Right, but it was bitching about the previously untouched variable "not being an array" when I tried to set one of its members. unsetting the variable just prior to setting it was not an option because the procedure that set the variable was called several times to set different members - ...

Can I declare a variable as an array without actually writing anything on it? I want a global array to be initialized within a procedure, but if I don't initialize it outside the procedure when I try to initialize it inside it returns the "not an array" error. I'm using "global arrayn...

array exists was easy to find, but not info exists Thanks.

Is there a way to return (without crashing the procedure) whether a variable is set or not set? I need this specifically for array elements, but it would also be useful (and work in a similar manner) for normal variables.

I looked in the Tcl manual and could find nothing.

Thanks Sorry it took so long to reply, but I had to study for an exam these past few days, so I had no time for Tcl.

But it's still only a workaround for the bug. mafia_killplayer also uses mafia_echo and calls other procedures that also use mafia_echo, so such a workaround will be pretty hard to implement - I'll have to mess up my otherwise clean code by adding tests and globals all over the place. Still, thanks ...

I tried going around the valididx check in case of a disconnection but it doesn't work either - putidx returns invalid idx for all IDXs I think I understand what you mean. So should I make a queue, add messages to that queue in case of a disconnection and have a timer calling a procedure to output m...

As you have suggested, I added some putlogs here and there to try and narrow down the problematic code. mafia_echo has a check that uses the valididx function to confirm that an IDX currently exists before using putdcc on it. I added a putlog there, and as soon as someone disconnected, the partyline...

I know that they are being executed because mafia_killplayer and mafia_killcon both perform vital changes to variables and those changes are being performed. I repeat, ONLY the putidx commands in mafia_echo are ignored. I tested this exhaustively.

Either you don't understand or you aren't explaining yourself clearly. Just in case it's the former, here it goes: In bold are the statements the bot evaluates and executes. Imagine the player had the IDX 25 . SITUATION 1) .tcl mafia_line 25 "" if {$text == ""} { mafia_killplayer...

Like I wrote, all the other commands in the IF are executed properly when a user is disconnected - both before and after the mafia_echo . The ONLY thing that doesn't work as expected is the putidx having no effect. It doesn't even halt the script execution, it's just ignored as if the statement wasn...

Didn't know TCL supported escape ^^ Usually I include the actual characters in the script.

Aditionally, it may make more sense to replace that "o" with a "p" in the bind command.

I wrote and maintain a TCL with roughly 2000 lines that implements a game of Mafia to be played on IRC with multiple players (it runs on irchighway). The game is played in a telnet session hosted by the bot. Note that I will only paste here code snippets, often taken from different locations in the ...

In your eggdrop.conf, replace listen 55555 users by set myport 55555 listen $myport users Where 55555 is the port you want to use. Then add the following tcl: bind msg p !chatme sendinvite proc sendinvite {nick usermask handle chan text} { global myport putserv "PRIVMSG $nick :\001DCC CHAT chat...

They haven't, I restart and rehash the bot frequently.

Adding some characters to opchars seems to have fixed this issue for now. Any ideas on the DCC disconnection?
