That all depends on what you mean by echo and what template you are useing. The real question is why would you want to?

Mabey he cant use callbacks?

You can use "say" without a callback, but that only works once. Razz

The only alternative to callbacks would be to code something directly into the bot, for example my bot has "mute", "mask", and "chat" all built in. They're kind of like callbacks in that they are consistent, but they're not callbacks because they don't call any commands.

Callbacks as andromeda implements them don't realy call the command back either, its more a of hey_paste_this_onto_what_the_user_says_if_its_not_already_a_command vairable but I thought that name was a bit long.

If it doesn't actually call the sub back, then that's just confusing. All the commands I've seen with callbacks seem like the sub is called every time.

My bot calls the sub and it works basicly the same way:

If you read what i have done then you welll see its effect is the same but its actualy more flexible. All callbacks on andromeda do is exactly what i said above. If the user says something and it doesn't start with a command char then add the command char + call back to the beggining of the message and see if its a command now. You could then do very cool callback. For isntance if you want the user to input !mods add user=eric@yahoo.com with call backs you set the callback to "mods add user=". Then when i say "eric256@yahoo.com" it realizes thats not a command and adds the call back to the begginging and then checks agian "!mods add user=eric256@yahoo.com". Commands are then easy to make because they don't care if they are being called directly by the user or by callback because there is no difference to them. Does that make more sense now or have i just added to the confusion?
