hey everyone,

i use this code to display "message" in the main chat to a user who has just connected:
function NewUserConnected(sUser)
SendToNick(sUser, "message")
endbut it doesn't seem to work.

consequently, this code for displaying a text file as the MOTD doesn't work either:
MOTD_FILE = "MOTD.txt"

function NewUserConnected(sUser)
SendToNick(sUser, TextFile(MOTD_FILE))
end

function TextFile(file)
readfrom(file, "r")
local message = ""
while 1 do
local line = read()
if line == nil the break
else
message = message..line.."\n"
end
end
readfrom()
return message
endany help would be very appreciated!
thanks!

This should work. It gives no errors in my hub.
MOTD_FILE = "motd.txt"

function NewUserConnected(sUser)
SendPm(sUser, "message")
end

function TextFile(file)
readfrom(file, "r")
local message = ""
while 1 do
local line = read()
if line == nil then break
else
message = message..line.."\n"
end
end
readfrom()
return message
end

try this :)

motd = "MOTD.txt" -- textfile
bot = "welcome" -- botname Give it the same name as your main bot

function Main()
frmHub:RegBot(bot)
end

OpConnected = NewUserConnected
function NewUserConnected(sUser)
sUser:SendPM(bot,TextFile(motd))
end

function TextFile(file)
readfrom(file, "r")
local message = ""
while 1 do
local line = read()
if line == nil then break
else
message = message..line.."\n"
end
end
readfrom()
return message
end


thanks so much for your help guys!! works great now!!

here's the code:
MOTD = "MOTD.txt" -- textfile

function NewUserConnected(sUser)
sUser:SendData(TextFile(MOTD))
end

function TextFile(file)
readfrom(file, "r")
local message = ""
while 1 do
local line = read()
if line == nil then break
else
message = message..line.."\n"
end
end
readfrom()
return message
end
