help again please..!!

[^DooM^]

Hi again this bit of script is really starting to annoy

I'm trying to get my bot to display a notice saying "I'm not in #channel" when the user triggers the procedure. in my tcl i have set a channel which works great with the rest of the script when the bot is in the set channel. but when i remove the bot id like it to notice the user of the trigger when its not in the set channel.

Following so far? im glad one of us is

heres the part of my code which might explain a bit better..

Code: Select all

set keychan "#testchan"

if {[onchan $botnick $chan] != $keychan} {
        putserv "NOTICE $nick :$nick, I Don't monitor $keychan"
        return
    }

the error that is returned is this.

Tcl error [get_key]: invalid channel: #testchan

Thanks again. Jon.

Check out 'validchan' (explained in tcl-commands.doc)

Check out 'validchan' (explained in tcl-commands.doc)

i read the small explination in that doc which i didnt know existed till now. thanks basically all it said was that using validchan returns a 1 or a 0 depending if the bot is in channel or not which is what i need but it still throws up the same error as before when using it

Code: Select all

if {[validchan $chan] == "0"} {
            putserv "NOTICE $nick :$nick I'm not on $chan"
            return
    }

Then the error must be some place else. Did you read the entire error message? (while executing ...something...)

[^DooM^]

the bot doesnt die it just throws up this in dcc

[23:42] Tcl error [get_key]: invalid channel: #testchan

not to worry im sure ill get there in the end. thanks again for your help

proc getKey {chan} {
	if {![validchan $chan]||![botonchan $chan]} {return "I'm not on $chan"}
	if {![string match *k* [getchanmode $chan]]} {return "There's no key on $chan"}
	if {![botisop $chan]} {return "I'm not oped on $chan (i need to be to see the key :P)"}
	return "The key on $chan is '[lindex [split [getchanmode $chan]] 1]' :)"
}

Code: Select all

proc getKey {chan} {
	if {![validchan $chan]||![botonchan $chan]} {return "I'm not on $chan"}
	if {![string match *k* [getchanmode $chan]]} {return "There's no key on $chan"}
	if {![botisop $chan]} {return "I'm not oped on $chan (i need to be to see the key :P)"}
	return "The key on $chan is '[lindex [split [getchanmode $chan]] 1]' :)"
}

Of course, if there is a limit (+l) on the chan, and happens to be before the +k, then you will be returning the chanlimit instead of the key

Nope. (the key is always the second element if there's a key)

thankyou so much user.

you were right it was something else in my proc that i had that was throwing the error up. i had loads of usless stuff in it heh

i can tell im a newbie /me bows down

Seriously tho thanks again.

Jon.

p.s. (i also tested it with the limit and it still retrieves the key)

thanks for mentioning it tho i never thought to test that
