Dear boys, and girls

I made my own script but there's a little problem. If i request the bot, the bot checks if the [requestedchannel] is in the blocklist, if it is he quits the validation. Thats all good, but if the channel is not in the blocklist a error comes up. The bot says [APPROVED] has been approved, validation will begin in a couple seconds. thats also good, the bot joins but does not continue with request:join_chan (the next chan).

View code below:

The problem is most likely due to the fact that your bot most likely hav'nt had time to gather any information about the channel by the time you call request:join_chan. The time for this may be from just a few secs for small channels, to 20secs or more for large channels (basically the time it takes to retrieve the output, and parse it, from a "WHO #channel" request).

I would probably use a timer to delay the member-check a minute or two.

A somewhat more advanced way of doing it would be to manually capturing the data of the who-request using raw bindings. Making any mistakes here might result in your bot behaving very oddly however.

thanks user, works HALFY now

i think i need to work with a timer indeed.

Shouldn't need any timers, since the bot will wait til the result of [chanlist] is returned before doing the next commands..


Try putting some "putcmdlog" lines into your script to aid in debugging the process.

[nml375]

chanlist will output the content of eggdrop's internal list of channel-members, it will not trigger a fetch from the server. Thus, if you call it too soon from your eggie joining a channel, you will not get a list of the channel members.
Hence, you'd need to delay that process until the internal list has been fully updated... Either using a timer, or a raw binding triggering on the numeric for "End of who".

i bind to raw 315 (end of /who), and then continue.

[nml375]

Idea looks good, a few thoughts tho..
When working with raw-bindings, the returncode of the proc is very important, as it determines wether any further processing will be done, and bindings added with scripts trigger before those built in. If a return-value is not provided explicitly, an implicit return-value will be generated from the last executed command within the proc (in this case; catch {unbind raw - {315} request:endofwho})

Also, would'nt it be easier to keep the binding active at all times, extract the channel-name from the message body, and check wether this matches the channel you're trying to validate (in theory, the triggered binding may be from a different who-query, although very unlikely).

if you want the bind active all the time, remove the catch lines and add the bind raw line under the other pub/msg bind lines.

Still have to add proper return-values to prevent your eggie from going nuts...
