Hi, im new to tcl, well been trying to learn it for like 3 days only.

Anyways, i need a simple script that when i do .starttss trigger in a channel it will start a timer and every hour it will do this command "privmsg operserv tssync"

then on trigger .stoptss it stops it. I tryed useing the timer and utimer but it failed big time :/

If you are on eggdrop 1.6.20 then this should do it:

Thanks willyw, i will defo take a look at them links and bookmark as ive wanted to learn tcl for months but everytime i start i get cut off by something i cant get past.

caesar the ".starttss trigger in a channel" basically if i type .starttss in a channel this would trigger the timer on the eggdrop. And yes the tssync synizes all servers thats linked, its a anope mod thats installed.

Yes im useing eggdrop 1.6.20

Thanks

Just as I thought, it's something on server side.

Thanks caesar,

Im useing willyw post atm as that was the first 1 i have tested and works but i do love the concept of using ".tssync on/off" as this would make things a lot easyer but there are a few things i dont understand atm with your post like:

bind pub n
switch:
lindex
split

If you could be so kind to explain these maybe i can combine both posts together to work how i need it

yes i could just copy and paste and use it but that wont help me to learn it.

Thanks

You don't need to join anything, either use mine or stick willyw's if you are happy with it.

Have you checked the second link willyw mentioned?

Apart from 'bind pub' (that you can find in tcl-commands.doc and 'n' is a flag) all is explained in there. Here's some direct links to what you wanted: lindex, switch and split.

Basically the two codes do the same thing, the difference is the 'switch' with that I used 1 'proc' instead of two to start/stop the 3rd bind. His 'cron' bind is incorrect, as right now it will trigger (execute) the 'say_it' every minute. If you want to stick with his then replace:

[Gemster]

Well you see this is where i get confused as i read a bit about the bind "cron" and it says u cant use flags.

Then i see you use "n" for global owners that i would change to m as i have no users on the bot at all and dont think there ever will be but i could use the "if {isop" to allow chan ops to access some commands that i make in the future.
also you sed his 3rd bind

[caesar]

I used the 'n' flag on the 'pub' bind, not on cron. You can change the flag to whatever you wish, or replace it with '*' and add an if statement in the proc to allow channel operators to use it for instance.

I'm not 100% sure about that "0 * * * *" mask, theoretically it should execute at minute 0, and since there's only 1 minute 0 at every hour..

The 'switch' statement can be translated in 3 simple 'if' statements:

[Gemster]

Thanks a lot guys,

Just a reply to the "0 * * * *" mask, after testing it i see that it does run at ever :00 past the hour

And the if statements makes the "switch" a lot more easyer to understand now

Well now im going to make another "bindcron" and try to use your code caesar

Just 1 question tho, what if i want it to run every 2 hours ?

Like this: {* */2 * * *}

Thanks

Ya willyw, i already have them book marked
my way of learning is from the top to the bottom and making scripts as i go, but this timer thing i needed asap among a few other little events that i managed on my own with. The rest is learning and building to what ive already got.

Thanks for both u and caesar, its always good to get a starting point to work from, in my case it was timers lol

Thanks again
Gemster

P.S - hopefully u will see me here in the future helping others
