Return answer from robocop-bot

[Caduceus]

Hi!

I'm looking for a way to notify users not to speak to the hubbot e.g. when they recieve a pop-up window from login or when they are warned.

I'm having a lot of n00b-users in my hub... and i sometimes see from the CMD screen in ptokax that they are replying/talking to the bot...  

Anyone knows how?  ?(

Tnx!

This shud work....

sBot = "Name Bot Here"

function Main()
frmHub:RegBot(sBot) -- delete this if your using same name as another bot!
end

function DataArrival(Curuser,data)
data = strsub(data,1,strlen(data)-1)

s,e,sTo= strfind(data, "$TO:%s+(%S+)")           -- find out who the pm is to
     if not GetItemByName(sTo) then           -- this checks to see if the target of the PM is actually a proper user
          Curuser:SendPM(sBot, "Are you MAD?!? Your talking to an automated bot!!")
     end
end

Thanx for quick reply [UK]Madman,

There seems to be some problem tho:

Syntax error: bad argument #1 to `strfind' (string expected, got nil)
stack traceback:
   1:  function `strfind' [C]
   2:  function `DataArrival' at line 10 [file `..._0.330_15.25 (+RC9.0c)\scripts\talkingtobot.lua']

I'm sorry, i'm a complete n00b with lua... don't know the error...

sBot = "[?Cerberus?]"

function Main()
-- frmHub:RegBot(sBot) -- delete this if your using same name as another bot!
end

function DataArrival(Curuser,data)
data = strsub(data,1,strlen(data)-1)

s,e,sTo= strfind(sData, "$TO:%s+(%S+)")           -- find out who the pm is to
     if not GetItemByName(sTo) then           -- this checks to see if the target of the PM is actually a proper user
          Curuser:SendPM(sBot, "Are you MAD?!? Your talking to yourself as "..sTo.." is only a bot!!")
     end
end

Apologies, first post ammended, I mistakenly used sData unstead of data for the strfind function.

[Caduceus]

Yes... it is better, but still a problem:

Syntax error: attempt to concat global `sTo' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
   1:  function `DataArrival' at line 12 [file `..._0.330_15.25 (+RC9.0c)\scripts\talkingtobot.lua']

sBot = "[?Cerberus?]"

-- function Main()
-- frmHub:RegBot(sBot) -- delete this if your using same name as another bot!
-- end

function DataArrival(Curuser,data)
data = strsub(data,1,strlen(data)-1)

s,e,sTo= strfind(data, "$TO:%s+(%S+)")           -- find out who the pm is to
     if not GetItemByName(sTo) then           -- this checks to see if the target of the PM is actually a proper user
          Curuser:SendPM(sBot, "Are you MAD?!? Your talking to yourself as "..sTo.." is only a bot!!")
     end
end

Edited again, might get it right in a min ! lol

[Caduceus]

Yes! thanx [UK]Madman!

it now works... however (i know i am a pain in the behind)...

I get the message too when i talk in OpChat & VipChat...

is it possible to set the script so that it only gives the reply when spoken to the sBot?

Tnx again :)

[[UK]Madman]

OOppsss, forgot about that, knew it seemed to easy!!  I borrowed the code from another bot im writing that warns users there getting a bots filelist .. forgot you talk to OpChat and VipChat!!

replace

if not GetItemByName(sTo) then

with

if sTo == sBot then

[Caduceus]

hmmm... No errors, but now it gives no reply at all anymore  :( :

sBot = "[?Cerberus?]"

-- function Main()
-- frmHub:RegBot(sBot) -- delete this if your using same name as another bot!
-- end

function DataArrival(Curuser,data)
data = strsub(data,1,strlen(data)-1)

s,e,sTo= strfind(data, "$TO:%s+(%S+)")           -- find out who the pm is to
     if sTo == sBot then
          Curuser:SendPM(sBot, "Are you MAD?!? Your talking to an automated bot!!")
     end
end

[Caduceus]

Does [UK]Madman or someone else have a solution to this?

[[UK]Madman]

Home from work and this is now tested and working fine :o)

sBot = "Bot Name"

-- function Main()
-- frmHub:RegBot(sBot) -- delete this if your using same name as another bot!
-- end

function DataArrival(Curuser,data)
data = strsub(data,1,strlen(data)-1)

s,e,sTo= strfind(data, "$To:%s+(%S+)") -- find out who the pm is to
if sTo == sBot then
Curuser:SendPM(sBot, "Are you MAD?!? Your trying to talk to "..sTo.." whos only a bot!!")
end
end

Was stupid mistake in the patern matching!

[Caduceus]
