[SOLVED YO] Help with a bind

[Hamish]

bind pub - ! random:stuff

But it only works when someone types !
I want it to work when someone types
!randomthing
!stuff
!lollllers
Basically when someone types anything after it.

[caesar]

Try with 'pubm' then.

Code: Select all

bind pub - !randomthing random:stuff

... etc

[Hamish]

Yes but there is lots of different possible !commands I could have. I used this:

bind pubm - "% !*" proc:stuff

And that worked.
But I need a way so I can store all the possible commands after that, I tried in a text file but It didn't quite work, can someone help?

You're better off using if's to test the input for specific keywords, otherwise people will type all kinds of random junk and you'll soon find your bot behaving badly.

There are plenty of example scripts for making triggers, using either a specific comamnd with pub, or using wildcards with pubm. Check the tcl archive.

[Hamish]

I made a list out of the possible triggers then used lsearch to check if what the user entered was a trigger.

But now.

I have two triggers:

bind pubm - "% !*" stuff:private
bind pubm - "% @*" stuff:public

But when someone types !something - It activates both procedures!

Also is there a command like, setchaninfo but to set a user's default info line instead of just the info line for that channel?

Sounds like you have some old binds left over from an earlier experiment.
.restart your bot to get rid of the old binds.

Here's another way to do what you're doing using an array (not tested as usual )

Code: Select all

# don't inclide the prefix character in the array keys
# because it is trimmed off in the stuff proc to allow
# having several prefixes for the same command
array set stuff {
	omg {what did your god do?}
	lol {what are you laughing at?}
	help {help yourself.}
	hello {hi there!}
}

bind pubm - "% !*" stuff
bind pubm - "% @*" stuff

proc stuff {n u h t a} {
	global stuff
	if {[scan $a "%*c%s" w]&&[info exists stuff($w)]} {
		puthelp "PRIVMSG $t :$stuff($w)"
	}
}


# to make it work with private messages, add this:
bind msgm - !* pstuff
proc pstuff {n u h a} {stuff $n $u $h $n $a}

Also is there a command like, setchaninfo but to set a user's default info line instead of just the info line for that channel?

Code: Select all

setuser $hand info "whatever"

EDIT: messed up scan pattern

[Hamish]

Dude, you rock!
Thanks.

Ok I did what you said but now when I type:

@trigger It simply does nothing.
!trigger Works great, ofcourse.
