New to tcl, need help with a simple trigger script

Post by Luminous »

Hi everyone.

Just started using eggdrop a few days ago, and I am starting to get the hang of how the bot works. I am a novice at tcl coming into it, but I am trying to write some scripts to learn. Trying out very basic ones first... like trying to use public triggers to make my bot say things. But I cannot figure out to use actions like, for example "/me hugs $nick" when someone uses !hug. The way I would write that script is:

bind pub - !hug pub:hug
proc pub:hug {nick uhost chan hand text} {
puthelp "ACTION :hugs $nick"

Which doesn't work I've tried it several different ways... without the :, etc, but no go. :( It has to be close... If someone can help me to understand how to use actions in triggers, it would be greatly appreciated. :) Thanks in advance.

You should read the "TCL FAQ" part of the forum, it has alot of things that cover this. And I'd strongly recommend you read upon IRC Raws at least.

But good work. :) You can do actions with

Code: Select all

puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :\001ACTION $text\001"
There is a putact command provided by the alltools.tcl if you have it loaded, so you can use

Code: Select all

putact $chan "action"

proc pub:hug {nick uhost chan hand text} {

I actually ended up expanding mine to something similar doggo. :) i made it so that I can !hug to make my bot hug that person, or !hug <nick> to hug someone else. I'm slowly learning. :D
