I wrote a script that makes the bot leaves after being kicked from a channel. Unfortunately the bot crashes right after being kicked. The same goes for trying to leave a channel after someone changes his nick. Does anyone know how I can get the bot to leave the channel after it is kicked?

You might want to send in a bug-report and hopefully it can be fixed in the next release. Read doc/BUG-REPORT on how to do so.

since he didn't mention what version he's running, i'd tell him to test on very latest version first (1.6.

Actually I run a Windrop, version 1.6.8. Hope that counts 2
And maybe someone has a script that avoids this bug or something.

uggh, windows. its probably 90% certain thats the cause of your error. if you can reproduce it on *nix then its a bug, otherwise its prolly just some wierd windows sideeffect.

I'll try it on Linux tomorrow (or maybe today if I have time). Let's hope it's Windows...

It's NOT a Windows bug, so I'll send in the error report this afternoon

I'm assuming that when you say "leave the channel" you mean "delete the channel", since just sending "PART $chan" shouldn't ever crash the bot.
Try putting the code in a timer so that it doesn't get executed during the kick/nick bind.
Code: Select all
utimer 0 [list channel remove $chan]
You might have to do utimer 1 instead of 0, but 0 should work.

I tried your suggestions, and now the bot doesn't crash anymore. Instead it prints this over and over again:

That sounds like another error. Maybe the builtin ident server that comes with windrop? Try it on linux again to be sure
