script to send notice that @nickname trigger don't work

Bytez · Post by **Bytez** » Thu Aug 28, 2003 2:04 pm

Hi, my bot sits in a channel where there are people serving with the @nickname commands such as autoget, omenseve, sdfind. Many times, a user does @botnick @botnick2 Is there a script that will send a notice to the user saying that the nick is not sharing when the user types @botnick @botnick2, etc etc.? Thanks.

read tcl-commands.doc for pub binds.

this is a basic script:

Code: Select all

bind pub - @$botnick reply:share

proc reply:share {nick uhost hand chan arg} {
 puthelp "NOTICE $nick :I'm not sharing any files."
}

So, I can just copy and paste the code and name the file with .tcl extension and it'll work?

yes, put it in a .tcl file in the eggdrop's /scripts directory

then in your eggdrop's .conf file add the line source scripts/script-name.tcl

thanks for the code, but often times, i have to rehash for it to work? I'm using this script on 3 bots on my botnet. Is there any extra lines/code to make it more robust?

You will always have to "Rehash" your bot if you add new tcl's. as for being more robust? Usually the simpler the script the more stable it is. Or maybe i dont quite get what you mean

I have to rehash sometimes after I rehash it for the first time. It only happens to this one botnick using it, and it was the last user that I added the script to.

what's pub binds? Also, when I typed @ by itself on the channel, ALL my bots with the script loaded sent me a notice with a mesage. How can I fix this and also add some flood settings? I really appreciate it, maybe it should be in the TCL archives... I'm sure many people would use this esp. on fserv channels. Thanks!

well it shouldn't reply on @ it should reply to @<botnick> , as for the pub bind, read tcl-commands.doc in the /doc dir of your eggdrop's dir.

I only typed @ and all of the bots with the script loaded sent me a notice. If i type @botnick only that bot will send me a notice so there must be something up with the code.

Works fine for me. Only replies to @<botnick>... No notices when I just type "@"...

Thanks Sir_Fz....

how many bots did you load your script on? I loaded on all 8 bots on my botnet and they reply when I type @

Sir, could you tweak the code? Thanks so much.

are u sure you have the pub bind @$botnick ?
it won't reply to @ unless the bind is bind pub - @ reply:share

so make sure it's bind pub - @$botnick reply:share

my code seems fine:

bind pub - @$botnick reply:share

proc reply:share {nick uhost hand chan arg} {
puthelp "NOTICE $nick :I'm a robot, NOT sharing files!"
}

One possibility is that you entered the code wrong initially, changed it, rehashed (instead of restarting), thus leaving the original incorrect bind in tact and still usable...

Another possibility is that you loaded the bot from scratch and when doing so, the bot has not yet connected to irc, and botnick may be "" (empty), thus meaning that the bind would just be "@".... If this is the problem, then a better bind would be bind pub - @$nick <proc> instead.
