Bot send text via dcc chat to User(s)

[Elfriede]

Hi everyone

was wondering if theres the possibilty to make the bot respond via dcc chat on certain commands to users?

Meaning: !cmd whatever and the Bot reply's via dcc chat. Every User in the Channel should be able to do so. I need it like this, cause there are quite a lot lines to be sent and using dcc chat should be flood free.

Thanks for helping!

DCC would require a login.
Does everyone in the channel already have an account in the bot?
Are we assuming that they are always logged into the bot?

Question for you:
On whatever network you use, are querys (a regular private message - not DCC) flood controlled?
Test it, to find out.
If you can use a pm to do your job, then it becomes much more simple.

Well its my bot so log-in control is no problem.

And yeah, all messages are flood controlled ( Notice, ... ) .

You forgot to answer:

so I will just make some assumptions.

Go here:

and text search for
nick2hand
and read about that tcl command.

Next, go here:
http://www.eggheads.org/support/egghtml ... ml#dcccmds
and read about
hand2idx

Using them, and some other often used tcl, I think you could put together something that would do what you asked for.

Thanks for your support! Trying to script this on my own

Excellent!

Let us know how you progress.

If you run into an insurmountable snag, if you wish you can post what you have here:

and perhaps we can have a look at it with you.

Bonus:
That particular pastebin does TCL syntax checking - it might help you debug your code.
