say script

[Bytez]

Hi, I want my bot to say a message to the bot every x seconds. Which script will do that? I tried a search but to no avail. Don't need a DCC command, just a basic script that repeats text on a specified channel. thanks.

Code: Select all

## interval between each message in seconds
set intsecs "60"
## message to send
set chanmsg "your message"

timer $intsecs [list message:tochan]

proc message:tochan {} {
foreach chan [channels] {
 putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :$::chanmsg"
 }
timer $::intsecs [list message:tochan]
}

Code: Select all

## interval between each message in seconds
set intsecs "2700"
## message to send
set chanmsg "\00304,12If you are receiving spam from other people in private message, ignore them\003."

timer $intsecs [list message:tochan]

proc message:tochan {} {
foreach chan [channels] {
 putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :$::chanmsg"
 }
timer $::intsecs [list message:tochan]
}

the bot says the message but the bot will say it to the channel at random intervals, 3 minutes, 6 miinutes, it totally ignores the interval I set at the top. I only had the script up for an hour or so.

I think you have two issues:

1) You're using timer, rather than utimer.

2) You're rehashing rather than restarting.

yes, sorry my bad.

you must put the timer in minutes, unless you want it to be in seconds then change timer to utimer.

I changed timer to utime, restarted the bot, it still says stuff to the channel at different times, I put 2700 seconds but the bot says stuff in 24 minutes, 21 minutes. The first time, it says in 45 minutes but afterwards, it ignores the 2700 I set in the file.

Code: Select all

## interval between each message in minutes 
set intsecs "45" 
## message to send 
set chanmsg "your message" 

timer $intsecs [list message:tochan] 

proc message:tochan {} { 
foreach chan [channels] { 
 putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :$::chanmsg" 
 } 
timer $::intsecs [list message:tochan] 
}

although the utimer should work fine, but try this.
