Trouble with a ctcp join channel script

[mcdarby]

I'm having a bit of trouble, I'm trying to script it so that when a ctcp from a +A global flag user is sent to the bot that is "join #channel", the bot should set -inactive for that channel and join the channel. The script I have that doesn't seem to work is currently this and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong after I have tried a number of things.

Code: Select all

bind ctcp A|- "join-chan *" secallchan

proc secallchan {nick uhost hand dest keyword text} {
    set chantojoin [lindex $keyword 1]
    channel set $chantojoin -inactive
}

I suspect that the ctcp command must be one word.

the bot should set -inactive for that channel and join the channel.

While you can set channel options when adding a channel, it isn't necessary if you want -inactive, as that is the default.

Experiment with this:

Code: Select all

bind ctcp A|- "JOIN" secallchan
proc secallchan {nick uhost hand dest keyword text} {
	set chantojoin [lindex [split $text] 0]
	channel add $chantojoin
}

I tested it briefly, and it worked.

You can play around with substituting in these lines, for the current
"channel add" line:

Code: Select all

	channel add $chantojoin +inactive

Code: Select all

	channel add $chantojoin -inactive

I hope this helps.

Okay, there is something really wrong here, I tried your script and it seems to only work when I have -|- for the bind flag. Anything else doesn't seem to work even though I have the client added to the bot with the matching hostmask. Also doesn't seem to op the client when I put +n and +a global flags to it and have client join the channel the bot is op in. I attempted to reinstall the bot in case something is wrong, but that did not appear to fix it.

I really question that the bot recognizes you.

Try this:
Join a channel that the bot is in.
In the partyline, do:
.channel #channel
and view the results. Find yourself. Examine the info... if the bot recognizes you there will be a big N just to the right of the Join time, and left of the Idle time column.

Perhaps someone else will also jump in here with ideas for you.

Okay, after checking a few things including .channel to see who and what is being recognized as what userfile entry, it turns out I have to question how this eggdrop is reading it. Apparently, I have an A entry after an S entry showing up in .match * and I had an AllUser entry with *!*@* for the host and had +U to three different channels. I believe the reason I have that entry is because I was using the +U flag with another tcl script to kick ban on spammy links in certain channels while exempting those on my userfile. After temporary deleting that and re-adding that, which appears to put it at the end of the .match * output, it seems to fix the recognition problem. I have to check the .conf again and sees if there is an entry in it for alphabetizing the userfile and I may have to start using ZZ- entries if it is reading the userfile from beginning to end, to try to fix any conflicts.
