A weird problem: My bot doesn't op anyone!

[KNude]

My bot has a weird problem: It doesn't op anyone!
I'm not a total newbie, so the users who should be opped have +ao flags on the channel that I want them to be opped. I also know that my bot identifies the users very well. Still, no one gets ops, not even me (I have all the possible global flags there are)!

When I type
.op Jack
in the DCC Chat window, everything works fine (unless the nickname of this user is more than 9 characters long.)

The eggdrop version in question is 1.6.17 and the config file version is probably 1.6.13 or something like that, I can't remember exactly.

Try doing .chaninfo #channelname
probably you have -autoop set
do a .chanset #channelname +autoop and see if that solves your problem

Thanks for the reply.
I indeed had -autoop set, but unfortunately changing it to +autoop didn't work.

Any other suggestions?

Well, you can always make tcls.
They can trigger in dcc (partyline), in channels and in private messages/notices.

For example, type this in DCC:
(Check if dcc:tcl has a comment, '#' infront of its unbind in .conf file)

Code: Select all

.tcl putserv "MODE #channel +o nick"

Replace '#channel' and 'nick' by the actual channel and nick you want to op. Also make sure the bot is opped.

Similarly you can load tcls into the bot, to make it perform what ever you want it todo. For example binding join on a channel, checking users for flag "o" and auto-oping them or voicing them by checking flag "v" etc.

Maybe the problem is aop-delay. Try; .chanset * aop-delay 0:0

Code: Select all

bind JOIN - * join:op

proc join:op { nickname hostname handle channel } {
                if {[matchattr $handle |mnov $channel]} {
                    putquick "MODE $channel +o $nickname"
                } elseif {[matchattr $handle |o $channel]} {
                    putquick "MODE $channel +o $nickname"
                } elseif {[matchattr $handle |v $channel]} {
                    putquick "MODE $channel +v $nickname"
                }
}

This is what i took from my Q bot script but i assume it should work fine for you too. It only ops people with flags IN the channel but it would op anyone with an global op flag if you change

Code: Select all

} elseif {[matchattr $handle |o $channel]} {
                    putquick "MODE $channel +o $nickname"

into

Code: Select all

} elseif {[matchattr $handle o|o $channel]} {
                    putquick "MODE $channel +o $nickname"

We can compress this further to:

Code: Select all

bind JOIN - * join:op

proc join:op {nickname hostname handle channel} {
 if {[matchattr $handle |mn $channel] || [matchattr $handle o|o $channel]} {
  putquick "MODE $channel +o $nickname"
  }
 elseif {[matchattr $handle |v $channel]} {
  putquick "MODE $channel +v $nickname"
 }
}

Thanks metroid! I tried your script and it worked.

Why bother though awyeah, Its not like his bot is going to crash cause of some extra lines :p

[awyeah]

Yeah I know, but I like it to be smaller, as it takes less time for the bot to execute it.

When you have different statement conditions, but same outputs of some conditions please do utilize the logic gates such as AND or OR to sum up the conditions.
