Halt default output

[TomSommer]

Hi, I'm looking for a way to halt the default output...

like, if someone msg's the bot, it will be shown in the partyline, but I want to halt this (only halt some msg's) in my script, any way to do this?

[ppslim]

Yes and no.

it all depends what sort of messages.

Give an example of the messages.

[Iridium]

Code: Select all

    (17) RAW (stackable)
         bind raw <flags> <keyword-mask> <proc>
         procname <from> <keyword> <text>

         Description: previous versions of Eggdrop required a special compile
           option to enable this binding, but it's now standard. The mask
           is checked against the keyword (either a numeric, like "368",
           or a keyword, like "PRIVMSG"). from will be the server name or
           the source user (depending on the keyword); flags are ignored.
           The order of the arguments is identical to the order that the
           IRC server sends to the bot. The pre-processing only splits it
           apart enough to determine the keyword. If the proc returns 1,
           Eggdrop will not process the line any further (this could cause
           your bot to behave oddly in some cases).
         Module: server

Example: (tested)

Code: Select all

bind raw - "PRIVMSG" mycommand
proc mycommand {from keyword txt} { 
  global botnick
  if {[lindex [split $txt] 0]==$botnick} { 
   putlog "Blah | $from | $keyword | $txt"
   return 1
  } 
}

$txt is in the form:

Code: Select all

$botnick :text sent to bot

$keyword just contains "PRIVMSG"
and $from contains the full userhost of the person who sent the message

[TomSommer]

What I'm talking about is when somebody opens a query and sends a msg to the bot

Code: Select all

/msg [bot] hi, whats up?

This will be shown in the log/telnet as

Code: Select all

[16:52] [TomSommer!~tomsommer@sdnat1.dk-tv.net] hi, whats up?

But, my script responds to these msg's and so I don't need to see the raw log from the bot in the telnet/log... so I want to halt these default outputs

I really don't understand your code Iridium, because your code will still show the default output made by the bot when it receives a msg?

[ppslim]

See tcl-commands.doc for information regarding return values.

These will help you.

[TomSommer]

WOW, Thanks... Just what I was looking for, could you give me an example of the syntax to supress msg's?

[ppslim]

return <number goes here>

As I said, read tcl-commands.doc.

It has information on what return value you should give to log information, supress information, make eggdrop ignore it or make eggdrop continue prcessing the command itself.

[TomSommer]

I've read it.. and I've used return lots of times before...

But it has no effect on the log output...

[ppslim]

Have you tried using

Code: Select all

return 0

[TomSommer]

Code: Select all

bind msgm - * test

proc test {nick uhand handle text} {
return 0
}

should work? right?

Yes I've tried return 0

[Iridium]

My code supresses the bot's output..

[ppslim]

You should note, if you look in tcl-commands.doc, that it only applies to msg, and not msgm.

As for the raw bind, you should never use this tactic.

It will prevent any incoming PRIVMSG tagged as detined for the eggdrop.

This will include any CTCP or PRIVMSG commands.

This, people will not receive replies to CTCP ping, or DCC chats.

It defeasts the whole idea of allowing users to trigger commands, while not displaying a putlog line, as it will prevent both.

[Iridium]

Heh, I only meant it to be some example code.. I should have said that you should only use it if you choose what to return 1 on.
