transfer of variables

Post by Buffy_25 »

Hi,

I have two bots in my channel.

Let's say the first bot is online and has some variables running (i.e. %school(%student)...how can i pass all those runned variables from my first bot, to my second bot when he islinked? (so transfering all the existing variables of %school to second bot)

Thnx.

Best regards,

Buffy

Code: Select all

bind msg - var add:var

proc add:var {nick uhost hand arg} {
global [lindex [split $arg] 0]
set [lindex [split $arg] 0] "[join [lrange [split $arg] 1 end]]"
}
when someone messages your bot var varname elements the bot will set a new variable with the name you specify in varname and add elements into it. Also it will be called globally so you can use it anywhere you want in the bot.
note that you can specify flags in the bind instead of "-"

You're welcome.

I forgot to tell you that when you rehash/restart, the variables will be deleted.

You also niglected to mention it is pretty damned insecure, even with flag protection.

I guess that if you give a custom flag and fixed masks into the handle such as *!ident@host. It won't be so insecure.

Besides, nobody has to know that you can add vars to your bot through msg command :P

He was talking about the bind msg - var add:var, as you can see it's for ANYONE not ONLY for known users. Replace the - with an custrom flag that suits your needs.

Caesar, Ppslim did say "even with flag protection" and I did say "note that you can specify flags in the bind instead of -"

Actualy yes, I understand now what he realy meant to say.. Well, that variables changing is realy damned insecure as he said. For instance, someone can change the owner of the eggdrop by just using that code. You got to be damn stupid to load something like that on your eggdrop. :mrgreen:

yeah you're right about that. But as I said before, nobody has to know that there exists such a command in the bot :P

Not telling anybody is a very idiotic way to look at security.

What would make more sence is to use what Tcl calls an array. IE, you only populate a single array, where the name is an array key and then the value.

Although chaging settings at will is still insecure, damage limitation is for more managable

From reading the initial problem... I don't even understand how the solution provided was remotely related to the original quandry...

I would have suspected a solution along the lines consisting of "bind link", "putbot", etc...

I never used those two, So I don't have any experiance with them to offer them in the solution. But, I'm sure there can be a better solution.
