!topic

By sailoreagle on Feb 07, 2004

A very simple snippet that can be loaded on a bot, to allow people to change a channel's topic by messaging the bot. As it is, any user can message the bot and get it to change the topic - this can of course be restricted in a variety of ways (user levels, nicks, etc.)

; Goes in remotes (alt-R). Usage:
; !topic New topic - when typing it in a channel
; !topic #channel New topic - when private messaging the bot

ON *:TEXT:!topic *:*: { 
  if ($chan) { 
    topic $chan $2- 
  } 
  else { 
    topic $2 $3- 
  } 
}

Best thing to do in the case of multiple nick is to use:

if ($istok(Pangaea|Pantest3,$nick,124)) {

The | is the seperation character, In this case I use $chr(124) hence the 124 at the end, You can use any other seperation character that isn't a comma/$chr(44)

thanks grim, tho funnily enough I had it originally at == and thought to take out one of the = since it wasn't working then either :/

@Pangaea add another = so it looks like if ($nick == Pangaea) { as the = on it's own doesn't work within if statements afaik. I know they do in temp variables. :)
