ;-;) so it doesn't
make a sound or flash when it sends the notice. Could you do it so it
queries operators instead?
EDIT: And maybe also a function so it queries ChanServ to timeban them
if they use it more than 2 times in 10 minutes, to prevent abuse

Users can ping ops using "PRIVMSG @#channel :message" which, in case
of mIRC, is preformed by the  /omsg command.

I don't understand what you mean. But what I wanted to make was a on
text script. When you say "!assistance" it sends a notice to all the
ops (look at the above comments, that script works). I wanted to add a
feature to it that timebans if one uses it 3 times within 10 minutes.
