stop posts on chan.

[heartbroken]

salut a tous..

hi .a friend of mine ask me for help for about a code what he uses on his eggdrop. he said he uses this code for triggering some help lines on channel.its a very simple code what he used. so he asked me that some help triggers are too long,and i want to cut that off with a "!stop" command and than bot should stop posting these help lines on channel.
(by the way those help lines not in a readable .txt file)

so i tried couple of things allnight long on this code.but i couldn't make it to stop the bot posting lines.here it is my edit of the code :

Code :

bind pub - !start foo_start
bind pub - !stop stop_foo

proc foo_start {nick uhost hand chan text} {
if {![isop $nick $chan]} {
  global foo_status
  set foo_status 1
  if {!$foo_status} break
utimer 15 [list puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :message"]
utimer 25 [list puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :message 1"]
utimer 35 [list puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :message 2"]
utimer 45 [list puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :message 3"]
}
}
proc stop_foo {nick uhost hand chan text} {
  global foo_status
  set foo_status 0
}

but as you can see ,its not working .so than i connect #egghelp channel for to get a suggestion how can i do that !stop thing*.
and speechless suggest me to edit like that,they said it should work like that.here is the second edition of this code:

Code :

bind pub - !start foo_start
bind pub - !stop stop_foo

proc foo_start {nick uhost hand chan text} {
    if {![isop $nick $chan]} {
        global foo_status
        if {![array exists foo_status]} {
            set foo_status(1) [utimer 15 [list puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :message"]]
            set foo_status(2) [utimer 25 [list puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :message 1"]]
            set foo_status(3) [utimer 35 [list puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :message 2"]]
            set foo_status(4) [utimer 45 [list puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :message 3"]]
        }
    }
}
proc stop_foo {nick uhost hand chan text} {
    global foo_status
    foreach timer [list 1 2 3 4] { killutimer $timer }
    array unset foo_status
}

but this edition is not working either...
and it has some terrible issues : like when it starts !stop not working and gave an error on partyline like : invalid timerID stop_foo..
and if when make it !stop you have to restart the bot after to try second time !start command..so its useless and not working for to stop posting lines.

so i would like to open a new thread in here for to ask your advices and suggestions for about this issue.

thanks in advance.
