Set

Sets the value of %variable to the specified value.

/set [-snzuN] <%variable> [value]

Switch	Meaning
s	Gives an output: * Set %var to value.
n	Treats value as plain text.
z	Decreases %var until it reaches zero and then unsets it.
uN	Unsets %var after N seconds, as long as %var isn't set again. If N is 0, it is unset when script finishes.

Example

set %fuu bar
set %moo [ $+ [ %fuu ] ] 42

This will set %fuu to bar and then set %moobar to 42, as the variable %fuu will first be evaluated to bar.

set -u3 %fuu bar

This will set %fuu to bar and unset it after 3 seconds.

set -s %fuu 3

This will set %fuu to 3 and give an output to the active window: * Set %fuu to 3
