set nick doesn't work

Hey all,

got a problem here:

set change_to "Sjaak"

bind part -|- * keepnick:part
proc keepnick:part {nick uhost hand chan reason} { keepnick:check $nick $chan }

bind nick -|- * keepnick:nick
proc keepnick:nick {nick uhost hand chan newnick} { keepnick:check $nick $chan }

proc keepnick:check { nick chan } {
  global change_to
  if {[onchan $change_to $chan] == 0} { 
    set nick $change_to
    putlog "Nick: $change_to"
  }
}

i want the bot to take my nick when i leave the server.
so i wrote this code.
but the: set nick $change_to
doesn't work and the putlog does.

on the artyline i can type .tcl set nick Sjaak, and that works fine..

anyone an idea?

Thx

well, I doubt that will work that way, because part and nick will trigger before the chanlist is updated so your check will always be false. you could do a workaround by using utimer 1, but that would slow down reaction speed. So best you directly compare $nick to $change_to.
btw you probably meant to add nick to global list and take a new name for the one in the arg list.

thx for the quick respone.
it does work, the putlog is executed so it should als execute the set nick

i added nick 2 the global list. but now i get an error on the party line:
Tcl error [keepnick:nick]: variable "nick" already exists

Since I already knew you would make that mistake I explicitly told you...
