'k, let me point you in the right direction then:

(4) PUB
bind pub
procname

Description: used for commands given on a channel. The first word
becomes the command and everything else is the text argument.
Module: irc

This means, that when the binding triggers, will be called with 5 parameters (being nick user@host handle channel and text). Your proc must be able to accept these parameters as arguments...

In your case, your proc has only 1 argument, which you've called topic. Obviously, that's 4 arguments short of what bind expects, and more important, it's not the order bind expects..

Hence, bind calls the proc with the wrong number and order of arguments, and you get the error posted.

Solution?
Adjust your proc to accept the proper amount of parameters:

Code:

proc yourproc {nickname host handle channel text} {

Then adjust your proc to make use of these arguments appropriately.

Make sure the argument-list in the proc header matches the parameters passed when the binding triggers (see doc/tcl-commands.doc).

Also, you'll have to modify your utimer-command to pass the very same number of parameters if you intend to use that recursive calling. This would also have to be done in a safe manner, so I'd recommend using lists there.
IE:

Code:

utimer 30 [list command param1 param2 param3]

Teh script: http://pastebin.com/m2d5a0a1c

I get this error if i call the script with ?topic_status

error: Tcl error [topic_status]: wrong # args: should be "topic_status topic"

I have no idea how to pass the argument or a other method to get the topic title
