DESCRIPTION

POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::BotAddressed is a POE::Component::IRC plugin. It watches for public channel traffic (i.e. irc_public and irc_ctcp_action) and will generate an irc_bot_addressed, irc_bot_mentioned or irc_bot_mentioned_action event if its name comes up in channel discussion.

METHODS

new

One optional argument:

'eat', set to true to make the plugin eat the irc_public / irc_ctcp_action event and only generate an appropriate event, default is false.

Returns a plugin object suitable for feeding to POE::Component::IRC's plugin_add method.

OUTPUT EVENTS

irc_bot_addressed

Has the same parameters passed as irc_ctcp_public. ARG2 contains the message with the addressed nickname removed, ie. Assuming that your bot is called LameBOT, and someone says 'LameBOT: dance for me', you will actually get 'dance for me'.

irc_bot_mentioned

Has the same parameters passed as irc_public.

irc_bot_mentioned_action

Has the same parameters passed as irc_ctcp_action.
