Beginner in TCL...Question

[mixx941]

Hi guys. I'm trying to get into TCL scripting to write something very basic for my Eggdrop bot.

I'm not a huge fan of mIRC, but I could do it in mIRC scripting. I'm trying to make something for when someone does !something in the channel, it will output a predefined string like for example

<MIXX941> !hello
<Bot> Hi, how are you?

I've looked at some TCL scripts, and this is what I tried, but it didnt work at all

Code: Select all

set hitrigger "!hello"

proc hi { target } {
global hitrigger
putserv "privmsg #channel :Hi, how are you?"
}

This is probably the simplest thing next to "Hello World", but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Code: Select all

bind pub -|- !hello hi
proc hi {nick uhost hand chan text} {
 putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :Hi, how are you?"
}

Is there something I need in the TCL script to start or end it? Right now I just have the TCL script being loaded and the code you put in it...but it does nothing when I do !hello.

Thanks

It worked for me.

Well I copied and pasted it directly, restarted/rehashed my eggdrop bot, and the command didnt return anything

[06:28] <Alchera> !hello
[06:28] <Bazza> Hi, how are you?

Nevermind, my bad. Bot must've been just laggy
