$qauth alias

This is a $qauth identifier for QuakeNet. It uses COM objects and Windows Scripting Shell to perform a 'sleep' action in order to wait for data sent by the server. This sleep alias causes the alias not to be very usefull in events, however, the script also offers a solution for this problem.

; $qauth identifier. Will only work on QuakeNet. It will 
; first try to extract the Q auth from a users host, if 
; the user has usermode +x set. If it can't, it will then 
; attempt to get the Q auth from $ial(nick).mark. If the Q 
; auth is not set as a mark it will send /who nick n%na to 
; get the Q auth from the server. To prevent having to do this 
; more than once for each user, the Q auth is saved as ialmark 
; when it's received from the server.
;
; The sleep alias has one annoying side-effect. It prevents the
; identifier from working correctly in events. To go around this you
; can put whatever you were going to do in the event in an alias
; and use /timer 1 0 <alias>.
;
;
; A simple example:
; The following script might not work correctly.
; on *:JOIN:#help.script:{ echo -ag $qauth($nick) }
; 
; This will work guaranteed.
; alias echo_auth { echo -ag $qauth($1) }
; on *:JOIN:#help.script:{ timer 1 0 echo_auth $nick }
;
;
; Usage: 
; 
;  $qauth(nick) - Returns the qauth of a user or $null if 
;                 the user is not authed.
