You want to make a bot change someone else's nick? You can't do that unless you have remote access to them through a script that they are running.

You'll get there, instead of reading a newspaper before you go to work print off the help file and read that instead.

Are you trying to make it so everyone knows the person is away? Or only so that you know (on the bot)? You could probably make it so it displays as being away on the bot (not change their nick, but it would display a person as being away) by using one of the nick list dlls.

How about when someone says their nickname on the channel it says they're away?

Yeah, that or if the people in your channel are regulars, you can ask them to use a simple script to change their own nicks when they type !away.

i think ill try the when they say there nick it says why there away, the bot i have writes the away info to a ini file such as reason for being away, so how would i make a script to read the ini info and respond when there nick is called in the room so it would be like nick
nick is away {ini info here}

Assuming the INI is like this: [nick] Reason=Sleeping [nick2] Reason=Gone You can then use something like this:
on *:text:*:#chan: {
var %nick.cnt 1
while (%nick.cnt <= $nick(#,0)) {
if ($nick(#,%nick.cnt) isin $strip($1-)) {
if ($readini(away.ini,$nick(#,%nick.cnt)) {
msg $chan $nick(#,%nick.cnt) is away $chr(123) $+ $readini(away.ini,$nick(#,%nick.cnt),Reason) $+ $chr(125)
}
}
inc %nick.cnt
}
}
Note that this will reply to every nick in the line of text. If someone says Hello nick1, nick2, nick3, nick4 .... it'll respond 4 times if all 4 nicks are away. This can be a flood issue. So, you can make it reply to only the first nick in the nick list that is in the line of text and away by adding "halt" as shown below:
on *:text:*:#chan: {
var %nick.cnt 1
while (%nick.cnt <= $nick(#,0)) {
if ($nick(#,%nick.cnt) isin $strip($1-)) {
if ($readini(away.ini,$nick(#,%nick.cnt)) {
msg $chan $nick(#,%nick.cnt) is away $chr(123) $+ $readini(away.ini,$nick(#,%nick.cnt),Reason) $+ $chr(125)
halt
}
}
inc %nick.cnt
}
}
As a couple final notes... 1) You have to remove the section for the nick when they come back. You can't just remove the away reason or this will still think they are away. 2) If you have a very large channel or a channel where people talk a lot, this can end up using a lot of work from the script by checking the nick list on every line of text. Try it and see if it lags the bot too much. You can help reduce the lag by not checking any text from other bots that "talk" a lot in a channel (like a trivia bot) where you don't need to know if they are away.

if you mean to everyone in the channel then you cant, if you mean just to you then use ^ in the on text and put a HALT in if its the away message, ^ in on text is like
on ^*:TEXT:!away *:#:{

Tell people to msg the bot with the away command.
and use:
on *:text:!away*:?: {
commands
}
you can also set the bot to immediately close the msg (query) window so you don't have possibly hundreds open from this.
in the on text, insert:
close -m $nick
