Monitoring users via list Options

[repick_]

Hello,

I've searched to the best of my abilities, but I couldn't find a script that worked to my specifications.

Explanation:
The script that I have in mind would be based around monitoring users that are online, but not in a game, and when prompted to, whisper a list of those players to the asker. I was thinking the bot could store the userlist in a .txt file and periodically do /whois commands on users to see if they were 1) online and 2) not in a game, and flag the users in the .txt file. It wouldn't have to be instantaneous (update every couple minutes), but it is nice to have a list of players that are capable of joining a game. Also, when a user wants to retrieve a list of the online users, he/she would whisper the bot the command and the bot would reply via whisper with the list. Perhaps include a functionality to periodically check using b.net's /who <channel> command to check for users on the list that happen to be in a channel.

Well, the reasoning behind this system is because I couldn't find a "community" oriented management script as opposed to a clan oriented script. The reason I ask is because I'm a frequent player of the WC3 map SWAT:Aftermath and our community is both clan based and community based (many games are organized in the SWAT channel). Having a list of high caliber players that happen to be online is a huge plus when trying to organize games, hence this thread. Since, a lot of players tend to hang out in the SWAT channel or their respective clan channels, I figure that using a /who command and scanning for users on the list would be more efficient than doing /whois's on every user regardless if they were already spotted in a channel.

Commands:

.listadduser <username> :Access 70. Adds a user to the list of users to monitor. Replies publicly to confirm that user has been added to list.

.listaddchannel <channel name> :Access 70. Adds a channel to the list of channels to periodically check. Replies publicly to confirm that the channel has been added

.getlist :Access 20. Replies to user via whisper, sending the list of online players to the user. The list has usernames seperated by a semicolon or |. Perhaps as flood control this command could only be executed every 15 seconds or so?


Is this a reasonable request? I appreciate any help anyone would offer.

I would say wait until 2.7 comes out *coughSeptembercough*, along with Ribose's User Monitor that works.

The only half-way decent solution would be using the friends list, which is restricted to 25 users.
