Auto-Reply private messages

[Sloop]

Hi @ll,

I cannot find a script which does following:

When someone sends me a private message, I want my bot to reply after a certain period time (for example after 20 seconds) with pre-defined messages, which randomly will be choosed. I tried the botaway script, it works fine with all my pre-defined away-messages, but the bot does NOT reply to the user, if he gets a private message.

Can someone help?

Tnx in advance,
Sloop

If you mean "when someone sends the bot a message" then this should do it:

Code: Select all

# delay time (seconds)
set areply(time) 20

# replies list
set areply(list) {
 "foo"
 "bar"
}

bind msgm - * delayed:reply

proc delayed:reply {nick uhost hand arg} {
 global areply
 utimer $areply(time) [list puthelp "PRIVMSG $nick :[lindex $areply(list) [rand [llength $areply(list)]]]"]
}

[Sloop]

Thanks for the code, but how do I implent that in my eggdrop bot?

I created a new file "autoreplymsg.tcl" in my scripts/ directory and entered your code and altered it with my desired messages.

I logged in with telnet and did .rehash but it doesn't seem to work. When I /msg my bot I don't get a reply??

What am I doing wrong?

you probably missed to source scripts/autoreplymsg.tcl in your config

EDITED: NOW IT WORKS!!! MY FAULT, I MESSED SOMETHING UP! TNX AGAIN TO YOU!!!!

No, I DID that. I also attached to your code on the bottom:

putlog "Autoreply to private messages - script loaded"

And when starting eggdrop I get this message as well, that means the script was loaded. But when I send a /msg to my bot I do not get the reply.

You can also place it in your .conf file, in a new line at the end of the file. To your surprise it will work there as well.

Not sure why it doesn't respond, the code looks fine to me. Try replacing "puthelp" with "putquick" if not then, then try removing the utimer and testing it without a utimer.
