bind time dosn't work with PRIVMSG

2009-12-29T21:55:11-04:00

The following code will output a message in all the bot's channels with a specific channel flag every ten minutes :-

Code:

setudef flag mytimebind TIME - "?0 * * * *" myprocproc myproc {minute hour day month year} {  foreach chan [channels] {    if {[channel get $chan mytime]} {      if {[botonchan $chan]} {        putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :time bind triggered"      }    }  }  return 0}

In order to activate the flag for each channel, use (in the partyline) .chanset #channelname +mytime

The following code will output a message in the channel named #whatever every 10 minutes (whenever minutes ends with a 0 ie. 00, 10, 20 etc) :-

Code:

# set here the time bind's output channelset mychan "#whatever"bind TIME - "?0 * * * *" myprocproc myproc {minute hour day month year} {  global mychan  putserv "PRIVMSG $mychan :time bind triggered"  return 0}

Each bind passes different arguments to the procs they call.

Thanks!
Does this mean that I can't use PRIVMSG at all? I could just do this

Code:

proc myproc {minute hour day month year} {  # code here}

and this

Code:

putserv "PRIVMSG $minute : TEST TEXT"

but that won't work.

A time bind does not pass a channel to the proc it triggers.

Code:

bind TIME - "?0 * * * *" myprocproc myproc {minute hour day month year} {  # code here}

Each bind passes different arguments to the procs they call. Look them up in tcl-commands.html before using them.

I tried this:

Code:

bind pub - !force myprocbind time - "?0 * * * *" myprocproc myproc {nick uhost hand chan text} {set Something "text here"set writeFile [open file.txt w]puts $writeFile $Somethingclose $writeFileputserv "PRIVMSG $chan : TEST TEXT"}

When I write !force in my irc channel the proc "myproc" is performed. Good.
The funny part: With bind time it doesn't work! When I wait 10 minutes nothing is printed out by PRIVMSG but the text "text here" is written to the file file.txt.

Actually this means, the proc is performed with both "bind pub" and "bind time", but PRIVMSG doesn't work for bind time...

Can somebody please tell me how to use PRIVMSG within bind time...
Thanks!
