Question about Limit.tcl

Post by **Sir_Fz** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 7:30 am

If i set:
set cl_timer 0.5

will the eggdrop check for limit every 30 seconds ? or it won't work ?

Use 'utimer' for seconds. timer/utimer only accept integers.

EDIT: btw..i've no idea what's used in the script you're talking about (I suddenly realized i was in the wrong forum

)

EDIT2: since you're posting in this forum you mean "chanlimit.tcl", right? I checked now and it's using 'timer', so you're limited to whole minutes.

Ok, I changed the timer $cl_timer cl_dolimit to utimer $cl_timer cl_dolimit
and I set cl_timer 30
this should make it check every 30secs right ?

Yes, but it will also make the check for running timers fail and you'll have multiple timers running if you .rehash.

Ok it worked. but how can i fix the checking for running timers ?

well, I guess if i put this topic in the tcl scripts forum there would me more help. why's don't ppl check this forum as well

so does anybody have any idea on how to make the script keep checking for utimers ??

I haven't been inclined to assist because chanlimit.tcl wasn't designed for extremely low margins in terms of both the interval and limit setting. I consider it a bit of an abuse of the feature -- too many channels these days are pointlessly flooded with +l changes.

If the reason for setting such a frequent interval is problems with low limits being set after netsplits, you might want to try increasing the wait-split setting in your bot's config file. Unless the behaviour of [chanlist] has recently changed, the bot will still count split users as if they were on the channel, and only splits that last longer than wait-split will cause a problem.

well, actually no.
its not because of net-splits. but the channel the bot is in may have more than 6 join in 1 minute (and i have the limit set to +6), so I don't want the channel to get full, that's why I want the bot to check for limits every 30seconds.

thank You
