Nightbot custom commands

Custom commands are both entertainment and help for the viewers. They can contain various channel details and information that the viewers may want to know.

Commands can be added by two methods:

Broadcaster method:

1. Log into Nightbot website and navigate to the "Custom commands" section.                                        

   

   
   
2. Click on the "+ Add New Command" button. You should see a pop out menu with settings inside.       

   

   
   

3. In the "Command Name" box write the command you want to create proceeded by an exclamation mark e.g. "!rules" .                                                                                                                              

   

   
   

4. Set user access. This will restrict the command to specific user groups. (Keep in mind that your moderators can use all of the commands apart from those you will set to be owner only)                      

   

   
   

5. Type up a command response. It will be the outcome of using the command.                                        

   

   
   

6. To finish, click "Add New Command" and your command is ready to be used.                                     

   

   
   

Moderator method:

• To add a command, write !addcom -ul="user level" !"command" "Response"
• User levels you can use: mod, reg, owner. And if you want to completely remove the restrictions, just simply delete the -ul="user level" bit.
• Example of a command: !addcom -ul=mod !test This is a test. - This will add a !test command that is only available for use to mods and the broadcaster with "This is a test" response from nightbot.            

  

  
  

You can include variables in your response to work in various ways, to learn more about them visit this page - http://wiki.nightbot.tv/chat:variables

These are the best two ways to make users aware of your custom commands:

• Include your nightbot command page in the channel description, mod command or a timer. To make a link, write your channel name after the slash https://www.nightbot.tv/commands/"link" for example https://www.nightbot.tv/commands/motllilknight .

Or

• If you want all the commands to be visible in the chat instead of a linked page, categorize them in a timer or another command for mods to use in the chat. e.g. !help  Response - !test1 !test2 !test3.
