Writing something with a delay

[darton]

Hello!
When somebody in the channel writes a certain command, my bot should write something back and after 15 seconds a second message. So I made this script but there must be something wrong, because an error occurs: "can't read "chan": no such variable"

Code: Select all

bind pub - !test test
proc test {nick uhost hand chan arg} {
putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :Test"
utimer 15 { putserv "privmsg $chan : Test" }
}

[demond]

the utimer script executes outside the proc context, therefore $chan is not available for evaluation at execution time

the usual solution to this problem is to force evaluation of $chan inside the proc:

Code: Select all

utimer 15 [list putserv "privmsg $chan :test"]

OK, thank you. It works.
