Mass-Message + Banner

[RDB]

Is it possible to send a command to a bot rather than posting it in main chat. which then will activate the said command. This is because we sometimes get ops mistyping their commands and end up showing users what we type and it isnt very secure. The two commands im looking to use especially with this feature is a mass message and a banner script. (but the banner script being something that can be used to make it look  like the bot talks and not a full banner).

Thankyou in advance :]

Well since normal users can't use those commands anyways ... what's not safe about it ?

If an OP wants to remain anonymous whilst posting.

Hi,

Just write return 1 in the end of every command and your problem is solved.

i have the banner in channelbot. But is it possible to do another banner that simply posts in the main chat as a bot? (using an existing bot and not needing its own bot for this). Also, need a mass message script integrated in the same script if possible.

Thank you in advance  :]

I mean a script that will let you send a message in main chat from the bot.

i.e. !botspeak Hi all how ya doing.

Then in mainchat you would see

Hi all how ya doing.

And all ops have this capability, but no user will know who said it  ;)

LOL :)

Here is it then...

sBot = "Bot-ME"

function Main()
	frmHub:RegBot(sBot)
end

function DataArrival(user, data)
	if (strsub(data,1,1) == "<" or strsub(data,1,5+strlen(sBot)) == "$To: "..sBot) then
		data = strsub(data,1,strlen(data)-1)
		s,e,cmd = strfind(data, "%b<>%s+(%S+)")
		if (cmd == "!botspeak" and user.bOperator) then
			local s,e,msg = strfind(data, "%b<>%s+%S+%s+(%S+)")
			if (msg == nil) then
				user:SendPM(sBot, "Syntax Error, !botspeak , you must write a message.")
			else
				SendToAll(sBot, msg)
			end
			return 1
		elseif (cmd == "!massmess" and user.bOperator) then
			local s,e,msg = strfind(data, "%b<>%s+%S+%s+(%S+)")
			if (msg == nil) then
				user:SendPM(sBot, "Syntax Error, !massmess , you must write a message.")
			else
				SendPmToAll(sBot, msg)
			end
			return 1
		end
	end
end

Perfect :-)

Thank You for the quick response  :)

If i wanted to modify channelbot so that those commands were activated by typing to the bot like this one would it be easy? If so, further help required...

[RDB]

Also, ive noticed that certain characters end the message sent

i.e. !botspeak hey, how you all

In main chat users will see

<:HouseBot:> hey,

Is it posssible to stop this from happening?

Thank You in Advance

Added: The character that breaks the command is actually . So only oneword messages can be sent.

yep but if you don't mind i'm gone leave it 2 nerbos 2 fix it.

@nerbos: last part of the pattern matching is wrong, it only captures 1 word, you wanne capture everything left in the string.

	if (strsub(data,1,1) == "<" or strsub(data,1,5+strlen(sBot)) == "$To: "..sBot) then
		data = strsub(data,1,strlen(data)-1)
		s,e,cmd = strfind(data, "%b<>%s+(%S+)")
		if (cmd == "!botspeak" and user.bOperator) then
			local s,e,msg = strfind(data, "%b<>%s+%S+%s+(.*)")
			if (msg == nil) then
				user:SendPM(sBot, "Syntax Error, !botspeak , you must write a message.")
			else
				SendToAll(sBot, msg)
			end
			return 1
		elseif (cmd == "!massmess" and user.bOperator) then
			local s,e,msg = strfind(data, "%b<>%s+%S+%s+(.*)")
			if (msg == nil) then
