Modules/bIRC/ircJoinChannel

From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki

Package-x-generic.png This function is provided by the external module Basic IRC Module. You must install this module to use this function.

This function can be used to join a channel. Note that a delay of 2-3 seconds should be used before calling this function inside callback event_ircOnJoinChannel.

Syntax

bool ircJoinChannel ( ircbot theBot, string channel, [ string key = "" ] )

Required Arguments

  • theBot: The ircbot which is going to join the channel
  • channel: The channel which the ircbot will connect to

Optional Arguments

  • key: The key (password) for the channel. Needs to be specified for channels which have key set

Returns

Note: Does not return true if ircbot successfully joined or false if the bot failed to join the channel. You can check if the bot joined the channel by using callback event_ircOnJoinChannel.

Example

function resourceStart ( )
    theBot = ircCreateBot ( "DummyBot" )
    ircConnect ( theBot, "irc.gtanet.com", 6667 )
end
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement ( getThisResource() ), resourceStart )

function event_ircOnConnect ( theBot )
    setTimer ( ircJoinChannel, 2000, 1, theBot, "#testchannel" )
end
