command prefix

2002-12-30T20:58:49-04:00

hm, actually that means that people can use ANY command prefix they like in the channel, ie, @authaddop and !authaddop both work no-matter what the setting in the file is.

There is no way this is happening. Have you tried it?

As noted, you should use the ${cmdprefix} method.

However, to correct some facts, there is simply no way possible for what you say above to occur.

Take a look at the following code

Code:

set p "!"bind pub - [string trim $p]test test:test

First, the pub bind does not accept masks or wildcards (pubm does). So what ever is placed in the mask field, has to be fully matched, without any wildcard processing. This leaves the single option of only one command possible.

While the $p and the "string trim" command are processed dynamicly, they are only called once, and thus produce static content. This means that after Tcl has run "[string trim $p]" once, it doesn't call it each time it tries to match somthing.

You are having TCL do more work than it should have to. That being, a substitution and then processing of a command (O(2)), when all that is needed is a substitution (O(1)). It isn't much of a difference in all actuality, but for the sake of efficiency:

Code:

bind pub - ${cmdprefix}authaddop pub_authaddop

i have fixed it by using [string index $cmdprefix 0]

thanks for your help

Code:

bind pub - [string trim $cmdprefix]authaddop pub_authaddop

that should do it

command prefix

I want to give the option to choose there own prefix in a separate settings file, using

set cmdprefix "!"

for example

then matching it to pub binds as such

bind pub - $cmdprefixauthaddop pub_authaddop

the problem is that the bot appears to think that "$cmdprefixauthaddop is one single global variable instead of just $cmdprefix

How do i get eggdrop to recognise the separation?
