Hi there, I want to check if my eggdrop is on a given channel. But whenever I try [onchan $botnick $chan] it returns an error, because the eggdrop checks this before he runs the script. Is there another possibility to check if the eggdrop is on a channel?

botonchan [channel]
Returns: 1 if the bot is on the specified channel (or any channel if
no channel is specified); 0 otherwise

Even if i check with botonchan $channel, I get this error message:

Tcl error [pub:channel]: illegal channel: #ddrb

Is there another way to check, if the eggdrop is on a channel?

first you have to check if the bot is even supposed t monitor that channel...

channels
returns: list of the channels the bot is monitoring (or trying to)

validchan <channel>
checks if the bot is monitoring that channel
returns: 1 if the channel exists, 0 if not

suggestion... read the tcl-commands.doc <-- the answer to alot of answers asked in this forum are in there... just seems like people don't bother reading it..

First, use the "validchan" comand, to test if the channel is being monitored by eggdrop (doesn't mean it's actualy ont he channel).

If this returns 1, then you can do a "botonchan" test
