Why are the bots case sensitive?

[bubbles19518]

When i type !score it should be no different then if I type:

!SCORE
!Score
!ScOrE
!sCoRe
!SCOre
!scoRE
!sCore
!scOre
!scoRe
!scorE

Obviously this should apply to all the different functions.

Heres some sample psuedo code:

if(strtoupper(command) == "!SCORE")
{
//Execute code silly
}

or

if(strtolower(command) == "!score")
{
//Execute code silly
}

it would require a lot more coding, as far as my understanding goes

or perhaps robots really don't like to be yelled at

if its java it would just require replacing case sensitive comparison functions with case-insensitve comparison functions

not all functions are case sensitive either lol

and some functions used to be insensitve and now arnt, just one of those things i guess :P

yea this always gets me

i use caps lock as a functional playing button in TW and am always doing things like !SUB

Why are the bots case sensitive?

bad coding

[Ignominy]

like I said

perhaps not case sensitive, perhaps just plain sensitive

!SCORE
!Score
!ScOrE
!sCoRe
!SCOre
!scoRE
!sCore
!scOre
!scoRe
!scorE

We got your point, kid. Why does it matter anyway.. only noobs type in caps lock

WTF AMI NOOBS NOW?!

[Ayano]

bad coding

More like lazy, but it's easier to handle commands of one case.

[stark]

I don't think bots have a problem handling laborius commands, as they are simply programmed responses to triggers



But, i'm gonna have to agree as sometimes i will hit shift while moving my other hand too fast and capitalize the first letter or two in the command... at least, when I played, anyways

1. why !score when there's the darn scoreboard nowdays?

2. If you do, macro it! Only reason to !score is if you're alt-tabbed, right?
