Setup Custom Triggers

Note: This guide assumes you have a simple understanding of how Streamer.Bot works.

You can setup custom triggers, which allows the bot to respond to many events. In this guide, I will be setting up a trigger for a shoutout command, but with a simple understanding of how Streamer.Bot works, you can easily setup any trigger you want.

Create a new trigger

1. In Actions, navigate to the Events action.
2. In the Triggers section, add a trigger by doing a right click and go in Add > Core > Commands > Command Triggered.
3. If you already have a command, select it in the select field and skip to step 4. Otherwise, click Create Command.
4. Setup the command configuration as you wish, and click Ok, then Ok again. Here is an example of a command:

Setup a new event handler

1. In the Sub-Actions section, locate {} switch ("%triggerName%"), right click on it and select Add Case.
2. In the field, enter the type of trigger that you just added, in this case, it is Command Triggered, click Add, then Ok.
3. Now locate any switch case that already exists, like case (Reward Redemption), right click on it and select Copy Sub-Actions Contents.
4. In the newly created case, right click on it and select Paste Into Sub-Action.

Customize the event handler

1. Double click on the action called Twitch Add Target Info, and change the value to %input0%.

The variable %input0% corresponds to the first argument of the command. If the trigger is something else than a command, I suggest you to look at the Streamer.Bot documentation for that specific trigger to find the correct variable.

2. If you want the bot to only send the message in chat, double click on the action called Set argument %silent% and set it to True.
3. Double click on the action called Set argument %aiPrompt% and change the value to what you want the bot to do. In this case, I will set it to Give a shoutout to %input0%.
4. Since this is a shoutout command, I will also add a new action that triggers a Twitch Shoutout, in the case, right click and select Add > Twitch > Moderation > Send Shoutout, then set the value to %input0%.

Give instructions to the AI

The bot currently doesn't know what a shoutout really means, so I suggest you adding instructions explaining it. Here is what I added:

-When asked to give a shoutout, you are giving a Twitch shoutout, the information you are getting is from a previous stream, you must say that they were playing the game last stream.
-When asked to give a shoutout, be sure to be full of emojis and emotion, but don't put tags/hashtags.
