Right when you open it?
What's that suppose to mean?!

Do you mean when it connects to a server
after you have loaded/launched or restarted it?

Right when the bot connects to a server (Sry for being vague)

Sorta like the perform option in mIRC

If you want something like the mirc perform option which
will trigger when the bot connects to the server, you can
use something like this.

Code: Select all

bind evnt - init-server my:procedure

proc my:procedure {type} {
 global botnick
  putserv "PRIVMSG ns@services.galaxynet.org :AUTH <nick> <pass>"
  putserv "PRIVMSG Q :INVITE <#channel>"
}

What's with "global botnick" if you don't seem to be using it?

lol.
i bet "AUTH <nick>" was meant to be replaced with "AUTH $botnick" some day...

The copy/paste probably confused him

Na... I just like to declare a global variable
always do, when there is no global variable declared.

Seems useless, but gives the right majestic touch
to the procedure when you look at it.

I use this method always:

Code: Select all

$::botnick

awyeah · Post by **awyeah** » Fri Jul 02, 2004 4:30 am

Yeah you can also use $::botnick any global variable with
two :: between their $ sign and name will run the procedure
and you wouldn't have to declar the global variable.

But if you have alot of global variables it makes the script
look messy, hence I always restrict myself to use this method.

i agree.
what's more: if you are using some global var several times in a proc, global saves you some chars to type

Ok, I'm lazy. I can't be bothered typing "global blah blah" all the time. LOL

The difference betwen "global botnick" and "$::botnick" is that the $botnick variable in the first case is called when the proc is started and in the second case it's called just when it's needed. If I recall corectly this has been discussed before.. long time ago.
