PIRCBOT - How to add voice to all users in the channel - Java

Question

I'm using the pircbot to make an IRC bot. How do I make the bot add voice to all the users in the channel? Or when the users join?

Answer 1

Probably something like this:

import org.jibble.pircbot.*;

public class MyBot extends PircBot {

  public MyBot() {
    this.setName("MyBot");
  }

  public void onJoin(String channel, String sender,
                   String login, String hostname, String message) {
    this.voice(channel, sender);
  }

  public void voiceAll(String channel) {
    int i = 0;
    User[] users = this.getUsers(channel);
    while (i < users.length)
      this.voice(channel, users[i++].getNick());
  }
}

public class MyBotMain {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    MyBot bot = new MyBot();
    bot.connect("irc.freenode.net");
    bot.joinChannel("#chan");
    bot.voiceAll("#chan"); 
  }

}

You should verify some stuff before voicing (are you in the chan? are you operator?). Take a look at the API page: http://www.jibble.org/javadocs/pircbot/index.html.
