Add the following line:

Code:

utimer 5 [list putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :something"]

that delays the sending of the message with 5 seconds to allow it to join it first after

Code:

channel add $chan

If you wish to trigger multiple actions after this 5 seconds delay then create this proc outside the dcc:mul one:

Code:

proc timed:message {chan} {putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :something"# and any other things you wish}

and replace the utimer line with:

Code:

utimer 5 [list timed:message $chan]

Oh, I see.
But I'm wondering if I'd like to let the bot do something in the new channel after receiving this command, say print out a sentence, where I should put the statement in this script?

Thanks

Code:

if {[scan $text %s chan] != 1} {

This line dose two things:
1. it grabs the text from user's input and creates a variable chan
2. checks if the variable $chan isn't empty, meaning the user didn't specified a channel

All you have to do now is to '.mul #channel' from party line with the bot and it will try to join that channel if isn't there already.

Thanks Caesar,

From your code, I'm still not sure how to make the bot join the new channel the user specified ($chan).

Maybe there is something I don't quite understand, pls correct me.

The dcc bind expects only 3 arguments:

Code:

bind dcc * mul dcc:mulproc dcc:mul {hand idx text} {# grab the channel from user's input in $chan variable and warn if no channel is specifiedif {[scan $text %s chan] != 1} {putdcc $idx "Syntax: .mul #channel"return}# check if channel is validif {[validchan $chan]} {# continue with checking if bot is on the channelif {![botonchan $chan]} {# check is the channel is set to +inactiveif {[channel get $chan inactive]} {putdcc $idx "Channel $chan is set to +inactive"} else {putdcc $idx "I'm not on $chan channel due to one of the following reasons: I'm banned, channel is set to invite only or need a key to join"}}} else {# we add the new channelchannel add $chan}}

If you really need the reason the bot can't join the specified channel this can be "complicated" a bit by adding a bind need for that specific channel, wait to grab exactly what it needs to join it and then remove the bind.

Haven't tested this but should work.

Hi,

I've try this:

Code:

bind dcc -|- mul dcc:mulproc dcc:mul {hand idx arg chan} {#to join channel c1 specified in $chanif {[string equal -nocase "#c1" $chan]} {if {[validchan "#c1"]}{if {[botonchan]}{#do sth else if the bot is already on this channel}else{if {[channel get $chan inactive]}{#join c1 channelJOIN $chan}}}}}

I'm not sure what's wrong, could you help me to correct it?
PS: I want this command (.mul) to be a DCC command. I'm not sure how to let the bot join another channel specified in the chanfile.

Sure. Have you tried out something, got stuck at some command I mentioned above or this topic just turned from a "help me out" to "do this for me instead"?

With a combination of a few commands you can get quite a nice script serving this purpose. To add a channel use 'channel add'. Consult the tcl-commands.doc file for instructions.

The commands I'm referring to are:
1. 'string equal -nocase' to compare the current channel with the channel the user specified and stop any other checks

2. 'validchan' - that checks if the bot has a channel record for the specified channel. Note that this does not necessarily mean that the bot is ON the channel, meaning the channel can be set as +inactive. To detect this we check the status of this setting at step #3.

3. 'botonchan' - a check that return 1 if the bot is on the specified channel and 0 otherwise.

4. 'channel get #channel inactive' - to check if the specified (in this example #channel) channel is set to +inactive.

5. if you want to complicate things a bit you can throw in a "bind need - "#channel *" need:all" to detect exactly what it needs to join that specific channel.

If you want me to elaborate more on things just drop a message.

Hi please help me,

I would like to implement a feature which will allow the bot create a new channel and talk in it after receive a specific command.
For example,

Bot#1 is on channel #t1, and then user send out a command, Bot#1 create a channel #t2, and join it before notifying the user.

Is this possible? I have no idea how to start?

Thanks
