Well, I have wanted to (for fun.. T_T..) make a bot which annoys the crap out of people when you pm them.. but not when you !cmd them.. I need a wildcard functon in which you know... does the wildcard thingie..

Oh so it has to do a wildcard thingy when you !cmd then.

I think you'd want something like this.

Code: Show/Hide

void wildcard_thingy()
{
do (*)
{
annoy_user();
}
return "user annoyed!".
}

But I may be wrong.

Well, it depends on the bot core. Most bot cores had a function for registering commands (!help, etc) and most also have generic handlers for messages. I don't know how some bot cores handle this, but mine would not send the generic message event if a command was handled first. Thus, a simple 'if privage message and first letter is !' test would be a wild card equiviant of what you want.
