Thanks for the PR!
I've pushed another commit which slightly changes the behaviour; since you're unlikely to want a given prefix to forward as a command in both directions, the characters are specified separately now; for example, to forward commands starting with either !
or ?
from Discord to IRC, and commands starting with =
from IRC to Discord, you'd use:
{
"irc": {
...
"command_chars": "="
},
"discord": {
...
"command_chars": "!?"
},
...
}
Of course, if you do want a given prefix to forward both ways, simply add it to both lists :)
Greetings, and thanks for your effort on this bot <3
This pull request adds command handling to the link bot.
In short, most IRC/Discord bots require that their trigger command (a string prefixed with ? or ! or something) is the first word of a message. Since the linkbot prefixes all messages with the name of the sender, I taught it to recognize command prefixes (with a list in the config file), and send any of those messages out without a username attached. For identity, it will say "Command send by (name)" before the non-username-prefixed message is transmitted on its own.
