Moving from mIRC to Hexchat, How to set auto-respond script?
reddit / irc

Hello all!

So my current mIRC command is:

on \*:text:\*Contest is now open, please type !enter to enter to the
contest\*:#:msg # !enter

When channels bot or moderator sets contest/giveaway with standard
message "Contest is now open, please type !enter to enter to the
contest" my client responds automatically !enter

How do i can get this working on Hexchat? I have Python script support
installed currently. Sorry for newbie question, but i haven´t found
answer from anywhere else.

hexchat.register('auto-reply', '1', 'auto replies to stuff')

        local function on_message(args)
          -- You should probably check args[1] against specific nicks
          if args[2] == 'Contest is now open, please type !enter to
enter to the contest' then
            hexchat.command('say !enter')
          end
        end

        hexchat.hook_print('Channel Message', on_message)

Save as `autoreply.lua` (its not python)

is itt possible to run scripts upon joining a channel with hexchat? or
other non-chat-text actions/events
