random messages???

[matt2kjones]

Just a question

But can you have the bot say a random message every hour or so???

if so, how??

if you cant, is there a script u can have the bot load to do this?

Thanx

The eggdrop itself won't do that but it should be possible to write a script that will perform these tasks.
I haven't ever used such a script or even just searched for one, but if I'm not completely wrong, I have seen scripts like that before.
Have a look in the scripts archive here of try this url:

set rand(chan) "#channel"

set rand(msges) {
"this is a random msg"
"still a random msg"
"another random msg"
}

bind time - "00 * * * *" rand:msges

proc rand:msges {min hour day month year} {
global rand
putserv "PRIVMSG $rand(chan) :[lindex $rand(msges) [rand [llength $rand(msges)]]]"
}

This is only for 1 channel..

cheers, but where do i put that

do i put it in a seperate file and then have that file loaded in the bots config file???

Thanx

yes, cut&paste it in to for example timedmsg.tcl which you put in your main eggdrop directory, then in your bots config file you put
"source timedmsg.tcl"
without the quotes.

then to finish off the job do a .rehash in telnet/dcc

Other options include using the many anti-idle script available.

ok this will go to everyone in the channel yea? not just registered users of the bot

set rand(chan) "#thedigitaldream"

set rand(msges) {
"This is a message"

}

bind time - "30 * * * *" rand:msges

proc rand:msges {min hour day month year} {
global rand
putserv "PRIVMSG $rand(chan) :[lindex $rand(msges) [rand [llength $rand(msges)]]]"
}

is that correct???

the channel is #thedigitaldream and i want it to show a message every 30 mins

yes, but you may probably want to remove the *space* from the 'set rand(msges)'..
