Creating an *list* with what bot is the first, the second and etc., then do a check and see if the 1st one is missing then continue checking if the second bot is also missing, etc. until one before it is not missing and stop the check and let it send the msg. In case he is in line and all the bots before him are missing then he will send the msg.

That's inefficient.. the way already described is better as the first bot to see the text will indicate that is the least laggiest relative to the source of where the text originated, thus giving it a better reaction time.

With a list of predetermined bots, you'd have to account for bots that are down, recently went down, etc... And you would not be able to determine if one of the predetermined bots is on a lagged server and about to split, thus not responding at all.

well you would need to modify your public text bound procs to have something like:

(assuming $chan and $text are the variable names in the proc header declaration)

Code:

global botrespondif {![info exists botrespond([set ct [string tolower $chan,$text]])]} {  putallbots "itsmine $ct" ;# tell all other bots that this bot is calling dibs..  set botrespond($ct) 1  utimer 10 [list unset botrespond($ct)] ;# gotta unset it} else {  return ;# another bot has called dibs, let's exit ...}.. bot code to process the text ..

and you would also need to bind to the botnet communication:

Code:

bind bot - itsmine bot:itsmineproc bot:itsmine {bot cmd text} {  global botrespond  if {![info exists botrespond($text)]} {    set botrespond($text) 1    utimer 10 [list unset botrespond($text)]  }}

This will give you a good idea on how to get started...

i did say it already, just in a round about way.
anyway, i dont know how to do it, which is why im here
any ideas or a script that could give me an example
of how to do it so they decide which bot is the main one?

finally he says what he wants instead of speaking in tongues....

And this has already been answered for you... you will need to modify the scripts to use botnet communication to determine which bot responds to the command. You obviously don't want to 'ignore' the text, as there would then be no way for the bot to determing if it should respond to the public text or not.

no, when there are 2 or more bots on a chan
that both respond to the same public commands,
say for example:

saytopic
the topic is: blah
the topic is: blah

basically i dont want the spam, i want the two or more
bots on the chan to elect a main bot, and only that bot would reply
not all of them, and if the 'main' bot was to part the chan or die
the next bot in line would respond.
simple eh? lol

lol... basically smds is saying this:
'NO I DON'T WANT TO UNLOAD MY SCRIPTS, I WANT THEM THERE FOR DECORATION, I JUST DON'T WANT THE BOT TO DO WHAT THE SCRIPTS TELL IT TO DO! UNDERSTAND?'

priceless... =p

well, forget it then, i have told you what i wanted to stop/do
and how i thought it could be done, which you confirmed,
and yet you still ask what i want to do.
if i could do it myself i would have, then we woudlnt
be having this conversation would we.

and yes i know what caesar said, which i'd already said about myself
in the post before his, anyway never mind.

omg lol, I shouldn't have bothered asking.
I'm putting it as simple as I can.
I think you know what I mean by ignore.

Can none of you think of a way to create a
vote system where the bots simply ellect a main bot on that channel and then the others don't answer public commands, or just ignore all public text on that channel?

It appears you refuse to consider the answers given.

And no, I don't know what you mean by ignore. It is completely unclear from your statements. If I knew, I would not have asked. Not answering the question doesn't help a single bit.

Eggdrop by default does NOT answer public commands (not answering public commands appears to be your definition of "ignore").

If your bot does answer to public commands then it is through scripts which you have loaded.

So, if it is undesired that your bot responds to public commands you need to modify the scripts. caesar gave a first hint to that.
Or alternatively, don't load the scripts at all except for one bot.

Or you may consider linking your bots and have the bots talk to each other and decide which bot to react and which bots to shut up. You will need to write yourself a script for that.

Once again, it appears you want to stop some "undesired" behaviour. Without knowing the "undesired" behaviour or the "offending script", it is difficult to help you in the right direction.

Then use the user defined channel flags - check the tcl-commands.doc file for "setudef" - and make it be *active* only on the channels that have the certain flag.

[snip]
i want to be able to make a specific bot ignore ALL public text,
like 'ignore' text from a specific channel,
[snip]

Can you define (in IRC/eggdrop terminology) the word "ignore"?

If this answer doesn't cover your question then give a copy and paste of the eggdrop behaviour that you want to get rid of.
