I am new to WyldRyde and am still setting up my IRC channel. I do have one bot in my room, AMD. I was wondering, when someone sends a trigger like !rules, can i make a bot respond with an answer. Please excuse me if I sound like a n0ob.

Yes you can! And it is very simple! If AMD is on mirc then you are already halfway there! If not, download a program called mirc (IRC Client for windows) then all you have to do is go into the remote scripting (alt +r) and then you just input lines of codes (scripts) that your bot does. For example !rules might look like:

on :text:!rules:#chatroom: {
if (($calc(($ctime- %lastupdatetime)) >= 15) || (!%lastupdatetime)) {
set %lastupdatetime $ctime
/msg $chan Your Rules go here
}
}

Replace #chatroom with #yourchatroom.
The second line is talking about lastupdate time. It is set to 15 seconds. That means i f someone types !rules 2 times in 15 seconds it will only announce it one. SO after that you have a neutral time of 15 seconds. If someone types !rules before that 15 seconds is up it will not respond. Make sense? you can probably just set that to "0"
Replace "your rules here" to whatever you want the bot to repsond to when someone types !rules

From here it gets even more easy you can edit that script to do different triggers.

Hope this help's you. I myself was one a n00b and still I am to a lot of things.
When you master this type of script you can get more into !winner and !topic. If you have any questions feel free to wing by my room #rtvchatroom.

What jwire4 said was right, but if you want the direct link of how to do it, please go here, which usrbingeek posted: http://www.wyldryde.org/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/259/Triggers_like_rules.html#Post259 Good luck

OK, I am having some troubles, or you didn't comprehend me right. The bot AMD is not a bot that I host. It is one provided by WyldRyde. Also, I do not have my own server. It is a WyldRyde server. It does not work. If you want to check it out, my channel is #ryanbecker. I should be there for a while. If this wont work on a WyldRyde bot, can you help me set up one? Also, I do have another script in my remotes file. Thanks.

OK, WyldRyde bots will not run triggers. WyldRyde bots primarily act like a big brother. They sit there and kick people for flooding,bad words,whatever you configure it to do. However they don not run triggers. To find a bot to run triggers, you need to install an IRC Client called "mIRC" There you can go into the remote tab, and enter the script I inputed earlier.

Are you saying that I have to host a bot if I want the script to work? If I do, could someone help me set it up in my computer? Thanks.

to run a basic bot that will respond to commands you can simply run a second instance of mIRC on your current PC. Just download mIRC (www.mirc.com) install it, and when you have it running hit alt+r to bring up the scripts editor and put the code provided into the remotes tab (usually the one opened by default)

All you have to do is download mirc. Then follow these steps:

1.Open mirc
The first window you see os a window you will get every time input:Full name,email address,nickname (Whatever you want bot nick to be) alternative nick (nick available if bot nick pings out

2. Under "Connect" go to "servers" click the "ADD" button For Description put whatever (WyldRyde would be the best)

For IRC Server: Put your IRC server (you can find your IRC Server at http://www.wyldryde.org/servers , eg. IRC.WyldRyde.org)
Don't worry about group.If your nick is registered, put that password box.

click add

Now find WyldRyde or whatever you named the description on the IRC Servers list.
Click select

Now you have everything ready to go
Go back to connect and click connect

You will be logged into WyldRyde but, in no room (yet)
You need to type this in: /join #ryanbecker (or whatever chatroom)
You can do this command in anychatroom to join another. you want the bot to be in)

Now for scripts

Go up to the top of mirc where you see all these little icons. Click the one that is like a paper witha little green star by it click it (or wuicker while incide mirc hit alt +r) You are now in the mirc script editor. Make sure you are in the Remote Tab.

Here you can enter in any mirc script you want. This is how your rules would be

on :text:!rules:#ryanbecker: {
if (($calc(($ctime- %lastupdatetime)) >= 1) || (!%lastupdatetime)) {
set %lastupdatetime $ctime
/msg $chan Your Rules go here
}
}

Enter this in under the remote tab and edit Your rules go here to whatever you want them to be.
You can copy this script as many times as you want to make more. They will look like this:

on :text:!rules:#ryanbecker: {
if (($calc(($ctime- %lastupdatetime)) >= 1) || (!%lastupdatetime)) {
set %lastupdatetime $ctime
/msg $chan Your Rules go here
}
}
on :text:what is cam:#ryanbecker: {
if (($calc(($ctime- %lastupdatetime)) >= 1) || (!%lastupdatetime)) {
set %lastupdatetime $ctime
/msg $chan I am using a logitech webcam
}
}

It is very simple and as easy as copy past and edit. Now THIS COPY OF MIRC IS FOR YOUR BOT ONLY!

What this means is that the bot nick is just a nick sitting on an IRC server doing nothing. When you add scipts, it does something. It runs off of triggers. So this copy of mirc is just for the bot. If you want another mirc to use for you, download another copy. When you go into "your" copy of mirc. Make sure the remote tab in scripts editor is blank.

That is simply it! Basicly yes, you are hosting this bot. If you wanted to alk to someone about a diffrent kind of bot that runs triggers, a php bot, talk to Phil.

***Learning the mirc language is really easy! Study the scripts and then try making your own. You can be surprised how advanced this bot can become with the right scripts :)***

Alright, still messed up. I had it working for a while, and then it crashed. It was not responding. It was logged in to the same room as it should be. However, this may be a problem. I want to be in the same copy of mIRC as my bot. I have the bot's nickname set as preferred, and mine set as alternate. When mIRC opens, the bot joins. If I want to join, I type this command "//server -m IRC.WyldRyde.org 6667" That opens a connection in a new windows. WyldRyde reports that the nickname CommandBot is in use, and mIRC switches to mine. I then connect to my room by doing a "/join #ryanbecker" I have been trying to do the triggers from my account, in the same copy of mIRC. Is that why it is not showing up? Also, I want to have a !help trigger, but my WyldRyde bot takes over. I have to use a different one. Any help would be great. I should be in my room, #ryanbecker, all day. Thanks!

I see your problem. Unfortunately the way mirc runs bots runs now you have to have 1 dedicated copy of mirc just for your bot. This is because it will get the nicks screwed up as well. Also if you are running on the same copy as mirc as your bot and you type a command like !rules it will not respond because again, that copy of mirc is dedicated to a nick that runs on the server running off triggers. It won't respond to it's own question. Make sense? If you want to chat in mirc just download another copy of mirc for yourself. Shouldn't be any problems there As for the !help command I'm not sure. Try turning fantasy mode off. Ask in #help
