Invalid Command Name

[Nimos]

I wrote a little script, which forwards all msgs to the bot to me, and lets me talk to the last talker through the bot.

if I write something now, I get this error in Partyline:

Tcl Error [forward]: Invalid Command name "(the nick I have)"

whats wrong with my script?

and is there a better way to check if someone is online than "onchan" ?

Code: Select all

bind msgm - * forward

set owner "Nimos"
set ownerchan "#nimos"

proc forward {nick host hand text} {

global lastnick owner ownerchan

if {![$nick == $owner]} {
       if {[onchan $owner $ownerchan]} {
              puthelp "PRIVMSG $owner :$nick $text"
              set lastnick "$nick"
              }
} else {
        puthelp "PRIVMSG $lastnick :$text"
        }
}

The flaw is this:

Code: Select all

if {![$nick == $owner]} {

Basically, you tell tcl to execute $nick as a command with first argument being == and second argument being $owner. Most likely not what you intended...

I'd suggest you use the string equal command to compare the strings, although you could do a simple comparison somewhat like the code suggests you thought of doing. With the second option however, don't treat it as a command.

yea, I see...

I already fixed it myself yesterday
