Hi folks,

is it possible to create an autoresponse if somone for example from
webchat logs in ?

I have this here, but this reacts only on chat entry, can it read the
host somehow on join?

on *:TEXT:webchat:#uthgard:/say ^webchatuser detected

Thanks

You can use the ON JOIN event to trigger when a nickname joins the
channel.

    on *:join:#uthgard: {
      commands here
    }

You can use $address() to get their hostmask. Look up the $mask
identifier in  mIRC's help file to see how to use $address.

For example: $address(SomeGuy,5) would evaluate to their full
hostmask: SomeGuy!someuser@some.host

Inside of an ON JOIN event, $nick will evaluate to the nickname of the
person who joined.

As an example, lets say I wanted to say something to every nickname
joining with a comcast.net domain at the end of their host.. something
like this would work:

    on *:join:#uthgard: {
      if (*comcast.net iswm $address($nick,2)) {
        msg $chan Hey $nick $+ , you should consider changing internet
service providers!
      }
    }

In mIRC you can get help on 95% of the scripting language by using the
help file. A quick way to access specfic parts of it is to use the
/help <topic> command. Here are some things you should look up:

    /help on join
    /help if then else
    /help $nick
    /help $chan
    /help $address
    /help $mask

Let me know if you need help with anything else or have trouble with
something, I'll be glad to help.

Thanks so much, this makes sense.

I understand the hostmark thing, but how do I pinpoint it to just
webchat users?

Can you provide an example of how the host looks from a webchat user?

It's always different

(07webchat@h-157-53.a357.priv.bahnhof.se09)
(webchat@172-126-252-24.lightspeed.bcvloh.sbcglobal.net)
(webchat@ip1f11f9ff.dynamic.kabel-deutschland.de)

I just want it to respond to anything joining from a webchat client.

It looks like the username always has "webchat" in it. If that's
correct, then you could do something like this:

    on *:join:#uthgard: {
      if (webchat isin $address($nick,1)) {
        msg #chan Hello $nick $+ ! You are probably a webchat user.
      }
    }

There is no surefire way to say for certain that a user is a webchat
user. Someone who's using a normal IRC client could simply put
"webchat" in their user field, for example. It might also be possible
for a webchat user to change their user (some allow this, some don't)
in the web client.

The other option is: If the webchat client has a unique CTCP VERSION
response, you could have your bot CTCP VERSION every person joining
the channel, and if the response is from the web client you want to
act on, act on it.

A lot of people would find this annoying though, and CTCP VERSION
responses can be blocked, or changed depending on the features of the
IRCd and web client.
