question-bot advice for beginners - mIRC Discussion Forums

hi,i just made a bot that ask question yester day,and im giving advice to how to make a question bot to mirc beginners

step1:
first u make the question
example:
on 1:text*:!question*:#:{
/msg $chan yes or no
/msg $chan A) yes
/msg $chan B) no
}
step2
: then u make the answers,u make the answer's word is a match text and then something like "right!" appear,.
example:
on 1:text:*yes*:#:{
/msg $chan Correct!
}
then follow those instruction to continue ur question's then...
if u like u can like make a info box about the bot using the matchtext script.
thats all i liked to share.thanks for reading!

That is incredibly bad advice.

I don't know what I was reading there at all to be honest with you, but it certainly wasn't advice. That *yes* matchtext is a no go. You're going to get "Correct!" if yes is mentioned in the string totally not related for example:

Darren Hayes is lame.

Correct!

I agree with Dave there, it's an unreliable source of help.

Code:

on 1:text[color:red]*[/color]:!question*:#: {
  /msg $chan yes or no
  /msg $chan A) yes
  /msg $chan B) no
}

The stuff in red shouldn't be there. So none of that code will truly work as planned.

I'd actually use Token Identifiers for these kind of tasks.

/help Token Identifiers

tokens are hard
its in my list of things to learn along side $regex
i even have the tutorials printed out and in the bathroom

you may as well hold on to your advice until you see a post that you think you can help on

I told him where to look in the .hlp file, which is a great help. I didn't do any Token examples, it explains all you need to know in the file. Telling anyone any different is wrong.

Slade is right he gave plenty of information to help this person with the help files and explaing that the code wasnt going to work as planed, now ricky you didnt post anything usefull except that you read tutorials on the can, sorry but your post was a waste of time to read and for you to write.

Please don't ever give advice anymore to beginners.

The reason to give help to beginners is to let them learn useful coding techniques and tricks, not crap like you just posted. That is literally the worst trivia bot I have ever seen.

Oh well, let's just assume that you posted this "advice" more for educational reasons, than to show off your script, so thanks for sharing, but no thanks.

Cya

hey im a beginner too u no?
thats y i have this simple bot script....in fact he's my first bot ever.....u meanys......so far i no matchtext,join scripts u no? sheesh

To be quite frank with you dude, I don't think your bot qualified for being simple.

i was talking to him cumquat ( him being the bot master guy cyber access or whatever)
i misspointed my reply thats all
sorry for the mix up

good thing u didnt submit to mirc.net
they laughed one of my submissions down
no telling what would have happened to you
