Making Scripts Channel Specific

[Diablo228]

I have numerous Game & Channel Management scripts loaded on my Eggdrop (v 1.6.19). Some scripts have in-built functionality for specifying the respective #Channel the script should work on, and some don't. My bot sits on two Channels. #Games and #Help. We have some geniuses who activate the games on #Help.

1) As a counter-measure I was wondering if there is a "bind" syntax that limits the commands to one specific channel?

2) Alternatively, could there be a 'quick proc' at the beginning of each TCL script to check if the commands are being issued in the right channel? I want this proc to be more universal in nature, rather than being script specific.

Would this work:

Code: Select all

set channels "#Games"
if {[lsearch -exact $channels $chan] == -1} {return 0}
else {
... execute rest of the script
}

Theoretically, I know what I want to do, but I am unable to implement it due to my lack of scripting knowledge. I tried playing around with "setudef flag" too, without much success. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi,

I had a similar problem and simply used:

Code: Select all

if {[string tolower $channel] != "#games"} {
   return
}

at the beginning of the "proc's".


Hope that helps,

If you only want your game to work in a single channel, the code provided by tueb is fine, but if you want a more flexible way to manage what channels your games work in, create a new channel setting using setudef:

Code: Select all

setudef flag nameOfTheGame

include the following snippet as the first line in any proc that needs to be limited:

Code: Select all

if {![channel get $chan nameOfTheGame]} return

and use .chanset #chan +/-nameOfTheGame to enable/disable the game in your channels.
