Forums Scripts & Popups How to see if nick was identified

Searched for it but couldn't find anything (even couldn't find numeric answer) so realy sorry if it was somewhere

Now the problem
I've made trivia Bot and i need for some commands to check if user has identified for his nickname, so /whois is not the best way i think

now i've done so that bot performs /whois and saves status window buffer 10 lines and then it checks if there's a line ' $nick has identified for that nickname ' but it takes a time

so are there any suggestions?
thanks

well, dunno what network you're on, but on Quakenet e.g. you can /who that nick with some special parameters and you only get the line if the nick has been identified...

any way, you'll have to work with raw events (you could also do that with whois)

Quakenet--> /who <nick> n%na --> raw 354 (iirc) will return 0 for not being authed or the auth nick...

maybe you can transfer this to your network...

Performing a whois is the only method you can know if a nickname is identified or not. On some networks IRCoperators can see usermodes for other nicknames via a command or so, there the identification usermode appears "Usually +r".

However you could make an alias that halts raw numerics and only allow one numeric 307 to echo Here. .

I wish this could help.

thanx Symphony
raw 307 is exactly what i needed
but why it's not in rfc1459.txt ?
thanx again

Nick/username registration isn't part of the IRC specification.
