How to bind nick outside a channel? (bot's nick change)

[awyeah]

How can I trigger a bind nick change outside a channel. A nick change not in any channel but when the bot changes its nick, the variable $botnick.

Is there anyway to trace when the bot changes its nick, when its not on any channel?

I know an alternative method; to make a continuous utimer loop to check if $botnick matches my defined nick or not, but the utimer will put alot of stress on the bot as it will be running 24/7 with very small intervals of time as I need the bind nick to react at instantly.

Any suggestions?

I've checked tcl-commands.doc and it contains no such information regarding this. As mentioned bind nick triggers on a channel scripts and won't work outside a channel if the bot changes its own nick.

Further more, can there be a bind raw? is it possible? bind raw to a specific ircd raw number/key/event?

Code: Select all

bind raw - NICK rawNick
proc rawNick {f k a} {
	if {$f==$::botname} {
		# new botnick is [string range $a 1 end]
	}
}
