I am developing my own irc bot and in the channel I'm in, one of the ops is able to activate the bot, but run it under its nickname without adding a new nickname connecting the channel.
For example, a nickname guy @James, and he activated a bot that says hello when you do .hello:
+John: .hello
@James: Hello, John.
Any idea how this is possible? The only way I was able to launch my bot was to connect it to the server and channel with a completely new nickname.
