help with time script

[Psycho_Chihuahua]

Could someone help me out here?

current = os.date("%d:%m:%y - %H:%M")
iMin = 1000*60 

function Main() 
	current = os.date("%d:%m:%y - %H:%M")
	if tTime[current] then
		SendToAll( ("---" ..current .."---"), tTime[current] )
	end
	frmHub:RegBot("---" ..current .."---")
	SetTimer(iMin) 
	StartTimer() 
end 
function OnTimer()
	frmHub:UnregBot("---" ..current .."---")
	current = os.date("%d:%m:%y - %H:%M")
	if tTime[current] then
		SendToAll( ("---" ..current .."---"), tTime[current] )
	end
	frmHub:RegBot("---" ..current .."---")
end
function OnExit()
frmHub:UnregBot("---" ..current .."---")
end

I had it working with the newer Version of Ptx (16.03/16.04/16.05) but now with 16.06 it don't work

Maybe this could work ..

current = os.date("%d:%m:%y - %H:%M")
iMin = 1000*60 

function Main() 
	current = os.date("%d:%m:%y - %H:%M")
	SendToAll( ("*** Time now is ---" ..current .."---") )
	frmHub:RegBot("---" ..current .."---", 1, "", "")
	SetTimer(iMin) 
	StartTimer() 
end

function OnTimer()
	frmHub:UnregBot("---" ..current .."---")
	current = os.date("%d:%m:%y - %H:%M")
	SendToAll( ("*** Time now is ---" ..current .."---") )
	frmHub:RegBot("---" ..current .."---", 1, "", "")
end

function OnExit()
	frmHub:UnregBot("---" ..current .."---")
end

Could be working now .. above post edited ... I am guessing the mistake is coming from the new way PtokaX is ReggingBots ... the frmHub:RegBot() needs some additional arguments ( botname, oper, description, email )...

no - still not working  ;(

Found it .. Nothing to do with Lua itself ... it was the invalid characters for nicknames that the newest PtokaX has .. it was the ':' screwing the whole thing up .. there you go with a working thing ..

current = ""
iMin = 1000*60 

function Main() 
	current = os.date("%d-%m-%y - %H.%M")
	SendToAll( "*** Time now is @ -=".. current.."=-" )
	frmHub:RegBot( "-=".. current.."=-" , 1, "", "")
	SetTimer(iMin) 
	StartTimer() 
end

function OnTimer()
	frmHub:UnregBot( "-=" ..current .."=-" )
	current = os.date("%d-%m-%y - %H.%M")
	SendToAll( "*** Time now is @ -=".. current.."=-" )
	frmHub:RegBot( "-=".. current.."=-" , 1, "", "")
end

function OnExit()
	frmHub:UnregBot( ("-=" ..current .."=-") )
end

I actually only want it to show a "Dummy User" in the Userlist that shows the Time - which it still doesn't  ;(  ;(

I've seen and tried that one already, but with Ptokax 16.06 it doesnt work  ;(

[plop]

tested and wasting bandwidth so yes it works.

localtime = {
	sec = "1",
	Description = "local time bot",
	Email = "some email addy",
}

function Time()
   local current = os.date("%H.%M.%S")
   localtime.botname = "-=" ..current .."=-"
end

--------------------------------------------------------
function Main()
   Time()
   frmHub:RegBot(localtime.botname, 1, localtime.Description, localtime.Email)
   SetTimer(localtime.sec * 1000) 
   StartTimer() 
end 
--------------------------------------------------------
function OnTimer()
   frmHub:UnregBot(localtime.botname)
   Time()
   frmHub:RegBot(localtime.botname, 1, localtime.Description, localtime.Email)
end
--------------------------------------------------------
function OnExit()
   frmHub:UnregBot(localtime.botname)
end

any1 an idea who made the original??

plop

[Psycho_Chihuahua]

i think it was Whooshman, but i'm not sure


Thanks a lot for the Script Plop, after taking out the seconds and setting it on 1minute its running fine now (saving at least a bit of Bw  :D )

Here is what i now have - running fine

localtime = {
	sec = "60",
	Description = "lokaler Zeitbot",
	Email = "helvetia@psycho-chihuahua.net",
}

function Time()
   local current = os.date("%H.%M..%d.%m.%y")
   localtime.botname = "-=" ..current .."=-"
end

--------------------------------------------------------
function Main()
   Time()
   frmHub:RegBot(localtime.botname, 1, localtime.Description, localtime.Email)
   SetTimer(localtime.sec * 1000) 
   StartTimer() 
end 
--------------------------------------------------------
function OnTimer()
   frmHub:UnregBot(localtime.botname)
   Time()
   frmHub:RegBot(localtime.botname, 1, localtime.Description, localtime.Email)
end
--------------------------------------------------------
function OnExit()
   frmHub:UnregBot(localtime.botname)
end
