PtokaX forum

I found this bot on this forum , it's quite cool , once you "teach" it to say some smart and funny lines...

however , I would like to ask any of u who can modify it so it can do the following:

1. add another type of random sentences that the bot will say to attract attention to himself when nothing happens , eg. users idle

2. make it so you can specify wether the keyword can be case sensitive , with wildcards , or exactly the same

for example so it can make a difference between:

"die by my hand"
"driveby"
"by"
"byte"

In our case "by" is the keyowrd , and in any of the situations above , the bot would say the sentences assigned to the trigger.

This would fix a bug so it won't start saying foolish things when I say a keyword inside of a word , ex keyword dogg , user sentence doggystyle , and the bot says the line , that sucks)

Here is the code:

-- Just see how to implement the NMDC TriggerBot in LUA :)   
-- changes
-- Feb-24, 2003, v2.0 Modification for DataArrival return value.
-- Tiny changes by VidFamne with lot of help by Piglja
-- VidFamne added Pigljas time-function, and some more trigs
-- A bug-fix by VidFamne, hopefully. And added some more triggs ;)
-- A new bug-fix ( for the "!me-command" ) by VidFamne, added ( 09.04.2003 ).
-- Added MatrixX On/Off function. Just type +quiet in mainchat to stop the Bot,
-- and +talk to start the Bot again. By VidFamne ( 05.05.2003 )
-- Bug-fix by [AF]Mike

-- !trigger on -- start triggerbot
-- !trigger off -- Stop triggerbot

Thanks 4 the help ,  xcuse me if I might have confused you , I did my best...

One more thing , how else can I stop the damned bot without deselecting it from the GUI?

The !trigger on/off seems not to work....

This is perhaps not totally to which you seek, but perhaps have you at that an example
Try this here (http://board.univ-angers.fr/thread.php?threadid=4628&boardid=12&sid=e7541ef6d0649d6b625c76b7a1e6ab22)

I am way ahead of you, found it about 10 minutes ago , just finished adding my custom Sentences/triggers to it ;)
