Documentation for the MoobotFactoids plugin for Supybot

Purpose

Moobot factoid compatibility module. Moobot's factoids were originally designed to emulate Blootbot's factoids, so in either case, you should find this plugin comfortable.

Usage

An alternative to the Factoids plugin, this plugin keeps factoids in your bot.

To add factoid say @something is something And when you call @something the bot says something is something.

If you want the factoid to be in different format say (for example): @Hi is <reply> Hello And when you call @hi the bot says Hello.

If you want the bot to use /mes with Factoids, that is possible too. @test is <action> tests. and everytime when someone calls for test the bot answers * bot tests.

If you want the factoid to have random answers say (for example): @fruit is <reply> (orange|apple|banana). So when @fruit is called the bot will reply with one of the listed fruits (random): orange.

If you want to replace the value of the factoid, for example: @no Hi is <reply> Hey when you call @hi the bot says Hey.

If you want to append to the current value of a factoid say: @Hi is also Hello, so that when you call @hi the bot says Hey, or Hello.
