onjoin script

[Cr0ntab]

hello i would like help with a rather easy(i think) tcl
i would like my eggdrop to send a notice on #channel2 if a user joins #channel1 and his nickname is NOT on a list that is in the tcl.
for example if this is the list in the tcl
{
nick1
nick2
nick3
}
and user nick4 joins #channel1 the bot will send a notice on #channel2

Give this a try:

Code: Select all

set list_of_nicks [list \
  nick1 \
  nick2 \
  nick3 \
]

bind join - "#channel1 *" check_join
proc check_join {nickname host handle channel} {
  if {[lsearch -exact $::list_of_nicks $nickname] < 0} {
    puthelp "NOTICE #channel2 :$nickname joined #channel1"
  }
}

Edit:
Added missing ".

well actually the bot crushed when i rehashed.i had to change [
nick1 \
nick2 \
]
with {
"nick1"
"nick2"
}
but it does not work.the notice is not beeing send to #channel2

It would seem you forgot/removed the list command?

Do you get any error messages on the partyline or in your logs? Also, please use the ".binds join" partyline command, and post the results here..

hi,

what nml375 forgot to mention is that with the code he posted the nicks from the 'list_of_nicks' variable is case sensitive, meaning that Nick is not equal with nick, nIck, and so on.

[nml375]

Caesar,
case-sensitivity is correct, yet that would only cause notices to be sent when an otherwize identified nickname joined the channel. Currently reported problem is that no notice is sent at all.

Now that I look a little closer, there is one " misssing, updating the code in a sec or two..

let me show u how i have made it nml375 and u can see why i dont get the notice:

Code: Select all

set list_of_nicks {
"Crontab"
"murder-"
"Diana"
} 

bind join - "#MIB *" check_join 
proc check_join {nickname host handle channel} { 
  if {[lsearch -exact $::list_of_nicks $nickname] < 0} { 
    puthelp "NOTICE #rfc1459 :$nickname has joined #MIB.Please Take A Look!
  }

crontab,
The error is most likely the missing " that I mentioned in my previous post. To be more specific, it should be added to the end of the 'puthelp "NOTICE ...' line.
