Setudef

Eggdrop users often like a script's functionality to work on only some of the channels the Eggdrop resides on. For example, an Eggdrop running a Tcl script that greets every user is nice on a small channel, but would quickly become annoying on a busy channel where users are joining every 30 seconds. There are two ways you can enable a script to work on only some channels the Eggdrop resides on.

User-defined Channel Flags (Preferred)

From doc/tcl-commands.doc, you can use the setudef command:

setudef <flag/int/str> <name>

    Description: initializes a user defined channel flag, string or integer setting. You can use it like any other flag/setting. IMPORTANT: Don’t forget to reinitialize your flags/settings after a restart, or it’ll be lost.

This command creates a new flag setting that can be used via the

.chanset

command, and viewed via the

.chaninfo

command. To create a custom flag that a script can check, create it by adding the setudef command:

setudef flag myscript

This will add a flag that can be viewed, enabled or disabled via the partyline:

User defined channel flags:
     -myscript

As with any other Eggdrop channel flag, it can be enabled or disabled with the .chanset command:

.chanset #test +myscript
Successfully set modes { +myscript  } on #test.
[22:42:18] #-HQ# chanset #test +myscript 

.chaninfo #test
User defined channel flags:
     +myscript
