Spurious partyline response

Thanks demond. I understand. I'm assuming that deliberately ending a proc with the statement 'return 0' will do the trick

exactly

that "spurious" line is actually a log message from the [bind pub] proc

a PUB bind logs the public command that has triggered it if the handler proc returns 1 (or rather non-zero) - and in the first case your proc implicitly returns non-zero, because the last operation is [set] with a positive number

in the second case, you moved that [set] and your proc no longer returns implicitly non-zero - in the absence of last operation that implicitly changes the return value, zero is returned by default and the public command doesn't get logged

However the following line is seen in the bot's partyline :-

<> !arfer! .test
...
Has anybody any idea as to what is causing this?

your console settings.

Spurious partyline response

I have an oddity with one of my own scripts. An oddity because, whilst there are no errors, there is a spurious message in the partyline upon activating a public command trigger. I have set up the following otherwise meaningless script to demonstrate.

set playing 0

bind PUB -|- .test pTestProc

proc pTestProc {nick uhost hand chan arg} {
global playing
if {$playing == 0} {
putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :$playing"
}
set varDummy 10
}

After typing .test in an irc channel using my usual nick of 'arfer', the script duly responds with 0 in the same channel. However the following line is seen in the bot's partyline :-

<> !arfer! .test

If I change the script slightly (in fact order the lines a little differently) as below, the script functions in precisely the same manner but there is no spurious partyline message.

set playing 0

bind PUB -|- .test pTestProc

proc pTestProc {nick uhost hand chan arg} {
global playing
set varDummy 10
if {$playing == 0} {
putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :$playing"
}
}

Has anybody any idea as to what is causing this?
