Need bot to change channel modes

Right, I removed that part (that gave invalid outputs) and did as you suggested -- I'll try Puthelp now.

As to the rest, i'm getting this error on eggdrop 1.6.9, so either I can't use 'need' as a valid bind, or I'm doing it wrong. How do I go about using what you suggested -- the 'set #chan need-invite'?

Hi

Also are you _sure_ that you have to do prefix each message to chanserv with chanserv? What you have in your script

Code:

putserv "PRIVMSG chanserv :chanserv set #channel MLOCK OFF"

will give an output like this: msg to chanserv: chanserv set #channel MLOCK OFF? Also I suggest using 'puthelp' instead of 'putserv' for messaging the chanserv since it's has a better/faster que.

means you're running an old bot. upgrade to 1.6.x or use channel set #chan need-invite yourproc for each chan.

Gah. After looking around, I came up with this:

bind need - "% invite" need_invite
proc need_invite {#channel invite} {
putserv "PRIVMSG chanserv :chanserv Identify #channel "
putserv "PRIVMSG chanserv :chanserv set #channel MLOCK -i"
putserv "PRIVMSG chanserv :chanserv set #channel MLOCK OFF"
putserv "JOIN #channel"
return 0
}

Which I _think_ should work, but my eggdrop (every time I run it) says that 'need' is an invalid 'type'. Does this mean that my script is bad, or that eggdrop is incorectly compiled? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hm. I tried that, but it's too many characters for need-invite.

I've read something about binding procs if you need to, and I guess that's what I need to do. Can you point me to a webpage that will show me how to do this? I can't find anything myself. >_<

you don't want to use init-server for this. you want to be using need-invite (or bind need).

I'm building a bot for a friend and I've come across a problem I can't figure out how to solve.

He wants the bot to be able to re-join the channel if it peers, but the channel is set to +i. Is it possible to have the bot (with the founder password) set the channel to MLOCK -i, join, and then remove the MLOCK?

When I try to create a script for it:
set init-server { putserv "PRIVMSG chanserv :identify #channel "
putserv "PRIVMSG chanserv :SET #channel MLOCK -i"
putserv "PRIVMSG chanserv :SET #channel MLOCK OFF"
putserv "JOIN #channel" }

Then the error comes up that there's either a missing " or there's text after a ". I know that this is a security hole, but the friend wants the bot to do this, and the server's very low profile, but I can't get this to work. Am I doing something wrong?
