15:13 <ILoveYou> does cinch support op levels above op? ex admin/owner? trying to implement some logic where if user is a level above the bot it will return a boolean

15:14 <dominikh> sure. it gives you a plain list of the user's modes

15:15 <dominikh> (there are no helper methods for > op in the Channel class, you'll need to work with the list of modes manually)

15:17 <ILoveYou> i think i found what you're referring to: the hash of users that returns the array modes, right?

15:18 <dominikh> yea

15:19 <ILoveYou> thanks. exactly what i was looking for

21:45 <ILoveYou> missing something here: trying to access the list of user modes. i believe it's m.channel.users but if i debug that output using to_yaml i just get a list of pretty much every variable cinch is using

21:46 <dominikh> m.channel.users is a Hash of User -> Array.

21:46 <dominikh> and yes, User has a reference to Bot, which would explain why to_yaml serializes pretty much the entire bot's state

21:47 <dominikh> m.channel.users[user_i_care_about] will give you an array of strings, each string being one of the user's modes.

21:48 <ILoveYou> i've been attempting to do so using m.channel.users[m.user.nick], m.channel.users['ILUBot']. it seems to just be adding a "ILUBot" key to the hash with a nil value. no idea why

21:49 <dominikh> m.user, not m.user.nick

21:49 <dominikh> it's a hash of User->string, not string->string

21:50 <ILoveYou> welp. that was incredibly easy

21:50 <dominikh> (as for it adding a new key to it, that's because Ruby is annoying with regard to default values for hashes :))

21:53 <ILoveYou> hah - that's kind of why i'm doing this. i haven't worked much with hashes or arrays. i'm trying to bash my head against the rocks until i understand them better - thanks
