Please help with Bot A and Bot B

therion · Post by **therion** » Thu Apr 04, 2002 1:05 am

I have a problem with 2 of my bots. I have a TCL script doing all those public commands like !OP !DEOP and I want Bot B to act as a backup for Bot A whenever Bot A is down Bot B will replace bot A's duty to carry out !OP !DEOP

How can that be possible?

I don't know if this may be right, but why not install that script into Bot B?

Anyone? I mean this seems logical.

I suppose you could use it on both bots and add a little code using [botonchan] to check which one to load, just an idea *shrug*

EdGei,

Yes I tried and both bots will like responsing to the particular user when they type !op !opme because I designed the TCL script to function in a way that, for example if they type !opme both bots will response like 'Sir, yes Sir!' I just want the Bot A to response and B as a backup service.

fudded, how to code that can roughly give me a guided on that?

As im learning TCL my self i wont embarass myself and confuse you with my code, but check out tcl-command.doc, the command i think you need is [botisop] not as i said in my last post.
Im sure that some guru will help better than me

Here is something from an old script of mine.

First you set the order of priority for the bots with

Code: Select all

set prefix_priority "BotA BotB"

Then you place this proc somewhere in the script:

Code: Select all

proc prefix_priority {chan} {
  global botnet-nick prefix_priority
  if {$prefix_priority == ""} {return 1}
  foreach bot $prefix_priority {
    if {[string tolower $bot] == [string tolower ${botnet-nick}]} {return 1}
    if {[set nick [hand2nick $bot $chan]] != "" && [isop $nick $chan] && ![onchansplit $nick $chan]} {return 0}
  }
  return 1
}

Finally, in the procs that respond to the public command, you place the following check where appropriate:

Code: Select all

if {![prefix_priority $chan]} {return 0}

This will stop the script at that point if another bot which has priority is present on the channel. You might want to return 1 in some cases, depending on the type of bind the proc is called from.

Also, you should replace "prefix_" with a name appropriate to your script.
