Hard to say what a fault is if it doesnt exist anymore.

Possibly a channel mode preventing output to the channel. For example +M if the bot had not identified would prevent it outputting text to the channel (on DALnet, I don't know about Efnet).

Doesn't get us any nearer really. Should not be anything wrong there.

Try a modification to the script, just to see if the bind is triggering.

Code:

bind PUB - !testing pPubTestingproc pPubTesting {nick uhost hand chan text} {    putlog "I heard that in $chan"    putquick "PRIVMSG $chan :I heard that!"    return 0}putlog "testing.tcl loaded"

Don't forget to restart. This code will additionaly output 'I heard that in #channelname' to the partyline if the bind is triggered by anyone in an IRC bot channel uses the command !testing.

I'm running out of ideas other than a badly configured bot. What IRC network is your bot on and what setting do you have in its .conf file for 'set net-type'?

The test script I created does not have any user restrictions. Anyone can use the command, though I suppose it is worth asking someone else in the IRC channel to try the command !testing just to be certain it is the bot and not you.

Lets just be sure whether you can or cant use public commands from an addon Tcl script. Copy/Paste the following simple code into a text editor (I recommend Editpad Lite, which is free).

Code:

bind PUB - !testing pPubTestingproc pPubTesting {nick uhost hand chan text} {    putquick "PRIVMSG $chan :I heard that!"    return 0}putlog "testing.tcl loaded"

Save the file as testing.tcl (it does not require any configuration). Upload testing.tcl to the scripts subdirectory of your bot installation. Add a line to the end of the bot's .conf file as follows :-

Code:

source scripts/testing.tcl

Make sure you are editing the correct .conf file. Many times I have seen users modify a .conf file but it was not the one their bot happened to be using.

Restart the bot (use the partyline command .restart), whilst observing partyline output from your telnet connection with the bot. If you have correctly loaded the script, you will see the output "testing.tcl loaded" in the partyline.

If all is well, use the command !testing in an IRC channel (obviously one that the bot is in). You should see output similar to the following :-

[12:21] <@arfer> !testing
[12:21] I heard that!

well sort of the same issue in a sense, no matter the kind of script i use, use the trigger for that specific (any) script....bot does nothing. But I'm recognized by the bot, can telnet fine, run the eggdrop commands just fine.

Im at a loss here... help plz.

Elaborate a little.

Eggdrop does not have any IRC channel commands by default. You would have to add Tcl scripts for that.

The only commands available are partyline (DCC chat or telnet) and IRC private message commands to the bot's nick. In either case it would have to recognise you from your host.
