Wondering about botrequest

[LiquidIce]

Is it poissble for a eggdrop to use
set botnicks "gamebot-XX"

xx- bot number

gamebot-1
gamebot-2
and so on instead of having it read 30 botnames?

[awyeah]

Yes, see the .conf file for 'set nick'.

The character "?" replaces any /[0-9/] number.
For your demonstration:

set nick "gamebot-??"

Everytime the bot connects to a server, the last to "?" would be replaced by random numbers in between 0-9.

awyeah, read the subject and its text :p

He's asking if he can use something so it detects his bot rather than change his name on connect

[awyeah]

I do beleive I didn't totally understood what he mean't.

He's asking if he can use something so it detects his bot rather than change his name on connect.

Use something so his bot detects? detects? detects what? What's this got todo with the changing of a name?

Bot request ill have like 20 bots named CUG-1 through CUG-20

Can i do this :
# bot nicknames you wanna give out
set botnicks "CUG-??" << use it for all bot names starting with that. the ?? be numbers

instead of using:
# bot nicknames you wanna give out
set botnicks "[CUG]-1, [CUG]-2, etc.. "

[^DooM^]

Using botnick-?? will give your bot botnick-19 for instance it just picks a number at random as awyeah said. It wont be sequential tho as in if botnick-01 is taken it wont try botnick-02 unless your extremely lucky and the random number just happens to be 02

[awyeah]

Yep. Using botnick-?? will give integers from 00-99 randomly.

VIA TCL: If you want you can create a small loop and incr 1 each time the loop ends then change the botnick or store them in global variables for use.

Like use a do, while loop.
