Simple Coding Help Please

[Ee-Ore]

Hi there, bit new to TCL although an accomplished coder.

Im looking through the document tcl.doc, which i found on the egghelp.org website, only somethings not quite right!

In my conf file i load the script im writing successfully, confirmed with a PUTLOG message.

All thats in the script atm is...

Code: Select all

putlog "Response Script Loaded"

bind pubm - hello pubm:hello
proc pubm:hello {nick host handle chan text} {
        puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :Hello $nick"
}

which is an exact copy from the document, yet my eggdrop doesnt respond to it, anyone with any ideas ?

Thanks for your time,

Ee-Ore

Try this code:

Code: Select all

bind pub - hello pub:hello 
proc pub:hello {nick host handle chan text} { 
        puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :Hello $nick" 
} 
putlog "Response Script Loaded"

ok that worked - and thanks for the help...

Can you explain why that worked? I though the PUB was for commands only ?

I though the PUB was for commands only ?

no, "pub" just means that something said on the channel should be triggered

hum ?
pub is really for command-like message, so it take the first word as a command and the staying text as args.
pubm is to match any word in a line, but it's better to use it like:
bind pubm - "*hello*" pubm:hello

excellent - all working now - and moving along at a steady pace
