Dynamic Shoutouts with Streamer Bot

hey I'm violations this is the first time I'm doing one of these videos so bear with me we're gonna do a quick walkthrough of how to use the new event when you use a twitch based shout out so when you use the slash shout out command most of your Bots currently can't do anything with that the shout out appears to those who are not following the person who's been shouted out other than that it doesn't seem to do much our general chat who might be interested don't see that any on-screen effects that we do with our normal shout outs aren't being shown so let me show you what we can do to get around that and this is using streamer bot streamer bot just released a new update this weekend and they included with that a new event that actually catches when you give a shout out on your channel using the built-in twitch shout out command I'm going to actually use my browser and go ahead and do that so typically when I do my shout out just like an exclamation mark so and then I'm going to type in a username when I do that it's going to pop up on my screen now for me what I have it do is I have it actually display a card over there on the corner it has some graphics it has a little message that pops up in chat so you'll see that as well in the chat itself here well let's go with here it's probably a little easier to see so in that I'm capturing a little bit of information I've got the display name I've got what was the last category and I have the hyperlink over to their Channel still in my chat I also pop it up on the screen to give a little bit of extra attention now when I do the shout out and use a username here I'm going to go ahead and also just shout out my own channel just to make this easy I already have wired this up so when I use this shout out instead of it just popping up or hey you don't follow this person yet mine is going to look very much the same you're going to see the card pop up on the screen you're going to see the chat message pop up in the chat this effect can only happen when you're live so if you don't have a test account go ahead and create one get it connected to your OBS or get another instance of OBS and streamer bot ready before you start these next steps all right let's go ahead and dive into streamer bot and we'll get the Inception effect out of our way and we're going to build a new action so we're going to start out right here with a new action and this is going to be our new shout out okay we've got our new shout out action right here and just to make this a little bit easier to see as we go forward I'm actually going to enlarge this a little bit here so we can see what we're doing as we're building this action all right as I mentioned we use a lot of details in that one in particular we're pulling in the profile picture we're pulling in the last stream category Etc so we need to add a little bit of detail here we're going to do is basically send a message and I'm going to do the basic version here we're still going to get those variables we'll do a send a message to the channel we can choose our bot or broadcaster we're going to choose our bot if you have one great if you don't just use your own account and connect both in streamer bot and that's going to be just fine so we start off with our login to send a message wherever it went send message to channel there we go and just paste that in there and say go follow at a percent sign before two percent sign after our variable you're telling hey go follow that person okay the next time that we ran if we wire this up the next time we run this command it's going to just say go follow and give them that user's login version of their name not the display name if we want their display name that's going to be Target user display name so let's change that real quick here I'll explain why I grabbed that other one make you see what that does I'm going to switch this over and we're going to do that by going over to our platform we're going to leave this with just that basic info for the moment we're not going to grab anything extra we're gonna go to platforms which events we're going to change this from our twitch so our new shout out now the next time we run one it's going to pull up that information instead and then we'll be able to get that from our action queue and look at that history that is just fired and if we pull up that in chat go to the bottom we see the shout out and there it is go follow them over here we go to our action queue we can look at our last run from our action history and double click this to get actually into the variables and you can see that list is much shorter than what you were seeing before we have the idea of the shout out the target user the login display name profile primary color and the target user profile image the rest of these values are not going to help us in this case unless we want to say are they subbed are they a VIP are they a moderator are they affiliate are they partner um but some of these values also are our own so broadcaster is our current broadcaster the current running action the current broadcaster user ID all of these values and I'm not giving you any super secrets here because as you can see you could get these Yourself by typing in any user's name into this in the user's login name okay so we've got our values we've got our our tools here but we want to find out what game they're playing so we need one more action here we're going to do that here we're going to go back to the twitch section of the sub actions and we're going to choose get user info for Target now when I first set this up I thought from input because I'm doing shout out and then I'm putting input after it so that must be what it is in this case that's actually Incorrect and it will break because there is no input coming in because the event itself is not reporting that input it's reporting all of that data back as an object already so we're going to go with a variable and we're going to take one of its native variables here in this case we're going to take Target user login so Target user login okay so with that being used we're now going to get access to an entirely new set of data and we'll go ahead and I'm just going to copy my message from the other one for the sake of time here so we're going to go into my mod actions into here I'm going to just copy this action and I bring it up here to this one and we'll paste it in and I'll show you what we're doing inside of there so right at the top you recognize that Target user display name we used it already you've got the game is new we don't see that in the current list now even though it's just the category it's reported as game through this retrieval method and then we have the link with the user login and that's because we want that to actually display correctly somebody may change their display name without changing their login name so we want to make sure that their link is always correct to whatever their current user login name is so this is going to display just those three values and we can disable this one just by saying yeah we don't need that anymore we're now going to get the info and then report back the game so let's go ahead and give another shout out and this time let's use my mod here we'll shout out Annie benini so that shout out is gone and here you see immediately after we're pulling in the display name we're pulling in a category for where they were last streaming and we're pulling in the link over to their Channel all at once nice and quick nice and easy and all we've done is two actions in order to get to all of that information and then we'll shrink our way back out of inception so we can come back to a normal view here now again if we go to the action queue remember this is what we were looking at before we added that get Target now everything under running action ID is all this additional detail we have their profile image and their profile image escaped we have their target description so we can actually get the description of their Channel if we wanted to give additional details maybe we want to have something pop up on the screen and say hey here's a little bit about them or you want to throw that in a chat we can do that now and we have the game right down here so that again being the category if they're just chatting it's going to say just chatting there so maybe don't say they were playing say they were last streaming something along those lines to give it more action or what's the actual word I want here make it more compatible with the variety of things that people stream on Twitch all right that's easy enough I'm not going to go into the full experience of what I do because what mine does is it uses a combination of image masks and different layers displays there are a few additional actions I will say it's not difficult as you can see here I'm doing that in only a small handful of actions a delay before it turns them off so they're easy to do and we'll do another tutorial on that another time all right thanks everybody we hope you'll uh hit the like And subscribe button down below since we're doing this on YouTube I suppose I'm supposed to say that uh otherwise we'll see you around we'll see here we'll see you on Twitch thanks again and good luck
