Frequency/Auto Settings

[LunaWasHere]

Is there any chance there can be some sort of Auto setting? A previous markov bot I was aware of allowed you to set a % chance for every message that was typed by a user in a listened channel to trigger a message from the bot. It created a lot of very fun chaos because the bot would chime in at random times and you never knew when or what was gonna happen. Additionally, if we can get % chance setting for how often it embeds an image instead of it randomly choosing to embed an image alongside its post that would also be wonderful!

Did anyone happen to fork this and implement this feature? Feels kind of useless to have a markov chain bot that can't auto-trigger.

Did it myself, here's the git diff if you want to give it a try (could do with not being an int, 1% may be too high of a min chance for most use cases)

You can then build the docker image and import it like this (probably a more efficient way to tag on save but I couldn't be bothered to read the docker docs)

Locally
> docker build .
> docker image ls
> docker save -o discordmarkov.tar <id>
> scp discordmarkov.tar yourserver:

Server
> docker load -i discordmarkov.tar
> docker tag <id> discordmarkov:tag
and reference discordmarkov:tag with docker/in your docker-compose.yml
