forgot about this post.

Yes willyw, that would make the ping reply proc output to the $nick

I also changed to

Code: Select all

unset pingchan($nick)
and it works great :)

There is an other way - as you can pass any data through the CTCP ping (the other side will return the data back to you), you can use this to keep track of who this PING belongs to.

In other words, if you send a "/CTCP <somenick> PING FOO", they will reply with "/CTCR <yournick> PING FOO".

Code: Select all

set pingspending [dict create]
set pingcounter 0

proc ct:pub:ping {nick host hand chan text} {
   global pingpending pingcounter
   incr pingcounter
   set who [lindex [split $text] 0]
   dict set pingpending $pingcounter nick $nick
   dict set pingpending $pingcounter chan $chan
   dict set pingpending $pingcounter who $who
   dict set pingpending $pingcounter time [clock clicks -milliseconds]
   putquick "PRIVMSG $pingwho :\001PING $pingcounter\001"
}

proc ct:pingr {nick uhost hand dest keyword text} {
   global pingpending
   if {![dict exists $pingpending $text]} {return}
   set data [dict get pingpending $text]
   dict unset pingpending $text
   set time [expr {([clock clicks -milliseconds] - [dict get $data time]) / 1000.000}]
   set char "="
   if {[expr {round($time / 0.5)}] > 10} {set red 10} else {set red [expr {round($time / 0.5)}]}
   set green [expr {10 - $red}]
   set output \00303[string repeat $char $green]\003\00304[string repeat $char $red]\003
   if {($ctping(msg) == "0")} {
      putquick "PRIVMSG [dict get $data chan] :\[\0030${colo}PING\003\] reply from $nick: \[\0030${colo}$time\003\] seconds $output"
   } else {
      putquick "NOTICE [dict get $data nick] :\[\0030${colo}PING\003\] reply from $nick: \[\0030${colo}$time\003\] seconds"
   }
}

Really interesting, I never tested this way to use ping (or probably other ctcp commands), it could help for some scripts.

Gonne read another time the rfc-1459 :)
