Current console channel

[arfer]

Can you tell me how to find the current console channel name programatically.

ie. The IRC channel that the bot would output a .say command to

[spock]

Code: Select all

set c [lindex [console $idx] 0]

[arfer]

Cheers spock ... spot on

On second thoughts this doesnt seem to work

It notifies of leaving partyline, but not joining

Perhaps [lindex [console $idx] 0] is meaningless if i'm not already on the partyline

Can anybody help?

# is notify off (0) or on (1) by default
set vNotifyStatus 1

bind CHON -|- * pNotifyOnline

proc pNotifyOnline {hand idx} {
global vNotifyChannels
global vNotifyStatus
if {$vNotifyStatus == 1} {
set vDefaultChannel [lindex [console $idx] 0]
putserv "PRIVMSG $vDefaultChannel :[hand2nick $hand] \([getchanhost [hand2nick $hand]]\) joined the partyline \(idx $idx\)"
}
}

bind CHOF -|- * pNotifyOffline

proc pNotifyOffline {hand idx} {
global vNotifyChannels
global vNotifyStatus
if {$vNotifyStatus == 1} {
set vDefaultChannel [lindex [console $idx] 0]
putserv "PRIVMSG $vDefaultChannel :[hand2nick $hand] \([getchanhost [hand2nick $hand]]\) left the partyline"
}
}

This must be a bug or due to lazyness...the console channel is reported to be "***" in a proc invoked by a CHON bind. As a workaround, use CHJN instead. (make the mask "0" if you only want to monitor people joining the partyline)

Thanks but I can't seem to get CHJN to work in the script as it currently stands, perhaps because there's a limitation on the flags allowed (one of *, +, @, %)

I'm not sure I follow this exactly. Would a flag setting of * mean that it only reports owner as having joined the partyline?

That's not flags...that's the flag argument passed to the proc invoked by the bind...check '.help whois' for a list of flags. Use "-" in the bind to make it trigger no matter who joins the channel. (You did notice the number of arguments is differen, right?)
