PBot has several useful core built-in commands. Additional commands can be added to PBot through
|
||||
Plugins and Factoids.

### Plugins

### Advanced interpreter
|
||||
|
||||
PBot can dynamically load and unload Perl modules to alter its behavior.
|
||||
PBot has an advanced command interpreter with useful functionality.
|

These are some of the plugins that PBot has, there are many more:
|
||||
#### piping
|
||||
|
||||
Plugin | Description
|
||||
--- | ---
|
||||
[GoogleSearch](Plugins/GoogleSearch.pm) | Performs Internet searches using the Google search engine.
|
||||
[UrlTitles](Plugins/UrlTitles.pm) | When a URL is seen in a channel, intelligently display its title. It will not display titles that are textually similiar to the URL, in order to maintain the channel signal-noise ratio.
|
||||
[Quotegrabs](Plugins/Quotegrabs.pm) | Grabs channel messages as quotes for posterity. Can grab messages from anywhere in the channel history. Can grab multiple messages at once!
|
||||
[RemindMe](Plugins/RemindMe.pm) | Lets people set up reminders. Lots of options.
|
||||
[ActionTrigger](Plugins/ActionTrigger.pm) | Lets admins set regular expression triggers to execute PBot commands or factoids.
|
||||
[AntiAway](Plugins/AntiAway.pm) | Detects when a person uses annoying in-channel away messages and warns them.
|
||||
[AutoRejoin](Plugins/AutoRejoin.pm) | Automatically rejoin channels if kicked or removed.
|
||||
[AntiNickSpam](Plugins/AntiNickSpam.pm) | Detects when a person is spamming an excessive number of nicks in the channel and removes them.
|
||||
[AntiRepeat](Plugins/AntiRepeat.pm) | Warn people about excessively repeating messages. Kicks if they fail to heed warnings.
|
||||
[AntiTwitter](Plugins/AntiTwitter.pm) | Warn people about addressing others with `@<nick>`. Kicks if they fail to heed warnings.
|
||||
You can pipe output from one command as input into another command, indefinitely.
|
||||
|
||||
There are even a few games!
|
||||
<pragma-> !echo hello world | {sed s/world/everybody/} | {uc}
|
||||
<PBot> HELLO EVERYBODY
|
||||
|
||||
Plugin | Description
|
||||
--- | ---
|
||||
[Spinach](Plugins/Spinach.pm) | An advanced multiplayer Trivia game engine with a twist! A question is shown, everybody privately submits a false answer, all false answers and the true answer is shown, everybody tries to guess the true answer, points are gained when people pick your false answer!
|
||||
[Battleship](Plugins/Battleship.pm) | The classic Battleship board game, simplified for IRC
|
||||
[Connect4](Plugins/Connect4.pm) | The classic Connect-4 game.
|
||||
#### command substitution
|
||||
|
||||
You can insert the output from another command at any point within a command. This
|
||||
substitutes the command with its output at the point where the command was used.
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !echo This is &{echo a demonstration} of command substitution
|
||||
<PBot> This is a demonstration of command substitution
|
||||
|
||||
For example, suppose you want to make a Google Image Search command. The naive
|
||||
way would be to simply do:
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !factadd img /call echo https://google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=$args
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortuately this would not support queries containing spaces or certain symbols. But
|
||||
never fear! We can use command substitution and the `uri_escape` function from the
|
||||
`func` command.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that you must escape the command substitution to insert it literally into the
|
||||
factoid otherwise it will be expanded first.
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !factadd img /call echo https://google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=\&{func uri_escape $args}
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !img spaces & stuff
|
||||
<PBot> https://google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=spaces%20%26%20stuff
|
||||
|
||||
#### command splitting
|
||||
|
||||
You can execute multiple commands sequentially as one command.
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !echo Test! ;;; me smiles. ;;; version
|
||||
<PBot> Test! * PBot smiles. PBot version 2696 2020-01-04
|
||||
|
||||
#### advanced $variable interpolation
|
||||
|
||||
You can use factoids as variables and interpolate them within commands.
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !factadd greeting "Hello, world"
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !echo greeting is $greeting
|
||||
<PBot> greeting is Hello, world
|
||||
|
||||
PBot variable interpolation supports [expansion modifiers](doc/Factoids.md#expansion-modifiers), which can be chained to
|
||||
combine their effects.
|
||||
|
||||
<pragma-> !echo $greeting:uc
|
||||
<PBot> HELLO, WORLD
|
||||
|
||||
#### inline commands
|
||||
|
||||
You can invoke up to three commands inlined within a message. If the message
|
||||
is addressed to a nick, the output will also be addressed to them.
