idle time check

hi, how can i let the bot say something to the channel when a user talks after he was a specific amount of time idling? lets say 10 hrs?

check 'getchanidle' (returns the number of minutes they've been idle) every time someone says something.

i tried numerous scripts but all they do is do something after someone reached a specific amount of idle.

i need a script that says something into the channel when a user says something after he was a specific amount of time idleing in the channel.

Your initial post suggested you were going to code it yourself...why didn't you say you want somebody to do the job for you in the first place? Enjoy wasting people's time?

im sorry i didnt just ask in the first place. and yes i need someone to help me doing this. the idle scripts that are available dont do what i would want.

Code: Select all

bind pubm - * checkIdle
proc checkIdle {n u h c a} {
	# 600 minutes == 10 hours...
	if {[getchanidle $n $c]>600} {
		puthelp "PRIVMSG $c :Welcome back $n!"
	}
}

am i correct that the pubm is for pubm(essage) ?
also can you explain proc checkIdle {n u h c a} { ?

I read nick uhost h=hour? chan args

and kool, it works

yes...and you can include a channel name in the mask if you want to limit it to a particular channel and a flag to only let it be triggered by certain people...eg:

Code: Select all

bind pubm o|o "#yourchan *" checkIdle

would only be triggered by +o users in #yourchan (+o the flag, not the channel mode)
Remember to .restart or unbind the old bind manually if you change it.

the 'h' is 'handle'; {nick uhost handle channel argument}

i understand. yes i know of o|o. if im right o|o stands for o in chan & global. next time i really should read the tcl-commands.tcl. thanks user.

| means OR, not AND (&)

one last qustion, how would you add 2 other "if" variables to your if statement?

What do you mean? You want different messages depending on how long they've been idle?

Code: Select all

if {expression1} {
    action 1
} elseif {expression2} {
    action 2
};# etc..

like this: if {[validuser $hand] && [matchattr $hand o|o $chan]} {

& your if statement. I keep getting extra-character errors

"extra characters after close-brace"? you need spaces between words in tcl. Add some spaces and try it again
