bot kicked/banned for flooding

Hi,

I use a public command script so people can check info about a online game they play.

if a couple of people use it at the same time, the bot will be banned for flooding the channel.

is there a script, or does anyone know how to make a script to make sure that the bot won't be banned for answering more users at the same time?

Nope. You could write one, though :)

Banned by whom?

banned by a bot that's put there to control the room.

It is put there by the owner of the server

Then add the "game" bot as a friend to it and won't get banned for flooding (at least it should).

how can i put my bot as a friend to the controlling bot?

the owner refused to set his bot so it won't ban mine.

Then make it send less lines or convince that guy to add it just as friend. If you add his bot to yours it will still get banned, anyway, see .help adduser, .help whois and .help chattr.

Is this info relevant for all people on the channel or only for the person hitting the trigger?

In the latter case, sends the reply to the person only. In the former case, add a check: the first time the trigger is hit, send the reply to the channel; the second time it is hit, if, say, within 2 minutes, send the reply privately to the person who triggered it.
