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 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.

Returns the various bits of info on the factoid for the given key. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

listauth [<channel>] <author name>

Lists the keys of the factoids with the given author. Note that if an author has an integer name, you'll have to use that author's id to use this function (so don't use integer usernames!). <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
