timers

[Snapple]

I have a command that I want to be repeated, that every 10 minutes it will send a message

Code: Select all

bind join - * join:join
proc join:join {nicka uhost hand chan} {
 if {[string tolower $nicka] == [string tolower mynick]} { 
    starta $chan
  }    
}
proc starta {chan} { 
   global botnick botChan
   putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :message"
      timer 1 [starta $chan]
}

that is the code,
when I run it
it says "too many nested evaluations (infinity loop?)"
on join:join
anyone know why? =\

That's due to your old friend "command substitution". The proc calls itself immediately and the value returned is passed as an argument to 'timer'. Try

Code: Select all

timer 1 [list starta $chan]

instead
