what you mean from certain users ???

set flags in binds

isop & isvoice

if this answers your question plz read eggdrop doc file for more info binds are explained in there

I said exactly what I meant.
Is there any way to make a bot ignore public/channel text,
nothing to do with flags, I can handle that.

meaning you want to bot to ignore all text execpt your commands ..?

=> bind your commands to a flag and it will ignore all text or commands made by others !

i think i understand wrong why do you want to use it for ?

By default eggdrop doesn't do much with public/channel text. If your bot is responding to public commands then you have loaded a script. Unload that script if you don't like that.
If this answer doesn't cover your question then give a copy and paste of the eggdrop behaviour that you want to get rid of.

No, no one has understood what i meant.
yes i have my own scripts running that use public commands,
and this is not a bind issue/question.
i want to be able to make a specific bot ignore ALL public text,
like 'ignore' text from a specific channel,
almost like usermode +d, but not on all channels,
just specific channels i select or code it for
i dont know how to do this though, or i would have.
like i said, this is nothing to do with binds/flags

Can you define (in IRC/eggdrop terminology) the word "ignore"?

Then use the user defined channel flags - check the tcl-commands.doc file for "setudef" - and make it be *active* only on the channels that have the certain flag.

omg lol, I shouldn't have bothered asking.
I'm putting it as simple as I can.
I think you know what I mean by ignore.

Can none of you think of a way to create a
vote system where the bots simply ellect a main bot on that channel and then the others don't answer public commands, or just ignore all public text on that channel?

It appears you refuse to consider the answers given.

And no, I don't know what you mean by ignore. It is completely unclear from your statements. If I knew, I would not have asked. Not answering the question doesn't help a single bit.

Eggdrop by default does NOT answer public commands (not answering public commands appears to be your definition of "ignore").

If your bot does answer to public commands then it is through scripts which you have loaded.

So, if it is undesired that your bot responds to public commands you need to modify the scripts. caesar gave a first hint to that.
Or alternatively, don't load the scripts at all except for one bot.

Or you may consider linking your bots and have the bots talk to each other and decide which bot to react and which bots to shut up. You will need to write yourself a script for that.

Once again, it appears you want to stop some "undesired" behaviour. Without knowing the "undesired" behaviour or the "offending script", it is difficult to help you in the right direction.

well, forget it then, i have told you what i wanted to stop/do
and how i thought it could be done, which you confirmed,
and yet you still ask what i want to do.
if i could do it myself i would have, then we woudlnt
be having this conversation would we.

and yes i know what caesar said, which i'd already said about myself
in the post before his, anyway never mind.

lol... basically smds is saying this:
'NO I DON'T WANT TO UNLOAD MY SCRIPTS, I WANT THEM THERE FOR DECORATION, I JUST DON'T WANT THE BOT TO DO WHAT THE SCRIPTS TELL IT TO DO! UNDERSTAND?'

priceless... =p

smds · Post by **smds** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 8:39 pm

no, when there are 2 or more bots on a chan
that both respond to the same public commands,
say for example:

<me> saytopic
<bot1> the topic is: blah
<bot2> the topic is: blah

basically i dont want the spam, i want the two or more
bots on the chan to elect a main bot, and only that bot would reply
not all of them, and if the 'main' bot was to part the chan or die
the next bot in line would respond.
simple eh? lol

finally he says what he wants instead of speaking in tongues....

And this has already been answered for you... you will need to modify the scripts to use botnet communication to determine which bot responds to the command. You obviously don't want to 'ignore' the text, as there would then be no way for the bot to determing if it should respond to the public text or not.
