command queque

Hi, i have a script that gives info about my bot in this way:

putquick "PRIVMSG $nick : Aiuto sui comandi del bot "

The problem is that if two or more users ask for the help typing the relative command, the bot gives the info first to one user and then awaits for the script to end before giving the same info to the second user, creating a queque.

I.E., if there are many people onchan this is quite annoying for one to get help.

Is there anything to try, maybe in a different way of doing it ?

Thanks

PS i'm not so smart with tcl

Since eggdrop is not multithreaded, this can't be avoided.
While one script invocation is running, no other triggers will be processed (instead queue'd). I'd suggest you look into why your script apparently takes such long time to complete..

before all, thank u.
the reply is simple enough for me:
the help scripts gives a list of all the tcl commands loaded on my eggdrop and each message is a putquick, and they are clearly too many.

I' m going to work on it, trying to reduce the number of putquicks.

Bye
