Coding a /tell relay question

« on: August 26, 2007, 07:53:43 PM »

On our old bot I had a plugin that would take message input from pre-determined people and echo that message on orgchat and guest chat without giving any reply back to the source.

We used this to display Infonet and Elitenet relays in orgchat. I did some other stuff to them as well to reformat them (so that elitenet and infonet messages looked virtually identical as well as to include a simple profanity filter).

It is key that the bot not ever send any reply back to these senders, even in the event of error. Otherwise you get chat loops.

What do I need to do to make sure I intercept the message and never respond to it if it comes from certain names?

Try something like the code below, tells is used to catch all incoming tells that don't match a command. You need to check the sender, and if it's the right one relay it. If the function tells() returns true the handler for incoming tells won't send back any access denied or help lines.

Code:

<?php
$infonet = new InfoNet($bot);

$commands["tells"]["infonet"] = &$infonet;

/*
The Class itself...
*/
class InfoNet
{
        var $bot;

        function InfoNet(&$bot)
        {
                $this -> bot = &$bot;
        }

        function tells($name, $msg)
        {
                if ($name == "Infonet")
                {
                        $this -> bot -> send_gc($msg);
                        return true;
                }
                return false;
        }
}
?>

I finally got around to doing this. Attaching the initial (seems to be working) version.

Includes a primitive customizable profanity filter and will parse out infonet and elitenet formats to make them a less spammy on orgchat.

Hiya folks, been awhile

I'm upgrading my bot since I still run it for my old guild though I don't play anymore. Starting it from scratch. Tried this announcer and it doesn't seem to do anything. I am still getting tells from infonet but the module never seems to react to it. Still am getting familiar with this bot and all the changes (used to 2.x) so is there anything I need to enable or some security setting I need to do?
