How to not get new message notified in treebar by trivia bot messages?
Added by Like Fireal about 2 months ago
Hi!
How can I make it to ignore some users like trivia bots on some channels? I don't want to get notified every time a bot drops the same message again, only genuine users.
For context, I don't know if everyone has this, but I set it to change channel colour in treebar every time a user says something.
I have tried the Ignore option, but the trivia bot disappears altogether. I would still like to still be able to see the messages when I visit the channel, just not get notified (don't want the channel colour changed in treebar on new bot message).
I think the Notify option would be a good idea, but there is only Add.
Something like Notify > Don't notify from this user.
Is this option available anywhere?
Thank you!

That's an interesting problem.
Currently there is no such option, but you can work around it with a small script that inserts the message directly into the message buffer, while halting the default message routine, something like:
on ^*:TEXT:*:#channel:{ if ($nick == botnick) { echo -t < $+ $nick $+ >: $1- halt } }
Replace #channel with the channel and botnick with the botnick,
You can check the wiki page for /echo for more formatting options, if necessary.

Oops missed the target window.
on ^*:TEXT:*:#channel:{ if ($nick == botnick) { echo -t $target < $+ $nick $+ >: $1- halt } }

Sorry, not a programmer :) .
Do I need to specify/type in this target window as well?
Does this script load automatically with every program start? I just went to Edit Scripts, replaced channel and botnick and closed.
Thank you!

Go to Menubar -> Tools -> Edit Scripts or press ALT + R to open the Script Editor, paste the script into the editor and press Save. It will automatically load with AdiIRC on startup.
You don't need to change $target, it will always be the channel name.
