and chance it to something like set usern [right 9 0] idk I couldn't find the tcl argument to do that anywhere. I want to just be able to take the first 9 letters of their nick / line0 in text.
but if anyone knows a way to increase it from 9 using stormbot that would be great ( my nick len in eggdrop.conf = 30 )
nick length is not the same as handle length... Handle length is limited to 8 or 9 characters by default. This should not cause a problem with the bot recognizing the user. If you still feel you need a larger handle length, search the forums for "handlen".
