Comments for botzilla dev log http://botzilla.org/wp updates and news about botzilla PHP IRC bot Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:54:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 Comment on How to create ACTIONs by admin http://botzilla.org/wp/?p=115&cpage=1#comment-84 admin Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:54:04 +0000 http://botzilla.org/wp/?p=115#comment-84 This would be similar to /topic handling, described briefly <a href="http://bbby.org/share/nijikokun_topic.txt" rel="nofollow">here</a>, using a send() call to get the irc server to send data back; then listening on a return code ( with getCommand() ) to discern the end of the message. Modes, afaik, come with the list of <strong>/names</strong> , which can stretch over multiple lines. I didn't pursue a core way to check these for a few reasons. First and foremost, lazy. Next, there could be race conditions in play with other input, especially when your bot is present in many channels at once; collecting the proper lines were deemed trickier than I wanted to deal with at the time. Lastly, every network handles modes differently. Freenode uses a few, but I know of a case where botzilla is in use on a network with many more modes that I didn't know could exist. The best I could hope for is a getMode() equaling '@' or '+' or 'v' , or something not-obvious like that. Take the /topic code and try to make a /names handler.

Take the /topic code and try to make a /names handler.

"getModes()"? on a user? How would you go about getting the modes, like if it were a function… “getModes()”? on a user?
