Annoucement Script

[funkymonkey]

Hi, I'm looking for a script that will make the bot produce a random quote, but only when the channel has been idle for a set amount of time.

I can see plenty of scripts to do random quotes, but havent seen any that only kick in when its a bit quiet.

Any help would be appreciated

Well, it's not that hard to make such script yourself, but you may even want to use one of the existing, then you might add following things:

set lastchanmsg [unixtime]
bind msg - "#yourchannel*" updatetime

proc upditetime {nick uhost handle channel text} {
global lastchanmsg
set lastchanmsg [unixtime]
}


This is all supposed to go outside any procedures... Now, find the procedure that actually prints out the quote and this immidiately after the procedure declaration:

global lastchanmsg
if {[expr [unixtime] - $latchanmsg] < set_some_minimum_idletime} { return }

This would be a very sloppy solution, but unless you can code TCL, it might be your only way out.

ARGH!
It is NOT:
bind msg - "#yourchannel*" updatetime

but:

bind pubm - "#yourchannel*" updatetime


Sorry, i was dumb or something...
