Bot response to his nickname

set bnick "bot"

set frases {
{egghelp rules!}
}

bind pub - "$bnick" pub_falar

proc pub_falar {nick uhost hand chan text} {
 global frases
 set frasedizer [lindex $frases [rand [llength $frases]]] 
 putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :1»4»5 $nick 4«1«:2 $frasedizer"
}

This is a nice script for making the egg talk when someone speaks his name... but only works even his name is in the beggining of the sentence. how can I change it in order to work for the name in any place of a sentence?

change bind pub - "$bnick" pub_falar to bind pubm - "* $bnick *" pub_falar

erm... I tough of that too....
now it just replies when someone types

Code: Select all

* $nick *

Perhaps it is another way...

No, this should reply on "<whatever> bnick <whatever>" so '*' is considered <whatever> too.

erm... weird, but now it works...
perhaps I had copied it wrong or something...

by the way, why pubm and not just pub?

Thanks a lot for the help!

/me throws a cold beer!

Read tcl-commands.doc (/doc dir in your eggdrop's dir) about pub and pubm.
