Does the alert box escape any quotes or similar in the {{message}} variable? I'm concerned that if I do const message = "{{message}}"; a person's message might include a ", ' or ` character, in which case no matter how I try to capture the variable their message could break out of the string bounds, and, worst case, inject whatever content they want into my overlay

... I just realised this is a dumb question because I can test it, brb

okay it looks like capturing the message in a ' or " string is safe, but capturing it in backticks (string templates) is unsafe

cool

[elfin arch]

from @terse crest: "Like that? https://cssgradient.io/blog/css-gradient-text/"

[terse crest]

Okok I see you, bot

^

[elfin arch]

hahah; i was thinking you were hacked for a second; then saw the message the bot got ya for 🤣 ; requested that be whitelisted

[terse crest]

I'll dm you another sus link, that can be helpful

[feral nest]

that looks amazing

[elfin arch]

The hype bar / hypeboss bar color can't be changed inside of the SE editor ..... but lx shared with me a trick a while back . +@severe shell . It can be overridden in OBS when you import the source; OBS Custom CSS; add: ```css
.bit-boss-wrapper[data-status=healthy] .health-inner {
background: #ffa500;
}
.bit-boss-wrapper[data-status=medium] .health-inner {
background: #ff7034;
}
.bit-boss-wrapper[data-status=weak] .health-inner {
background: #8b0000;
}

adjust background colors as you need.

Hello. I work for streamers who order overlays from me. I wanted to know if there is a way to export an overlay from my own SE account for them to import to theirs. This would be much more convenient than asking them for their code, etc.

[hardy walrus]

@quiet kindle as of right now there's 2 options though only 1 immediately

[uneven oxide]

Follow these steps to grant managers/moderators access to your dashboard:

1. Click on your channel name at the top of the dashboard
2. Create a new invite at one of three access levels (Bot Supervisor, Editor, Full Control)
3. Send this invite to a mod/manager to give them access to your dashboard. The link is one-time-use and expires after 72 hours if not accepted

[quiet kindle]

Thanks a lot !

[wheat jackal]

I'm getting an error when I'm trying to replay a gifted sub (of 5) in dashboard/activity

[arctic tiger]

seems to be a auth error.

[severe shell]

Thanks pjonp! Nice "hack" 😄

Where it says G2Esports, you should put the account ID. Go to the same place you get your JWT and copy the Account ID

[broken coyote]

you can find alot of that stuff in the inspector

[severe shell]

Hmm, that's true... Last time I looked at the widgets on the inspector I was learning HTML, CSS and JS, months ago... Forgot completely that would be possible! Thank you! 😄 😄 😄

[jolly scroll]

Hi there! Someone gifted 50 subs in my stream today, however the creditroll only shows 25. How can I fix this?

[severe shell]

Streamelements recent sub activities register only the last 25 ones, that's why the credit roll will take only the last 25 subs, you can see them here
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session

You would need a custom widget that would be able to save the subs somewhere else for that.

[jolly scroll]

Ah okay, is there any other way to change that?

[zealous basin]

so I tired that linear wave @terse crest in css editor, it doesn't pop up a transparent name, just a big gray box with the linear wave name.

[terse crest]

I guess you did something wrong

[zealous basin]

I just copy and pasted

[terse crest]

You supposed to adapt it for your needs, not just Ctrl-c Ctrl-v it

[zealous basin]

well yea.. obviously. I did the color frame portion, and keyframed it, but I can't figure out how to remove the background

[wheat jackal]

Why would that be, when other events work fine

[arctic tiger]

Hard to say without the code

[wheat jackal]

[misty garden]

I just imported my alerts over from Streamlabs with their custom CSS, but none of the images/webm videos display and the text just shows at the top of the screen. Are there standard adjustments that need to be made to the Streamlabs imported code to get it to talk to Streamelements assets?

This is what things are looking like straight from the Streamlabs side

[thorny eagle]

bless

[sacred urchin]

I am unable to view the tipping page, the image is what occurs, same goes for when i open up the actually tipping page

if anyone can help, it'd be appreciated

[inner lagoon]

I filled out the form to get the overlay share ability last week, any idea how long it takes to hear back?

[severe shell]

Try to logout and login again:
https://streamelements.com/logout

[inner lagoon]

Yes. make a new alert box and turn on the custom css and look at what the formatting of it is and adjust your custom stuff to fit

or alternatively, what i did when i imported my alerts over, is i just turned off the custom css and made adjustments to my alertbox with the streamelements UI until it looked the way i wanted it. your css looks standard where you can easily do that

[opaque wasp]

window.addEventListener('onWidgetLoad', async function (obj) { let data= obj["detail"]["session"]["data"]; lfollow = data["follower-latest"]["name"]; });
is returning the following error
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')

But I'm 100% sure this was working yesterday. What's going on?

[opaque wasp]

According to the documentation it should be working too.

[elfin arch]

This code is correct. Check your session data; is there a latest follower listed?

[opaque wasp]

Yeah I can see them via Data visualization settings and also via console.log(obj["detail"]["session"]["data"]);

[elfin arch]

i dropped it in a widget real quick and your code works. are you using the overlay editor? only thing i notice is a missing declaration for lfollow (let) but that shouldn't cause any issue; are you using a Twitch account and in the Overlay editor?

is there a full console.log(obj["detail"]["session"]["data"]["follower-latest"]) Object for you?

[opaque wasp]

I'm using the overlay editor yes.
The declaration is before the event handler.
I tried with my Twitch account and with an account of a person whom I'm an editor of.
Yeah, console.log(obj["detail"]["session"]["data"]["follower-latest"]) is displayed correctly.

[elfin arch]

🤔 ... this is odd. maybe try to log out and log back in?

[uneven oxide]

Please logout of StreamElements at https://streamelements.com/logout and then login again to your account (Twitch/YouTube/Facebook).

[opaque wasp]

The funny part is that I already did it using a link above in the chat, let me try again.

Still not working.

[elfin arch]

i'm confused; is that all of you code? are you sure that is the line causing the error? your code copy-pasta'd

as expected. no errors; shows last follower from session data

[opaque wasp]

Imma do a check, another time

After another logout-login it got back working

Idk want went on, thanks tho

[elfin arch]

no problem. really weird. thanks for the heads up if stuff starts erroring out randomly for people. 🤣

[pulsar willow]

@elfin arch Hello, thanks for your help. Turns out I can't 'post a link' because its one of those things where you go through the site & the URL doesn't change with it. To recreate how to get there please follow the URL & see the screenshot above 🙂 https://streamelements.com/dashboard/themes

[elfin arch]

oh. haha. thanks. i didn't realize that was one of the ones in the gallery

[pulsar willow]

haha its cool 😂😂😂

[elfin arch]

hahah. it's #2 on the new list; i should have checked. i'll give a look and see if i can find it.

[pulsar willow]

Keep in mind I would have changed the default style too, so if you think 'that's not it'.....it's probably it LOL

[elfin arch]

ahh ya. yours does look cooler. i'll see if it can be added. you want it always 4 places?

[pulsar willow]

My choice at any time would be great but 4 is a good starting point

[elfin arch]

alright @pulsar willow ... so this uses an external package "odometer"

[pulsar willow]

uh huh? lol

[elfin arch]

make a copy/duplicate for the one that you have now.... just in case I mess it all up 🤣

basically; going to change a bunch of the code in it

[pulsar willow]

Really? Are you one of the devs?

[elfin arch]

Nope; but there is some newer code and you'll have to remove a lot of the existing. so it might break or it might work

[pulsar willow]

LETS GO 💪

[elfin arch]

go here and copy all of this: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HubSpot/odometer/b589e93ee8470417213706569ed472144d121f82/odometer.js

[pulsar willow]

Done

[elfin arch]

in the custom widget JS tab; delete everything after line 27:

and replace with that code.

[pulsar willow]

Where is the JS tab?

[elfin arch]

click on the widget; then Open Editor

[pulsar willow]

Here?

[elfin arch]

ya. click on the custom widget on the left; then it should say open editor (again on the left)

[pulsar willow]

No there

[hardy walrus]

Settings

[pulsar willow]

ok, got it, swapping the code now

[elfin arch]

then change DIGIT_FORMAT to just 'd' and set your MIN_INTERGER_LENGTH.... and 🤞

[pulsar willow]

Thats my line 45

[elfin arch]

find the diget format and min_int_length

[pulsar willow]

ok, found it

[elfin arch]

should be right in there somewhere

[elfin arch]

yup yup. '(,ddd)' will do commas, like 1,394 and just 'd' will do just numbers, 1394

[pulsar willow]

I have this now but not change in OBS. Should I re-add the URL?

[elfin arch]

ya. because we made a new one (just in case it breaks) so new overlay link

[pulsar willow]

wait

I didn't save in the edtor

OK, now I have this, how can I get rid off the commas?

[elfin arch]

disregard last message; you edited original.

check what you set for the DIGIT_FORMAT again

[elfin arch]

you either want '(,ddd)' for 1,000 or 'd' for 1000

[pulsar willow]

BOOM You did it! This is great!!!

Gonna save that source code too!

[elfin arch]

niiice! thank the gitHub guy he did all the updates, i just had to find it 🤣

[pulsar willow]

Well this is really good, I code in a much different language so tinkering with is was ok just as long as you told me what to do haha

[elfin arch]

haha. ya. this one was easy; just a bunch of copy and paste, luckily

[pulsar willow]

Yeah, well now I can see 4 digits for the 3 viewers I'm likely to get 😂😂😂 Thanks again!

[elfin arch]

no problem! 🤞 you roll over into the 100's

[pulsar willow]

hahah lets hope 😂😂😂

[elfin arch]

@floral sandal; i see you have an API for Trovo viewers, see up some, wondering if I can use yours for Trovo support.

[floral sandal]

What do you mean?

[elfin arch]

the viewerCount widget on SE, it works for Twitch but I need an open API to get it for Trovo

can i use yours 🙂

[floral sandal]

Oh, yeah, I have it public and all. I haven't coded them to have an option to only return the number though, so not sure what you intend on doing, but it's available.

[elfin arch]

👍 just wanted to check. i can regrex it down to just the numbers. thanks!

[wheat jackal]

this bug is still there. "I'm getting an error when I'm trying to replay a gifted sub (of 5) in dashboard/activity"

[elfin arch]

haha; at least that was the goal @floral sandal ... i'm CORS blocked.

[elfin arch]

have you tried logging out and back in?

[wheat jackal]

yes

[elfin arch]

is this a recent event?

like within the last 2 days?

[wheat jackal]

Yes. It's other streamer's event

[elfin arch]

are you using Edge as a browser by chance?

[wheat jackal]

no chrome

I can try using incognito

maybe some extension is blocking it or something

[elfin arch]

ya; try Chrome incognito ....

that is normally an Edge error (from what I've seen)

[wheat jackal]

yeah no, still same thing

[wheat jackal]

I was checking that in the first place, because when I was monitoring live. When sub gift was gifted, children of the event didn't have bulkGifted key in them. So they were gifted: true, but didn't have bulkGifted

but now when I can't even replay runned gifted subs, I feel like something else is broken

I can try different browser and even different pc, but i doubt it will help

[elfin arch]

"bulkGifted" is the event from the Gifter

[wheat jackal]

sorry *isCommunityGift

[elfin arch]

So let's say i gift 10 subs to you; you will get 11 events .... first event is "PJONP bulkGifted = true .... then yup, 10 events of isCommunityGift

[wheat jackal]

ok I was wrong. I wasn't using isCommunityGift, form what I can tell

But it's still weird that I can't replay gifted sub events

[elfin arch]

you mentioned it was on a streamer's account, is that not one of your own accounts.

[wheat jackal]

not my own account

shared access

[elfin arch]

ahhh. haha; ya so you logging in and out doesn't help much. they would need to try and relog

[wheat jackal]

really?

huh

[elfin arch]

well; maybe...

i guess; first question does it work if the streamer hits the replay button?

... trying to narrow down the issue here; do the replay alerts not work for streamer? is only the gift sub one not working? ... or are the replays not working for managers/editors

[wheat jackal]

from what I've tested only gifted subs aka bulkGifted don't work in managers/editors mode

[elfin arch]

do you know if they work from the streamer account?

[wheat jackal]

Also is it normal that when I replay bulkGifted children events, they don't have "isCommunityGift" key

[wheat jackal]

I'll ask them to do that

[elfin arch]

i'm not sure; I would assume that isCommunityGift = true

[wheat jackal]

they get same error, even when they logged out and logged in

[elfin arch]

can you get them to grab their accountId; gonna request a staff to look into it.

[uneven oxide]

Please provide your account ID found at the top of this page: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/account/channels This ID is public info and safe to share here.

[elfin arch]

and then; i think final question; is it just the "GIFTER" event that is broken? do the children subs work?

[wheat jackal]

Yes. But I think they run as non "isCommunityGift"

so they are just gifted

[elfin arch]

yup yup; i'm adding that for sure; cause it should have that.

can you check if the replay event has a name and sender in the event from the feed

[wheat jackal]

the children of the bulkedGift?

yes they do have name and sender

[elfin arch]

does the sender match the person that sent the gift?

[wheat jackal]

yes

[elfin arch]

Thanks for the info; passing on for staff to look into.

[dark kindle]

Hey @wheat jackal,

Could you please confirm with the streamer if this error appears only when replaying the alerts? Are the alerts showing properly when live?

[cinder charm]

can anyone help, i am looking to create a scroll bar at the bottom of my screen that includes (and updates) latest follower, Sub, etc. all in one bar not separate, can this be created within S.E or is it an external Browser source/widget

[wheat jackal]

yes, only when replaying alerts

[valid crater]

I'm aware that this isn't the right place but I need to figure out if this is a Linux issue, and figured some of you are Linux users. After converting these clips to VP9 and uploading them to StreamElements to use them for my alerts, I can't get the SOUND to work in OBS. The file itself and the video within the web editor, the sound and video work perfectly. The problem occurs between StreamElements and OBS but I cannot figure it out. And yes, I have tried using the Control Audio via OBS option, it doesn't change anything

[tacit dust]

could someone please help me with the 404 leaderboard problem?

[tranquil steeple]

Hi.
I was tinkering with a couple of custom widgets and wanted to make a master-widget to set and comunicate some shared settings across all the slave-widgets.

I used SE_API.store.set('key', 'val'); to set the value from the master and then listen for a kvstore:update in the slave widgets. And this worked just fine.

However, I then wanted to update a field in the master-widget with SE_API.setField('key', 'value'); together with a button press and realized that this actually updated all the slaves since the field names are the same for all of them.

This made everything much easier. Now I don't need to add extra handlers in the slaves.

But this seems "dangerous" to me and it was very unexpected. I thought SE_API.setField('key', 'value'); only updated the field for the widget running the code.

The documentation (https://github.com/StreamElements/widgets/blob/master/CustomCode.md#se-api) doesn't seem to mention this feature, hence my surprise.

TLDR: Is SE_API.setField('key', 'value'); supposed to set the fields of every widget in an overlay with a matching key?

[terse crest]

The data object in api store is one for all widgets

[pulsar willow]

Does anyone know a better way to dynamically add an outlining to an img than the following? (The image has alpha.)

CSS:

           drop-shadow(5px -5px 0px black)
           drop-shadow(-5px -5px 0px black)
           drop-shadow(-5px 5px 0px black);```

It's the accepted answer to a corresponding stackoverflow question, but I'm not the biggest fan of the results.

[terse crest]

don't think there's better one

[pliant adder]

Hello all, does anyone here have this issue of where having different variations of a follower alert sometimes cuts out the rest of the alert text?

Here is a video of what I mean

I think it may have to do with the CSS/HTML of my Smash Bros alerts. The other ones work just fine

[sacred urchin]

that didnt work for me unfortunately

[tiny hound]

does anyone have a fix for this widget, it stops working as soon as anyone types anything in chat..??

[sacred urchin]

my chrome isnt allowing me to view the tipping settings or the actual tip page, it works on other browsers but not this one for some reason? any ideas on why ?

[broken coyote]

you can set this to NO, it wont stop on a new message

or you can leave it on YES and add

if (obj.detail.listener === "message") return;

to line 155 in JS

[pulsar willow]

dont know if this is the place, but is the price for earnings on a stream being weird for the emails? as mine dont add up is says 4* 5$ subs but says it equals 24.92 should i be concerned? or just kind of a weird thing

[charred pewter]

Could anyone help me with some basic CSS/JS?
I am using
https://github.com/StreamElements/widgets/blob/master/TopEventsRotator/
And I've made a bunch of changes to make it visually suit. However the last change I want to do is make it scroll like a marquee rather than fade in and out

[hardy walrus]

@pulsar willow Due to the regional and affiliate/partner differences it's sent based on the previous breakdown and USD amounts.

[pulsar willow]

thanks for the answer 👍

[pliant adder]

Turns out my default variant was also playing, and that one had the broken code. It works for now

My question is then why would the default follower notification play even though there are variants of it?

[manic mauve]

Hi. I am trying to join my dashboard but everytime I click on Go to dashboard the page reloads and nothing happens.

It is same with profile and other..

Okey I solved it I guess. It isnt still working on Chrome but it works on Microsoft Edge

[pulsar willow]

Oh that makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

[young shard]

try this https://stackoverflow.com/a/69196391, yes it requires javascript but it'll be the smoothest outline (with multiple widths) you can do outside of maybe using svg

[young shard]

default counts as a variant

[terse crest]

actually Pog

[silk kite]

I'm not sure where else to ask; I set up SE Pay, but every time I try to go "Tipping Settings" I get a brief flash of something before the screen just goes empty?

I've tried refreshing, reopening the tab, etc. but it always just flashes before going blank

( @ me if you have/know anyway to fix this please 🙂 )

[terse crest]

Tried to log out and in again?

[silk kite]

actually I haven't tried that but I probably should have, thanks haha

Aw, it didn't fix :/

[pliant adder]

my question is why does it say otherwise here

im confused

[young shard]

oh didn't know that follower alerts had that
then yea idk that's weird

[pulsar willow]

thank you 👍

I modified it to:

const r = 4;                         /* width of outline in pixels */

const n = Math.ceil(2*Math.PI*r);    /* number of shadows */
const color = "black";

var str = '';

/* append shadows in n evenly distributed directions */
for(var i = 0;i<n;i++) {
    const theta = 2*Math.PI*i/n;
    
    str += ` drop-shadow(${ r*Math.cos(theta) }px ${ r*Math.sin(theta) }px 0px ${ color }) `;
}

document.getElementById("test-id").style.filter = str;

Hello! I’m trying to make some timers that show who the top gifter and top cheers in chat, but I don’t know what variables to use.

[haughty bramble]

Hello guys, I'm looking into making a commandA to call out commandB, do you know if that's possible?
Example:
!hit - user has been hit ${count} times
!block - user has blocked the hit - and this command to call out a command which does -1 from the "!hit" command

It is a bit complex, I've look in a few docs, but so far can't find a way to call out another command
I can't really think of an simpler way to explain it

[ionic hearth]

Hello, I'm trying to add a custome alert and it doesn't show. I changed the resolution from the 4 opinion and nothing. I tried custom on 1920 × 1080 nothing. Your help will mean a lot!

[snow birch]

hey team! I'm trying to make an animated overlay but when I try to add a video, it doesn't allow me to add .mp4 or .webm files. any assistance would be super helpful

[hardy walrus]

@snow birch browser or obs.live?

[severe shell]

You can set the same variable name for both commands, but the !block would subtract one, for example:

!cmd add hit user has been hit ${count "${user.name}_hit"} times
!cmd add block user has blocked the hit and the new hit counter is ${counter "${user.name}_hit" -1}

${user.name}_hit will create a variable called c4ldas_hit, dim4oU_hit, depending on who ran or was marked for the comamnd... You can work around that to meet your needs. You can also test with ${touser}_hit, I don't know exactly how you want the command, but you have options

[severe shell]

Is the video bigger than 30MB? This is the most common issue. Other than that, does it appear any error message?

[haughty bramble]

Thank you for the detailed explanation. I’m wondering is there any doc I can check as reference for something similar?

[severe shell]

You can use the command variables:
https://streamelements.com/dashboard/bot/command-variables

[snow birch]

browser

[snow birch]

yeah :/ it is

[ionic hearth]

Help?

[drifting vortex]

Hello, so I just streamed and got a sub but for some reason it didnt get recorded in the stream activity part?

[severe shell]

From the preview window, the image does not appear, it is just an empty field. Can you send the image to check?

[ionic hearth]

Send the image on discord?

[severe shell]

Which platform are you talking about? I recommend checking on #helpdesk-twitch, #helpdesk-facebook,#helpdesk-youtube or #beta_trovo channels

[severe shell]

Yeah, so I can try to replicate the issue on my side to check

[severe shell]

Oh, ok, it is a gif, right, just a min

[ionic hearth]

yes, also i cant even edit the text font

[severe shell]

@ionic hearth Gif images have a strange behaviour on alerts, so I would recommend that you convert to .webm format, which is a video and also support transparency. I did the job for you, but you can use the https://ezgif.com/gif-to-webm to convert when you want

Also, for the image, I suggest that you use the first layout option

[ionic hearth]

Alright that makes sense. So convert my image and change the text layout once I do. Thank you

[severe shell]

One more thing, play with this setting in case the follower name does not appear:

[ionic hearth]

Sweet, cheers!

[drifting vortex]

Ah right thank you, sorry I wasnt sure

[sly beacon]

I have a question with a follower animation. I want to add a gif at the same time as an audio track, I've tried everything, but I can only use the gif with the regular follow sound or the video without the gif. Is there a way to play the gif and video in the background without it being seen?

[severe shell]

Well, there is an option to add a sound right below the Image/video option. You can click on "UPLOAD SOUND" and choose your audio file.
If you are using a video with audio, you can even adjust the volume for each of them

[sly beacon]

I have tried that and the only option I see is "delete" I don't see "submit" like I do with other things

[severe shell]

If you see "delete" it is because you are not adding an audio, probably you are on the wrong tab.

[sly beacon]

This is what I see

[severe shell]

Are you trying to add a video or audio file? Because if you click on UPLOAD SOUND, it will only give you the option to add audio files

[sly beacon]

That's exactly what I want to do. I want to add that audio file to the gif I have at the top left, but can't seem to find a way how.

[severe shell]

The screenshot you sent only contains video files, not audio files, you are on VIDEOS tab. If you want to only get the audio from the video, you will need to extract the audio first. You can use https://mp3cut.net/, upload your video file and it will give the option to save only the audio part.
In case you already have an audio file, you just need to click on Upload (top right of your screenshot) and upload the audio file. Then you will be able to choose it from the "SOUNDS" tab

[sly beacon]

That worked! Thank you so much!!

PizzaMark — Yesterday at 5:34 PM
I filled out the form to get the One-click overlay share link ability about 2 weeks ago and have not heard back.
PizzaMark — Yesterday at 6:16 PM
Any idea how long it takes to hear back? every time i ask in here i get no response

[pulsar willow]

what are the payments options for SE.pay?

[broken coyote]

i can assure you that asking over and over isnt going to speed things up. be patient

[inner lagoon]

Idk man, you weren't even aware of the form so how can I be sure that they're actually looking at it?

[real summit]

Is there a way I can make lines in the chat box descend? Lines of text entries from viewers going down instead of up?

[young shard]

not without coding a custom one

[snow epoch]

if you're on twitch, pretty sure either BTTV or FFZ has that option

yeah, bttv

[real summit]

I figured as much, time to learn coding! 😅

[terse crest]

I can share to you my widget

[uneven oxide]

@pulsar willow, posting suspicious links will result in not being able to post again.

[real summit]

I would love that 🙂

Hello again, I have some trouble with the Step Goal Widget by @simple wraith I lov ethe idea but if I set my goals I won't see anything. The Goal will only appear if they are reached. f.e. i put my Donation Goal to 0 --> Nothing appears. I Put it on 150€, the goal for 100€ appears, but I won't see the nex goal 250€. How can I fix this?

[simple wraith]

this depends on the step-multiplier.

[simple wraith]

if you decrease the "steps", i.e, you do 100, 125, 150, etc. Do you see them?

Sometimes the "steps" or gaps from goal 1 to 2, 3, etc. are too big, i.e: 100, 500, 1000. There's an aditional field "multiplier" that's used to dirty-math-multiply the fading option to "tease" the next goals and get them to show, if that's the case.

[verbal vigil]

okay if I decrease the Steps from the goals, i see it

[verbal vigil]

I'm not sure if I understand this step. Can I fix this via the Editor? Because we need much biger Steps

Okay, nevermind - got it^^ Opacity multiplier

Thank you for your help and for this awesome widget!

[simple wraith]

That's it!

It's been a while since i've fiddled/updated it, so i've been doing it from the top of my head. Glad to hear this solves it 👏

[strong tulip]

does streamelements has any API?

I want to make contests by request

[hardy walrus]

First link in channel topic.

[strong tulip]

holy f

sorry and ty

if discord would introduce channel popouts on first enter it would be cool

[hardy walrus]

If you're on desktop you can easily see it regardless of window size. Mobile on the otherhand is a bit special due to sizing "issues".

[pulsar willow]

Any recommendation to stretch letters height in overlay editor through CSS ? Maybe font recommendations ?

[young shard]

you can use transform: scaleY() in css
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/transform-function/scaleY()

[pulsar willow]

Thank you! I will try it out ... Even thought I'm not the best at coding lol

Is there a way to get rid of the '8 ball says' in the 8ball command/module... (not sure if im asking in the right place)

[misty vault]

hii when i do a recording on OBS live, I dont know where the recording saves on my Imac...is there a typical place it should save too?

[torn bough]

Quick question - I changed my name on twitch and had to relog into all of my accounts. BetterTTV is no longer showing up in my stream elements chat overlays? Was curious if anyone else has experienced this problem and could help. BTTV IS working and all of my accounts HAVE been resigned into. Chat can see the emotes on Twitch itself, its just not showing on SE

[warm glen]

Hi, I wanted to switch to Stream Elements but I have my old donation integration tied to SL API (custom website written in PHP), and after I look into Stream Elements API Docs I realized that I would need an actual app to be able to apply for an API key (company name, logo, redirect URL which I don't have because the app is not public I don't allow users to sign in and use the app as their donation portal if they want it they will have to host it themselves the source is public on github), will Stream Elements ever allow users to create their own API key? and use with their custom donation portal?

[warm glen]

it should be there in the settings, if you use the OBS studio program the path is in OBS Settings > Output > Recording Path, it should says where the file is saved you can also change it if you want

[terse crest]

Then probably better go to fonts.google.com and find a font here :)

[terse crest]

What functions does your API perform? You may not need a key if there's something simple as alerts etc

[warm glen]

I just need to send tips alert to SE, the API does require authorization to do that
and I need to get the API key which I need a Oauth2 credentials to be able to get that API key

[inner lagoon]

I filled out this form given to me by @hardy walrus for the one-click overlay sharing ability about 3 weeks ago and havent heard back. How can i confirm that this is being looked at by someone? https://form.asana.com/?k=R1cL_2hpCK74zXViBD2Hug&d=224349692947415

[broken coyote]

ah. back again i see

[inner lagoon]

Yes I will keep asking until someone confirms that this form is actually still being used and someone is going through the applications. I have a twitch partner thats been waiting on this share link to share it with the masses

[broken coyote]

soooo.. your not needing the link. they do?

[inner lagoon]

i need the link to share with them so they can distribute it

[broken coyote]

do they have a share link access?

[inner lagoon]

and i work a fiverr gig making widgets for people and without the one-click sharing ability my only option is to apply for each individual widget or have them manually paste the code in\

[inner lagoon]

thats what the application is for so i can make a link for them

[broken coyote]

so. the application is for their info, not yours?

[inner lagoon]

no?

i made the widget. i need the ability to make a link to share it

[broken coyote]

so they are just going to share your link

[inner lagoon]

yes

[broken coyote]

why didnt you just submit it to #widget-share ? you'd get it posted on their, get the code guru role, and get share link access

also get a sweet hoodie

[wet basin]

I middle of Stream and had stop but Raid Shadow of legends sponsored link not working for plarium.com l have or there website

[oak plume]

@viral patrol thank you for the only working way I've found to have patreon alerts on stream. I'm looking at the JS and Data for the widget, but unable to see where I can make the alert last longer.

[steady cave]

So im using the API with just the JWT Token and have most of what i need working. (Node app running the code and sending it to nodered via socket.io) but i cant seem to get info on "Sound Effects" redemptions but i can for normal "Stream perks" redemptions.
Everything is passing through the event variable

    console.log(data);
    serverio.emit('event', { data });
});```
Is there a different variable needed to see Sound effect redemption data?

[inner lagoon]

because it's was a paid widget by my client and he gets to distribute it since he paid for it, not to be posted for everyone in here

and like i said, because i do more custom widgets for people and will need the ability to quickly make a link

and some widgets are private

[shy remnant]

When is the merch section getting new merchandise in?

[terse crest]

I do custom widgets too, and my way is to let steamer invite me as an editor to their account. So I can easily install, tune and debug everything. No links, no headache.

[viral patrol]

The alert duration is not dynamic there, the only way to adjust that is to work with timing of GSAP events I think.

[marsh furnace]

Can someone help me with how to import a widget that i built using html/css to streamelements?

[broken coyote]

sure. what kind of widget

[marsh furnace]

I have a HTML/CSS/JS code of a donation goal. And i would like to import it to streamelements

[broken coyote]

you can dm me the code you have and i can throw it together

[marsh furnace]

Ok!

i will send you

Hello, I'm just wondering why my top tippers list is not updated, also doesn't reflect to my tip goal widget in my overlay. I've tried to reset the session data, but it still didn't update. But it got recorded on my tip list. Anyone knows why? See pictures below:

Like some other posts here - not sure if this is the right channel but -- is there any way I can use a chat command control the contents of a text source? (I'm using vanilla OBS but will possibly switch to OBS.Live).

[paper nacelle]

Hello, I have made the move from streamlabs over to stream elements recently. I am asking for some help. I am trying to, but unsuccessfully trying to add new quotes in my stream. the quotes I had in slobs I was able to import in but, now when trying to add all that happens is that an old quote populates instead. I have looked in the dashboard and there is no commands listed to be able to add in chat by myself or my mods? also is there a way to make a scrolling thank you list credits to be used for end of stream?

[knotty zenith]

quick question, is taking the code for another widget, adding some features on top of it, and submitting it allowed? or can it only be for personal use at that point?

to be more specific, it's the stream marathon timer by LX that i'm editing. i'm just trying to add some extra features and quality of life improvements after seeing a streamer struggle with it a bit and if it works out good i wanna share it with the community.

[hardy walrus]

@viral patrol For your consideration

[azure jolt]

Does anyone have a method for getting the length of the audio played in an alertbox widget in js?

[misty escarp]

Hey guys! I'm trying to set up a rotator widget, however i'm currently stuck trying to get it to show the top 3 gifters, cheerers, and tippers of the month (similar to the leaderboard on top of twitch chat). is that doable?

[azure jolt]

Can you access SE_API from an alertbox in any way?

[terse crest]

no

only from custom widgets

[terse crest]

doable ofc, you need to track all your events, save them into lists and show in your widget

[azure jolt]

Managed to work around it by reversing the logic. Would be nice to have some version of the variation ui for custom widgets

[terse crest]

You can achieve almost anything using custom widgets, variations are not the hardest thing

[viral patrol]

Sure. You can grab any widget from the past and make it better. There are multiple chat, goal, marathon widgets that share code and have different designs, but of course we select those that are going to be published, so minor changes may not be enough to become a widget for widget-share channel

Hi quick question how do i share an overlay? I just finnished one and i want to give it to a friend so they can use it but i find no way to share it

[pulsar willow]

Afaik your friend could add you as an Editor, then you should be able to copy the overlay to your friend's account.

[oblique torrent]

Okay cool thank you ^^

[unreal matrix]

i'll paste it here as well as im not sure which it belongs to

hello! i'm helping a friend with converting a custom widget meant for streamlabs to a streamelements widget in overlays
we're not running into any issues in regards to visuals but the data isnt updating
i assume this is because the variables differ between the two services but i'm not well-versed enough in JS to tell where
would anyone be willing to assist?
Thanks in advance!

sorry for the repost!

[severe shell]

Well, you can find the SE variables here (also on this channel description): https://github.com/StreamElements/widgets/blob/master/CustomCode.md
The link will give you a lot of information related to the custom widgets and responses from each event.
And yes, this is the channel you will find help. 😊

Check if you find what you want on the link, otherwise you can share some pieces of you code and the good devs maybe can give you a hand.
If you put your code between triple back quotes ( ` ) will be easier to read.

[unreal matrix]

Thank you!

Let me share some of the code

  $('#title').html(obj.detail.titel);
  $('#goal-total').text(obj.detail.amount.target);
  $('#goal-end-date').text(obj.detail.to_go.ends_at);
  $('#goal-current').text(obj.detail.amount.current);
  var total = $('#goal-total').html(),
      current = $('#goal-current').html();
     $('#total-bar').css('width', current / total * 100 + '%');
  $('#goal-total').text(obj.detail.amount.target + '');
  $('#goal-current').text('' + obj.detail.amount.current);
});

document.addEventListener('goalEvent', function(obj) {
  $('#goal-total').text(obj.detail.amount.target);
  $('#goal-current').text(obj.detail.amount.current);
  var total = $('#goal-total').html(),
      current = $('#goal-current').html();
    $('#total-bar').css('width', current / total * 100 + '%');
  $('#goal-total').text(obj.detail.amount.target + '');
  $('#goal-current').text('' + obj.detail.amount.current);
});```

this is the version from the streamlabs widget

it doesn't seem to update for the SE widget

[severe shell]

Put three back quotes before your code and three back quotes at the end. It will be way easier to read.

[unreal matrix]

oo ty

i just put 1

this is what i have tried to no success

  $('#title').html(obj.detail.titel);
  $('#goal-end-date').text(obj.detail.to_go.ends_at);
  $('#goal-total').text(data["tip-goal"]["amount"]);
  $('#goal-current').text(data["tip-session"]["amount"]);
  var total = $('#goal-total').html(),
      current = $('#goal-current').html();
    $('#total-bar').css('width', current / total * 100 + '%');
  $('#goal-total').text(data["tip-goal"]["amount" + '');
  $('#goal-current').text('' + data["tip-month"]["amount"]);
});
window.addEventListener('onEventReceived', function (obj) {
  $('#goal-total').text(data["tip-goal"]["amount"]);
  $('#goal-current').text(data["tip-session"]["amount"]);
  var total = $('#goal-total').html(),
      current = $('#goal-current').html();
    $('#total-bar').css('width', current / total * 100 + '%');
  $('#goal-total').text(data["tip-goal"]["amount" + '');
  $('#goal-current').text('' + data["tip-month"]["amount"]);
});```

[broken coyote]

window.addEventListener('onWidgetLoad', function (obj) {
  $('#title').html(obj.detail.titel);
  $('#goal-end-date').text(obj.detail.to_go.ends_at);
  $('#goal-total').text(data["tip-goal"]["amount"]);
  $('#goal-current').text(data["tip-session"]["amount"]);
  var total = $('#goal-total').html(),
      current = $('#goal-current').html();
    $('#total-bar').css('width', current / total * 100 + '%');
  $('#goal-total').text(data["tip-goal"]["amount" + '');
  $('#goal-current').text('' + data["tip-month"]["amount"]);
});
window.addEventListener('onEventReceived', function (obj) {
  $('#goal-total').text(data["tip-goal"]["amount"]);
  $('#goal-current').text(data["tip-session"]["amount"]);
  var total = $('#goal-total').html(),
      current = $('#goal-current').html();
    $('#total-bar').css('width', current / total * 100 + '%');
  $('#goal-total').text(data["tip-goal"]["amount" + '');
  $('#goal-current').text('' + data["tip-month"]["amount"]);
});

I assume this originally came from code pin. I say this because they spelled "title" wrong lol. And I converted what I believe to be this widget already

[unreal matrix]

oh really!

where could i find that?

thank you both so much !!

[severe shell]

I would also suggest that the first thing you do is add a console.log(obj) below window.addEventListener etc etc etc so you can see possible values on console provided by onWidgetLoad and onEventReceived.
Based on that, you can check the values you want. But you will also have them here:
onWidgetLoad: https://github.com/StreamElements/widgets/blob/master/CustomCode.md#on-widget-load
onEventReceived (this will always depend on the type of event, if it is a tip, you can emulate a tip event on SE overlay editor): https://github.com/StreamElements/widgets/blob/master/CustomCode.md#on-event

[unreal matrix]

hey sorry to bother you again but I still can't seem to get it to work even after editing the text with the documentation!

  console.log(obj)
  let data=obj["detail"]["session"]["data"];
  let recents=obj["detail"]["recents"];
  let currency=obj["detail"]["currency"];
  let channelName=obj["detail"]["channel"]["username"];
  let apiToken=obj["detail"]["channel"]["apiToken"];
  let fieldData=obj["detail"]["fieldData"];
  $('#title').html(obj.detail.titel);
  $('#goal-total').text(data["tip-goal"]["amount"]);
  $('#goal-end-date').text(obj.detail.to_go.ends_at);
  $('#goal-current').text(data["tip-session"]["amount"]);
  var total = $('#goal-total').html(),
      current = $('#goal-current').html();
     $('#total-bar').css('width', current / total * 100 + '%');
  $('#goal-total').text(data["tip-goal"]["amount"] + '');
  $('#goal-current').text('' + data["tip-session"]["amount"]);
});

document.addEventListener('onEventReceived', function(obj) {
  console.log(obj)
  $('#goal-total').text(obj.detail.event.amount);
  $('#goal-current').text(obj.detail.event.amount);
  var total = $('#goal-total').html(),
      current = $('#goal-current').html();
    $('#total-bar').css('width', current / total * 100 + '%');
  $('#goal-total').text(obj.detail.event.amount + '');
  $('#goal-current').text('' + obj.detail.event.amount);
});```
this is what i edited, please let me know if there's something wrong

[broken coyote]

Send me the original working SL widget and I'll convert it @unreal matrix

[hollow thunder]

so im confused, if i set my bot timers to 10 for everyone of them, will they all go off at the same time? not sure how to properly set their intervals without spamming chat

[terse crest]

Is there a way to update my internal SE nickname? I mean it appears right everywhere except for when people add me as an editor they see my old name

[alpine nimbus]

Hey, it seems you have a bug in your home-page.
the avatar is not displayed ( nothing is displayed )

[severe shell]

Usually, logging off and logging on again works. I had a colleague who had this as well, and after he logout and login from SE website, it got showing his current username

[severe shell]

No, they won't. It will give an small interval between each message. But if you want, you can just set different times, add one minute or two of difference between each one

[terse crest]

Didn't work for me, and on chatbot moderator's page it's showing old username too

[opaque wasp]

Is it possible to create a widget that shows current pool/prediction stats within Streamelement?
In attach there is a widget I've found on an italian stream.

how do I change this response? I can't find it anywhere. I want it to say !enter instead of !ticket 1

[hardy walrus]

Unfortunately not possible.

Of course it is possible, but it requires access to the twitch account and working directly with the twitch api

Can you do TTS from a custom widget?

[terse crest]

Hey I just bought a elgato game capture HD I have set it up with the software and set it up on obs but obs is capturing the full e lgarto software only thing I could think of is to crop the window but it's not letting me is they any way of only capturing the game screen on obs

[hardy walrus]

#tech-talk

[terse crest]

Due to old version?

[broken coyote]

Doesn't work on current obs

You would have to keep chrome open in order for it to work

[terse crest]

I mean chrome version

[hardy walrus]

@broken coyote Next OBS is getting bump to 95 so maybe

[broken coyote]

I'd ball out some 3.1

Works fine in the editor. But it won't work in OBS. If you wanna see how I do it. You can check out that share link I posted

[hardy walrus]

https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/actions/runs/1567020044

Hello I am looking for using streamelents bot with python and I want bot to get information from twitch api ... Where should I begin also I want to use data which bot is collecting

[atomic sentinel]

Good morning. I am getting a white screen every time I log into Stream Elements and go to the dashboard. I use chrome & even tried Explore. I was able to get on it with my phone & noticed when I clicked on 1 of my merged accounts other than Twitch and Trovo it did the same thing and now it is the same way on mobile as well. On the left is what happened when I click go to dashboard. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

[atomic sentinel]

This has been handled.

[cloud geode]

is "checkbox" a field type, currently Stream Elements is reporting its an invalid type?

[terse crest]

Should work fine

Mb check for typos

[cloud geode]

  "showTime": {
    "type": "checkbox",
    "label": "Show Time"
  },

ahhh

that last comma

doesn't like a trailing comma

[terse crest]

Yep, pretty strict around here

[cloud geode]

also is "onEventReceived" the best handler to listening to settings changes?

[terse crest]

No, onWidgetLoad

[cloud geode]

ah the widget is supposed to reload after a settings change?

[terse crest]

Yep

[cloud geode]

okay im noticing slider and text box trigger a reload

but checkbox doesn't

when flipping it on/off

I need to hit Save and the manually reload page

[terse crest]

Yeah, I noticed that behavior too

Idk if it's a bug or feature

And so I use dropdowns with yes/no instead

[cloud geode]

good idea haha

[wanton meadow]

Hey again. I still haven't heard from anyone regarding GIFBot being approved for the API yet. Is there something else I should be doing?

[hardy walrus]

Lemme see if I can poke someone.

[cloud geode]

what the best way of "releasing" a finished overlay?

like sharing it

[native wharf]

How do you all set up development environments when creating overlays? I'd like to be able to test alignments and animations without having to push all of the parts to streamelements and work in the overlay editor.

For context, I'm building a new set of alerts on a 1920x1080 canvas, but if I line everything up in vscode/chrome, it doesn't line up when I move the code to the streamelements dashboard

[vague cipher]

Does anyone know the full limitations of the SE_API object for custom JS widgets? Is it just the methods shown in CustomCode.md?

[terse crest]

Afaik yes. But what else do you need?

[vague cipher]

Can you access the chatbot via that object?

[terse crest]

No, it's for storing the data from your widget

[vague cipher]

does that data persist between sessions? or does it get removed?

[terse crest]

It works like a database, so it doesn't get removed

[vague cipher]

Thanks for the info!

[eternal pagoda]

THANK YOU, PIN THIS!!!

[severe shell]

If you are referring to a widget created by you and want to share it publicly, the best way is following this link:
https://strms.net/codeshare

But if you just want to send the overlay to another person, it is better to ask the person to add you as editor on their Streamelements Dashboard and then you can duplicate your overlay to their channel

[severe shell]

I think this can help you: #dev-chat message

[native wharf]

I will take a look. Thanks 🙂

Ah hell, it was in the pinned messages. I'm extra dumb. I'll check there first in the future

Yeah I have my main stuff working fine with the normal API stuff and have a app running doing more automated stuff. But with the OAuth2 api you can have more control and info. I wish they make a personal app application instead of a full out app for others. It's only for me 😭

[hot trout]

if it's just for you just use the jwt?

[steady cave]

That's what I'm using, but there's more you can do with the OAuth2

[elfin arch]

you should be able to do everything the API has with JWT.

[steady cave]

So right now one thing I can't seem to figure out is the Sound effect redemption. They don't show any info of them being used unlike normal redemption. Could you maybe point to somewhere that shows all the options available for JWT? The docs are confusing

[elfin arch]

I'll take a look; the sound effects should be in with all the other redeems

[steady cave]

That's what I thought too, normal redemption show up fine just not the sound ones. I'm listening to "event" and everything shows up there. Just not the sound effects.

Also would you be able to do bot control over the JWT too?

[elfin arch]

Are you listening to the webhooks for the event?

[steady cave]

Yeah

[elfin arch]

I gotta find my webhook code and fire it up. And also ya; should be able to control bot too.

[steady cave]

I'll give you 2 WHOLE cookies is you find this info

[elfin arch]

i like cookies @steady cave. I see:

that is for sound with type: effect and a normal redeem:

[steady cave]

Hmm might need to change my code a bit then. Maybe event:effect?

i have this for the connections

    console.log(data);
    serverio.emit('event', { data });
});

socket.on('event:test', (data) => {
    console.log(data);
    serverio.emit('test', { data });
     //Structure as on https://github.com/StreamElements/widgets/blob/master/CustomCode.md#on-event
});```

I'll do 1 cookie for now then the other when I figure it out 😆

[elfin arch]

looks like it's being sent through socket.on('event:update', (data) => {

[steady cave]

Let me give that a try, hopefully this works

[steady cave]

cool that worked. What other things can i add instead of :test and :update?

[hot trout]

if you think you should be getting something through the websocket (which is not the same as a webhook btw) you can enable debugging in socket.io

and it'll print everything that happens to the console log

[elfin arch]

looks like :reset too; not sure the differences there: https://dev.streamelements.com/docs/kappa/ZG9jOjYxMzcxNTY-connecting-via-websocket-using-o-auth2 (ignore the oAuth part, should work same with JWT)

from @hot trout : https://socket.io/docs/v3/logging-and-debugging/

[hot trout]

ya

[steady cave]

lol ill give that a try too. need to learn what those functions can be used for too

[elfin arch]

I still think the 'effect' should come through the normal event though ... it is missing some info like cost amount

[dreamy wasp]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to take the “Level Up Widget” and make it based of subs instead of donations?

[broken coyote]

It is

[tight inlet]

Hey. How do i create a one click widget share

For my users

[severe shell]

If you want to share your widget publicly, you can do it here and the widget will have a link to share if approved:
https://strms.net/codeshare
But if you only want to have the ability to share the widget, maybe you can follow this link: https://strms.net/shareoverlay_request
Both of them have internal analysis from staff, so it is not something granted.

[tight inlet]

@severe shell thanks mate. JUst to be sure, how do i share the widget if i do the second application?

[shadow turtle]

when making a custom chat command, how do i add spaces between lines/sections of the command? In the editor it looks how i want it but when testing the commands there are no spaces in between each line of text, it all runs together looking like one big paragraph. is there a fix for this I'm unaware of?

[severe shell]

You will probably receive the instruction once and if you are approved for the sharing request.

[tight inlet]

Yeah i just want to get an idea before i apply so i'm not applying for something i don't need 😄

[severe shell]

I don't know which platform you are referring to, but if it is Twitch, the platform does not allow line breaks on messages, all messages need to be in a single line. What people usually do is adding few symbols (i.e.: ========= ) to simulate the next text to appears on the next line. But this will not work on all devices as they have different chat sizes

[shadow turtle]

thanks for clarifying!

[hot trout]

ah I was wondering how that worked

I assume they look to see that there's no malicious or external (other than well known libraries) code being loaded

I noticed places like nerdordie have streamelements "installers" but they seemed to just load a url

I was looking into how to do that myself as copying and pasting code into a web editor is not my idea of a fun time

[bronze sail]

Hi all! I have MrBoosts goal overlay and I changed the font and the line spacing between the goal and bar is too close and I want to move the bar down a bit.

[hidden crown]

Hi guys can i speak with the developer/programer?

we streamers have problem with paypla. if people want to donate money they have one option with paypla to paypla. there is no option to donatee money from credit card to paypal. but sometimes they can becouse credit card buton apears. and after one our disapearts.. strange. people areloosing money. becouse some people dont want to create paypal acount. they want donate fast with a credit card to paypal. like streamlabs. i you press donation butoon you have an option paypal to paypal. or credit card to paypal. can developer look at this ? PLEASE ❤️

at this moment its working . but sometimes the buton disapears...

im speaking with a lot of streamers in my country they have the same problem.

its gone right now

:))))

[proud spade]

That's a paypal URL, I don't think there's anything StreamElements can do to edit/update that.

[hidden crown]

i fount onther donation alers web site. and look im choosing paypal and then

at the top there is money

226 euros

why then i try to donate from streamelements donate buton with credit card sometimes apears sometims doest. and if im using donationalerts web site. trying to donate pay with credit card buton is. and at the top money shows 226 euros?

this is something bad with url ?

please develepers help us. becouse a lot of my friends dont want to use streamelements. becouse they are losing donetion money. becouse people dont want to create paypal acount .. the want fast donate money from credint card to paypla

[hot trout]

this channel is for developers, not "ask the developers"

[left rampart]

I'd appreciate some advice. I've built some free streamer tools that integrate with SE via JWT tokens or Jebaited. Now that it's available, I'd like to transition to direct oAuth, but I'm also starting work on v2. Should I submit what I have now? Mostly want to avoid applications closing again before v2 is ready. Of course, v1 could also benefit from it.

[gray wind]

Help! I went to edit my overlay to change an alert sound, all was fine, copied the modified alert box to my other scenes, but now suddenly they all load in and then several things jump to the wrong place, like move up half the screen. It's like a fraction of a second after they load.
It's even the gallery overlays that a copied into mine, not just custom ones. It's everything I click on...

[drifting steppe]

why does tts start after the alert box vanishes?
i want it to start when the text shows with the alert box

[ancient gate]

any ideas as to why the streamdeck kappagen buttons arent working for me?

[dreamy wasp]

Do you know if that is something that exists or will need to be contracted for development?

[tight egret]

Someone who knows if there is a coinpusher game that can integrate with streamelements to get points when you win coins or anything similar ?

I kinda miss the old channel name... less confusion over what to put here.

[drifting relic]

Hey, I'm a software engineer by day that's part of a twitch stream and somebody's asked me to write an api that does something with stream elements around the concept of Loyalty points. I'm reading the api docs and considering what direction to go with what language/framework/hosting to use and I'm just wondering how much of this is a solved problem before I go write some stuff. I'm a little unclear on what the concept of loyalty points is as I couldn't find a great explanation in the api docs and from what I can gather I'm essentially going to write some software that does some communicating with StreamElement's api in some sort of way with the https://api.streamelements.com/kappa/v2/loyalty/{channel} endpoint. Any pitfalls I should avoid that you all have learned from. Any gotchas I'm not aware of. Is streamelements' api aware in any way of twich user ids or is it more of an interface for just the channel's twitch instance? I'm missing a lot of information here and running and gunning in my free time so please forgive my overall ignorance. I'm only part of my stream because I'm funny and I happen to code for a living so I got handed this task but I've not ever streamed myself or in all honestly never really used twitch and obviously streamelements.

Languages/platforms: I'm considering python (aiohttp is my jam), ruby on rails (oooh rails 7 and heroku could be fun...). and I guess maybe express.js. The auth example was in GO which I've never dabbled in other than helping a colleague write some unit tests so maybe I could use this as an excuse to learn it.

[elfin arch]

Can you explain more about what you are trying to create? Are you just trying to create some open REST endpoints for your API or something more complex, like a custom leaderboard? Loyalty points are basically points you can use on SE to redeem items from the streamer's "store"... could be an alert or sound affect, enter raffles, use certain commands, use media request, etc.

[drifting relic]

Yeah, I’m trying to figure out what I’m creating too 🥴. I’ve gotten a bit more clarity since I posted this earlier and it seems I need to just wire up a way for viewers to spend loyalty points for some custom items in our loyalty store by clicking on a button in an iframe on our channel. Sounds like I need to figure out how and what is already persisted about a viewers loyalty points from the api docs and then fill in any gaps on my end regarding the transaction if it isn’t all handled by the stream elements api already and then I’ll need to have a pubsub or other kind of listener that alerts us that somebody has “done the thing” in the chat like in your examples.

[drifting relic]

Hmm, so is there an existing way of alerting when there's been a purchase made from our store?

[hot trout]

<@&364840891023622144> nitro scam link above

[left rampart]

From a StreamElements merch store, yes!
From your own separate store, no, but it is possible to interrupt the queue of alerts so that your own merch alert can play.

[elfin arch]

When you say an iframe on your channel, are you talking about doing a Twitch extension? It sounds like you will want to do a POST call from the UI to your sever/API, that should send the Twitch userID & name; but I believe all of the loyalty is tracked by just username (so name changes on Twitch cause issues). When you get that in your server you would need to get a call to check current points and compare to cost; then do what ever you need and send that info to an overlay(?) if that is the end result

[median basin]

im trying to display a counter that counts 250 per sub, 50 per follow and 1 per bit. adds them all together and displays it was wondering if someone can help me

as an overlay

[valid swift]

Hi all... I'm trying to find documentation on an IF/OR type bot variable I thought I saw but can't find now. Something along the lines of if there is a ${1} use that otherwise use something else. Can anyone tell me if I'm dreaming this up? I would love a link to any documentation about bot logic commands not just replaceable variables. Thanks!

Or should I just assume that the best way to add logic is through custom APIs?

[terse crest]

probably yes

[severe shell]

There is no comparison that can be used on the commands, not possible to do if/else on them, either. The best way would through custom API, as you said.

[severe shell]

Maybe there is something for you on #widget-share, check if the one called One bar to rule them all (or something like that) works for you. There are other counters that maybe work the way you want. But you would need to test them.

[median basin]

i fell asleep

[valid swift]

Fair.... I guess it's time to dust off those PHP skills I haven't used in ages.

[drifting relic]

@valid swift is php what people are using for custom APIs?

[dusty marsh]

i'm trying to change the cheer sounds for variations but it keeps playing the standard and the new sound, does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

[severe shell]

Sometimes it’s just a matter of saving the overlay and restarting the cache in OBS. If it is playing twice, it is probably because you have the OBS and the overlay webpage opened.

[dusty marsh]

it's not that it's playing twice it's playing 2 different sounds at the same time and i can't get the other sound to stop playing

[severe shell]

Hmm, maybe you have two overlays on your OBS that have cheer alert enabled.

[dusty marsh]

i just tried muting obs and it's still there, it feels really weird too because i can't see any other audio options in the settings

[severe shell]

Do you have a video playing with sound and another audio file on the same variation? If so, you can set the volume of each individually. Check if this is the issue.

[dusty marsh]

yes that worked thank you!!

[spark lava]

Is it possible to have a command pull from a user's watchtime and convert that into a percentage from 1% to 100% with the goal percentage able to be edited.

100% to be 100 hours.

Example ↓
!command
StreamElements: HGERBO is at 7% of 100%

[valid swift]

I don't know, but it's the server side language I have the most experience in.

[hot trout]

@spark lava to the best of my knowledge the only way to do that is to use a custom API which means programming a web service for it that talks to the streamelements api to pull the data

the streamelements bot does not have any way of running code in commands

[spark lava]

Okay

thank you

[elfin arch]

I use Node JS. I have an repl.it example for a basic, free, API setup. Feel free to fork if you need a starting point + @spark lava https://repl.it/@pjonp/seapitest#index.js

[valid swift]

Oh that makes sense... It would be nice to work in js. I will probably fork that. I got what I needed in PHP but I am always looking to expand.

[drifting relic]

Thanks, I deployed an aiohttp python api to heroku today that I plan on building out for this but I’m familiar with Node JS as well so I can see how your making Api calls to stream elements and then use python to accomplish the same thing. Should be fun!

[hot trout]

I run most of my bot APIs on cloudflare workers

(also javascript)

[drifting relic]

Oooh tell me more!

[elfin arch]

I don't have any SE API calls in there; but there is an example of a Twitch API call to get online stream team members

[hot trout]

uh well CF workers let you run javascript code on cloudflare's servers all over the world so you don't have to run them yourself

there are some restrictions mostly to things like CPU time and such esp on the free tier but I've not run into issues with that myself

there's also google cloud functions and amazon lambda that serve a similar purpose

but they're more general-use and a bit slower in general unless your function sees a lot of use

[valid swift]

are you doing anything with DB on the backend?

[hot trout]

mostly I process json data from somewhere else into a response

[valid swift]

Perfect application then...

[hot trout]

I have one on google cloud functions that queries a google sheet

that one's in python though

[valid swift]

I will look into that as well. Thanks for sharing.

[drifting relic]

Does anybody know of any example code with api calls to stream elements regarding loyalty?

[elfin arch]

I got one that pulls the top 3 users, i think, somewhere

[drifting relic]

Sweet, if you can dig it up that’d be sweet. Even if it’s a snippet

[elfin arch]

https://github.com/pjonp/pjTestBot/blob/master/util/StreamElementsAPI.js

first one is get points from user name; second is put points to username (+/-); third is bulk and add/removes points to usernames from Array; then get a list of top point users

should get you (hopefully) in the right direction, it's old code I did

[elfin arch]

these CF Workers seem pretty interesting. and maybe even simpler to setup? doesn't look like it requires an Express server and defining the routes. Thanks!

[hot trout]

yeah it does (afaik) require that you have a domain you can dedicate to it though

unless you use the workers.dev domain they give you but that has some downsides wrt caching if you were to want to use that

[elfin arch]

ooohh

[valid swift]

It is definitely worth a look.. and optimized for the kind of data transformation and delivery that bot APIs require.

[hot trout]

I once spent like a whole hour trying to figure out why my caching wasn't working and it turned out that the workers.dev subdomain disables it

it all worked fine with my real domain

[elfin arch]

it should be alright then for most things... i'm not sure really how to use caching 🤣

[hot trout]

well it's cloudflare, caching is kinda what they do

the original intent is for workers to mostly sit between your client and an origin server, though there is no requirement for an origin server to be contacted so it's perfectly possible for the worker to generate and serve a response autonomously

in any case I've been a lot happier with it than google cloud functions cause it's a lot faster to start up

[elfin arch]

only thing I see that might be an issue would be 'secrets' for JWT or Twitch oAuth tokens

[hot trout]

your code is never made public so you should be able to put those in without issue

oh they have something for secrets too

is there a way that I can post links without my existence being deleted by the bot

[elfin arch]

um.... depends on the domain. github and codepen should be whitelisted

[hot trout]

it's cloudflare.com

[elfin arch]

hahah. looks like that might be alright too

[hot trout]

lul ok we'll see

poop

[elfin arch]

haha

i'll grab it. 1 sec

[hot trout]

well at least I didn't get muted this time like when I dared link to the socket.io docs

[elfin arch]

Wrangler is the CLI?

[hot trout]

yeah

This is really cool... and sort of mindblowing. I have not been keeping up.

Is there any reason SE doesn't store gifted sub information in recents?

[ancient forum]

I'm not entirely sure where to post this so here goes ....
I'm fairly new here, i am trying to create a custom alert for my stream using the EDITOR for the stream elements overlay, if any one here has tried using the custom CODE EDITOR and is familiar with the editor, can anyone tell what is the TAG or DEFAULT NAME for the image or clip place holder with the HTML or CSS CODE editor.
these TAGs (not sure if that's the right term for them) are usually enclosed in braces "{" and "}" or "{{" and "}}"
I am a bit familiar with java script, so I know what they are, just need to know the variable name so I can just call the image I uploaded with it, into my CSS or HTML code.

[terse crest]

It's your custom variables that you can specify in FIELDS tab and then use as {variable}. There's api docs https://github.com/StreamElements/widgets/blob/master/CustomCode.md#json

[hot trout]

{image} and {video} for images and videos respectively

they're actually on that page but under the alert widget heading: https://github.com/StreamElements/widgets/blob/master/CustomCode.md#alert-widget

[ancient forum]

thanks that helped a lot, 👍 I just don't want to go to the trouble of creating a new custom field just for an image. when there is already a default variable name.

[hot trout]

as well you shouldn't

[pulsar willow]

hello, not sure this is the correct channel, i am trying to get a command working where i need it to pick a random viewer/chatter but when i use the ${random.chatter} is not working, it keeps returning stream elements. Can someone give me an alternative or tell me what i am doing wrong. Thank you

[hot trout]

are you doing this while offline and no one has chatted?

[pulsar willow]

i have it open to run both offline and online

[hot trout]

has anyone else talked in the last few minutes

oh it's done by two people

[pulsar willow]

it keeps selecting streamelements for some reason

[azure jolt]

Is there a way to mass change css/html/js for all variations?

[hardy walrus]

No.

[azure jolt]

😭

[hot trout]

yes actually but it involves downloading it from the API, modifying that json and then re-uploading it

[azure jolt]

huh, that might be doable

[hot trout]

which may be more work than just doing it in the editor unless you're intending to make a habit out of it

[azure jolt]

I've had to do it by hand 5 times now

[hot trout]

yeah I know the pain

[azure jolt]

Do you know the call to download the json for that alert?

[hot trout]

uh lemme see if I have it in my history still

I can't find it but it's in the streamlabs apu docs (see above --^), you can GET the overlay endpoint specifying the overlay id

that endpoint accepts PUT as well despite it not being mentioned

ah I found it

[azure jolt]

ty ❤️

[hot trout]

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer token_goes_here' https://api.streamelements.com/kappa/v2/overlays/channel_id_here/overlay_id_here > overlays.json

[azure jolt]

ooh!

Thanks!

[hot trout]

and then the upload would be curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H 'Authorization: Bearer token_goes_here' https://api.streamelements.com/kappa/v2/overlays/channel_id_here/overlay_id_here -d '@overlays.json'

obviously I suggest you test your methods on a new overlay

[azure jolt]

I will duplicate first ;D

[thorny hazel]

@elfin arch Im utilizing the prizewheel but when it announces the result in chat it announces 2 different results, any idea why?

@elfin arch It actually shows the LAST result and the correct current result

[elfin arch]

Make sure you only have 1 instance of the wheel open.

If you have it on 2 different scenes and both are active or open in OBS and the website editor, it will do 2 events

[thorny hazel]

I was just about to delete my comment lol. I reset my token turned chat notifs off and on again and it completely fixed it. thank you for making such an awesome widget!

[thorny hazel]

Is there a line in the code to edit to have the result announced multiple times?

[elfin arch]

Negative. It only calls the result once, after the "stream delay" setting

You could sneak a second one in there after if you wanted to though

[hot trout]

any chance woff(2) and/or ttf could be added to the list of permitted file uploads?

[verbal yarrow]

I didnt know were to put this but on se sponsorships for the raid of legends one do I have to complete all 3 bonuses to get payout or just the base?

[latent harness]

How can i use the customapi on streamelemens commands to only send a specific part of an api I want it to show only this part from an api

instead of showing the full api response i want it to show only the number of the elo

[hot trout]

you can't, you'd need to make your own api that calls that api and extracts the number

if you use nightbot though, that can do it

[latent harness]

oof

yeah i got it working with nightbot with no issues

[hot trout]

streamelements unfortunately has no eval which is how nightbot lets you do that

[latent harness]

yeah

[hot trout]

I'm pretty sure nightbot is the only cloud bot that has eval though

[hardy walrus]

Their thing in question doesn't necessarily need eval but json parsing most likely.

Even then you're still correct as we don't support that either (yet).

[latent harness]

It would be great if eval or something similar was on SE because i have never made an api

[hardy walrus]

It has been a while since I brought it up to those with the who could do stuff about it but understandably security concerns were the immediate issue with it.

[hot trout]

yeah for your use you only need json parsing and a way to extract fields, it's just that nightbot gives you that through eval

[hardy walrus]

I can try bringing it up again but not sure if there'll be any difference of consideration this time.

[still crow]

@terse crest if you meant move over here because you're about to tell me how to program it myself I have no idea how to do that sort of thing 👀

[terse crest]

It's just that this is a more appropriate place 🙂

[still crow]

ah

[terse crest]

left is "stock" events list, right is modified

[flint furnace]

is this also a better place to ask for how to get a sound event in when someone chat for the first time of the day?

[still crow]

teach me your ways

[flint furnace]

can I join this looks pretty

[terse crest]

Your widget on the sent video is also "stock", just with style settings, right? Because seems like it's working fine if direction set to Bottom, and looks like on your video events are coming from the bottom, so I'm not sure why is it so junky

[still crow]

so you're saying the stock default should be as smooth as your modified version?

[terse crest]

it is

if Direction = Bottom

[still crow]

yeah

how did you make yours look that way?

there's no options to make it look like that

the default customisability is very minimal

[terse crest]

like that? modified the code a bit

[young shard]

is that necessary when you could just have a text field for font specification?

[hot trout]

this lets me use a custom ttf font how?

[still crow]

how do you do that

[terse crest]

I can +1 for that, even though I haven't needed it yet

[young shard]

if it's installed on your computer, you just need a text field, and put the value of that into css font-family

like font-family: "{customFont}" Arial sans-serif;

[hot trout]

yes, but that violates the idea that the whole overlay is in the cloud

[terse crest]

I mean it's pretty easy if you know html/js/css

[hot trout]

most importantly though, I'm using the "black oblique" version of a font and I can't seem to reliably select that using css

[young shard]

for that you'd also need to set the font-weight and font-style

[hot trout]

font-weight: 900 (the max) does it in some browsers but not in the browser source

[still crow]

I have an incredibly basic understanding of all of them. like, I did one unit on them in year 10 digital tech before dropping the subject

[hot trout]

so my workaround now was to grab the ttf file of the specific version I want and @font-face that into my css

[young shard]

that's fair
in that case the only reliable method would be to have it uploaded on some other website and use that link for the src

[hot trout]

well tbh I just renamed it .gif

and used that

ahem

[young shard]

lmao does that work? nice

[hot trout]

yeah the server doesn't check that it's a real gif and the browser doesn't care about the name

Hi everyone, I wanted to raise a Feature request for "Credit Roll - by Grot".
At the StreamElements Community Board they told me should try here.

The credit roll at the end of the stream sadly does not show the mods that were active during the stream. Other services do this. I really want to thank my mods in this way. Is there any way to implement this in the credit roll?

[valid swift]

Does anyone know if SE is planning to support setting commands with other commands? For example I would love to have a !setcrew command that maps to "!cmd edit crew MAL is playing with ${1:}" Doing "!setcrew Foo and Barr" does correctly output "!cmd edit crew MAL is playing with Foo and Bar" but it doesn't get evaluated so the !crew command is not updated.

[pulsar willow]

idk if i'm suppose to put it here

i would like to have that kinda of chatbox

can someone help me with that?

[severe shell]

Not planned, you would need to create a custom API for that, so your command would be able to update another command.
If you have knowledge in JS, you could use the endpoint on this link to have your command call it. https://dev.streamelements.com/docs/kappa/b3A6NTM5NzEwNA-channel-command-id

On the endpoint you would configure it to update the !crew using its id

[valid swift]

Ok ... I suspected that I might need a custom API. I was thinking about doing something like @mild cipher's awesome multi (#command-share message) but this would be excellent as the target command will be native and not rely on an API call.

[severe shell]

I didn't know about this multi from him, wow... I'm always discovering something new from him, it's incredible hahah
Well, I created a custom API just to have more advanced commands and one of them is almost what you want. It has a !setduo to update the command !duo (which is consulted using external Google Sheets). For your case it seems simpler than that as it won't need an external "database". If you want I can paste the code here and you can adjust for your needs, let me know.

should work.

Does StreamElements even support Media Share / Media Request

[proud spade]

Can you link me the guide you were using?

[dense cypress]

Sure thing

Am I allowed to post links in here?

https://blog.streamelements.com/media-share-complete-guide-273f4cbc600d

[proud spade]

Give me a bit and I'll have an answer

[proud spade]

.
Enable media requests here and set them to autoplay: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/mediarequest/general
Edit the settings to your liking, probably enable autoplay: https://streamelements.com/dashboard/mediarequest/settings
Create an overlay, Add Widget -> Engagement -> Media Request
Add overlay to OBS
Use !sr to request a video in your stream
Go back to https://streamelements.com/dashboard/mediarequest/general and make sure it says "Showing on stream" on the right side, not "show on stream"

[dense cypress]

Well... hate to break it to you, but... this don't work for me.

trying to modify the html of a widget, is it possible to add a "minimum amount" tag to this?

[nova rock]

Your Authorization header should start with Bearer, not apikey

Is there any documentation on how to create settings like SE has for their hypeboss? Dropdown has a description for each mode and then theres both a number and checkbox for the follow damage. Are we able to do similar things or is it special for hypeboss?

Is it possible to parse a JSON response from an api within the context of a custom command?

[ripe dew]

I want to add a fade in and fade out to custom alert box, right now it is only animating the 'name' and 'amount', any way of doing this?

[terse crest]

Your can just change animation settings

[ripe dew]

Thank you 😅 for some reason i thought it wouldn't work

[hot trout]

@solid beacon no, you need to either use a different bot (nightbot can do it) or create an external api service to do the query and format the response

[solid beacon]

That's what I thought, thank you. Just spent the past hour doing the latter and got it working.

[trail sandal]

Hello, I was looking at the different !so options is there a way in amazing shoutout or a standard shiutout command to have it play a clip from the person being shouted out twitch channel? I want it to play in the corner of my stream after the shoutout is made, and possibly add a sound effect with it.

[solid beacon]

Is there a way to add number formatting to say the ${channel.followers} variable and the likes? I'd like to add commas to the output of these variables for cleaner-looking numbers in a command response.

so instead of 1463 it'd show up as 1,463.

[proud spade]

Regional settings would be nice too, so you could have 1,463 or 1.463.

[valid swift]

Twitch Guru has a shout out that pulls clips from their channel. I can't link to it but you should be able to google it.

I'm not aware of a SE widget that does it, but someone may have it.

[valid swift]

Agreed, but it's not available now (as far as I know) but it would make a great suggestion.

[trail sandal]

I have that one now, thanks just wanted to see if I could keep it all streamlined through you guys.

[valid swift]

Gotcha, yeah it is a separate browser source for me... but since I am newish to SE I still have a lot of in OBS sources and only use the SE overlays for data elements and alerts.

[trail sandal]

Also want to say keep up the good work. Just switched to SE and it is so much cleaner and nicely laid out. Loving it so far compared to my old bot program.

[clever stream]

hey all! Is there a way to add end credits to the end of a youtube livestream?

[tame sparrow]

If your data is in a component, you can use a script to get that data and replace it .
I would have the element hidden and when the text changes, have a look that checks it and sets the text of the duplicate element that's not hidden.

Or check the widget script and modify the updated currency before it's applied.

[terse crest]

what widget are you using?

[tame quarry]

Had this in the help desk-twitch channel but realize it’s probably more for this channel. So will ask it again, sorry for the double post. Quick question, I was hoping to set up a custom command for !dadjoke I know there are some out there that will auto do it, but if I wanted to make my own database of jokes and have it pull randomly from that list, would I have to make my own custom database and API call to that database? I know a little about doing that but wasn’t sure if I was making a bigger problem for myself going that way if there was an easier solution.

[valid swift]

There are a few existing services that can do that for you.

Just a moment And I can make a recommendation.

Twitch center has a great one...

I'm not sure I can post it here. May I pm it to you @tame quarry

Hi guys, I am trying to customize a template chatbox overlay. I am having trouble with custom font, because the field ("enable custom fonts") is just not available within my template. Is there a way to add this field to the code? Thank you for your help

[solid beacon]

Script? Component? What jargon is all of this? I simply asked about the variables in custom commands exposed in the dashboard of StreamElements for the StreamElements Bot itself.

I asked about that in #helpdesk-twitch and someone pointed me to this channel.

Is there a varaible available to apply formatting to ${channel.followers} or ${channel.subs} for use in the text output of custom commands, so instead of something like 12345 being reported, I can have an easier to read 12,345 reported instead.

That said, is it possible to perform scripting inside of Custom Commands?

[elfin arch]

Updated Level-up Goal - by Annedorko Widget : https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays/share/61c3e7b61c95fbbd4fb7c65d
Main changes are:
option to pick the goal (tips,subs,cheers or combined). If combined then there is a multiplier to convert it a "tip". I.E. 1 sub = $2.5.
-Set one of them to 0 to disable (i.e. you only want tips + subs)
Prefix input now; set currency $ or remove it for subs/cheers
Decimal formatting; either so $10.50 for tips or round to whole number (again for subs/cheers)
Main change to the Amounts: each level has it's own amount; once goal 1 is reached, it rolls into goal 2, etc. They are additive so if goal 1 is $10 and goal 2 is $25; then a tip of $20 will fill goal 1, then rollover $10 into goal 2; leaving the bar at $10/$25 for goal 2.

[elfin arch]

very limited; but I hacked together a small API for small things like you got. For more advanced stuff you will want to make your own API to do the coding and return a text for what you want.

${customapi https://seapitest.pjonp.repl.co/api/eval?string=$(queryencode "
let number = parseInt('${channel.followers}').toLocaleString();
number;
")}```

and you could format the full string response if you wanted; ```js
${customapi https://seapitest.pjonp.repl.co/api/eval?string=$(queryencode "
let number = parseInt('${channel.followers}').toLocaleString();
There are ${number} followers!;
")}

[atomic sorrel]

Hey, I have no clue where I should be asking this and have never worked with streamelements and most programming languages but was wondering if it would be possible to have a nested variable. So instead of having a !d20 command and a !d6 command, if just a !d command would work using whatever argument the user inputs. I tried ${random.1-${1}} but it seems to just be using the default ${random} command.
Additionally I was thinking about having a death count command per current game that is being played. Something that I would imagine would look like ${count ${game}} which doesn't seem to work either.
I'm assuming nested variables just don't work but I figured I might as well ask before giving up

[manic thicket]

Is it possible to have a widget that can integrate Throne Gifts? From their official documentation page, they say to setup as a browser source, but I think it would be a whole lot better if I could just add as a widget for my overlays from StreamElementts Dashboard.

[hardy walrus]

Possible? Yes.
Easy? Probably not unless they have hella good information with an API.

[manic thicket]

I do believe they have API source somewhere, as they can integrate with other platforms.

[proper cedar]

I don't know where to ask this otherwise, but I'm having some difficulty with google. I'm trying to ensure that my alert text stays within the confines of the alert image. I know that I can do this with CSS, I just have no idea how to do it within CSS. Am I in the right channel? If not, could you point me where to ask? If so, anyone mind helping me trudge through it?

[hot trout]

@proper cedar that's actually not easy to do, the easiest would probably be to define the exact width your text can be (i.e. the width of the background image) and set text-overflow in css which will let you cut off text that's too long with '…'

ah heck

google 'css text-overflow' and pick the developer.mozilla.org link

can the bot be a bit more forgiving in this channel? it's absolutely impossible to support developers without links

[hardy walrus]

@hot trout it got whitelisted by the bot afterwards. No problem from now on.

All links usually get deleted once and then either approved or denied for later use.

[hot trout]

the specific link or all developer.mozilla.org?

[hardy walrus]

Dev link.

hey all! Does the data object that is read on 'onWidgetLoad' event, expire with time.

(data object means the obj param)

To explain with an example, If I stream on YT for 2 hours and load a widget in the end to read the recent subscribers within the 2 hr stream, can I get all the new subscribers within the past 2 hours from that data object?

hello i have been googling and trying main ways to do this and im wondering is this in place. So i have made a command on streamelements to give channel points when i go live. but there is no Command Variables for it for example i want to give a certain amount to a viewer and in the twitch chat it show how much i have given to them but its not showing the amount I'm giving.
here is the command i have been trying to do < ${user} has been given ${points} fossils! > but the points are not showing the amount i am giving to that viewer. can someone please help me, really driving me nuts. also i know its on the loyalty area to give points but mine is usually off and i want a quicker and efficient way of doing it quicker when im live streaming.

[clever stream]

hey all! Is there a way to dock the css/js editor in the overlay editor, so that I can edit and see the results without closing it?

[hot trout]

nope

you're likely better off developing locally and then copypasting in the result

you may find use in this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/259680142459142144/633144423055622164/SETest.zip

depending on what you're editing

[frosty lion]

Wondering if this was answered? Can't find it using search. I'm modding for a few streamers who are moving from StreamLabs to StreamElements. It would be great if my chatbot (including loyalty features) would still be usable for them.
I sent in the form, but receive an Asana link which doesn't give me access to view the status of the request.

[still juniper]

Hi there! first of all, Merry Christmas! 😄
quick question: is there a way (through the API or other programatically way) to show an alert to the stream, with custom text/data? I've never worked with the Streamelements API (or Streamelements in general) and quick searching the docs I didn't see anything

[hot trout]

The editor?

[still juniper]

Sorry if I'm asking something obvious, as I said I'm not familiarized with StreamElements (but considering alternatives to my current StreamLabs setup). Not sure if I can interact with the editor via code, the API docs didn't really help me figuring out if what I want is even possible.

For clarification, my end goal is to trigger an alert based on a custom action in the stream (handled on my side), but I want that alert to be queued/managed by the common alerts system (StreamElements in this case), so alerts use the system TTS or don't overlap, for example. With StreamLabs that's possible through an API call, so wondering if StreamElements supports it somehow

Any links to even basic docs are appreciated in case I'm missing key features of SE 🙂

[quick bluff]

hi
is there a quick method for resetting goals status?
for example via HTTP request

[valid swift]

https://dev.streamelements.com/docs/kappa/b3A6NTM5NzE4Nw-channel is the documentation for setting session data through the API.

[quick bluff]

thanks

unfortunately i am inexperienced in API. can you make sure that sending the URL reset the total number of goals?

[valid swift]

I'm afraid it would be more complicated than that. If you are not able to use the API probably the easiest is have the session data widget open either from the dashboard (https://streamelements.com/dashboard/session) or the Edit Widget Data in OBS.Live.

[tepid basin]

Can someone help me alter my nightbot command so I can get it work on streamelements?

I can't just transfer it, seeing as nightbot argument thingies are different than se's bot

[main escarp]

Hi team! I know, it's not very likely anyone will reply on Christmas day, but I'll just leave my question for whenever anyone's available. Merry Christmas!!

I'm still figuring out the ropes around StreamElements (liking it a lot so far). I was wondering if there's a way to copy a specific image asset from an overlay to a different one. In this case, I have duplicated an overlay from a theme I'm using, but I'd like to use the same chat background on the new overlay I've created based on this theme (one has the cam boarders, the other has the chat and I wanted both). Much appreciated! .

[severe shell]

Send your command and we can check how it can be modified. However, if the command is using eval, it will not possible to make it work on SE, as it does not support eval.

[hardy walrus]

@main escarpyou can duplicate the widget itself.

Click the widget in the layer list then the 2 boxes on top of another.

[tepid basin]

Ah that may be why then, it uses eval

[hardy walrus]

Better explanation in a gif https://streamelements.is-serious.business/A28w6MF.gif

[main escarp]

I was messing with this and as soon as I wrote this down and went back into the website, I figured it out. Omg, I'm so ashamed!... Sorry, and thanks!!

Thanks @hardy walrus !!!

[severe shell]

What I used to do was to keep both SE and Nightbot bots on the channel and disable everything on Nightbot, except those eval commands, so they would not have conflict with moderation.

[tepid basin]

Yea I've been doing that with Dead by daylight perks being all on nightbot and not SE, I keep my major commands on SE just wanted to see if I could move this new command over but no dice

Thank you!

[still juniper]

I've taken a glance at the editor and haven't seen any option/setting/link regarding hooking into the AlertBox to programatically trigger an alert

I'd appreciate at least just to know if this is something that StreamElements has support for

[slate drum]

Hi, I'm writing a custom command using customapi and I wanted to know if it were possible to parse the plain text output in the response field?

[dapper surge]

Hey can anyone here help me with the marathon timer on streamelements? Just need a little help with the JS to set a max bit limit

Should only take a few minutes

[severe shell]

The customapi command will give the response exactly as if you opened the source code for the link on a browser (with HTML tags and everything). It is not able to handle the result to get only part of the response.

[severe shell]

The API docs are here:
https://dev.streamelements.com/docs/kappa

If you need to work directly on overlay editor, you can create a custom widget and click on + button > Static/Custom > Custom widget.
On the left panel, you click on Settings > Open Editor and you will have the HTML, CSS, JS, Custom fields to work. And you can use this link to understand how it works:
https://github.com/StreamElements/widgets/blob/master/CustomCode.md

Maybe the resumeQueue can help you with that, not sure

[slate drum]

So no splitting or anything of the like?

[severe shell]

Nope. The result will be the exact output. For example, the command
${customapi.https://decapi.me/misc/currency?value=25&from=USD&to=NOK} will respond 25 USD = 221.43 NOK. You can add something before and after, but cannot insert or remove anything inside the response

[still juniper]

After spending some time with the documentation I still feel I'm missing some features that are available in the API. For example, I accidentally found out that https://api.streamelements.com/kappa/v2/speech is a valid endpoint for TTS, but I don't see any reference to it in the API docs

[ancient forum]

is there a way to get the chat image profile or icon, which appears on the left side of the chat screen on FACEBOOK, I'm trying to customize the "Boxed chat by Cocahh" for facebook. I tried to look into JS code using the code editor inside Stream elements. I can't seem to find anything that would give me an idea on how to go about it.

[hardy walrus]

@dense moat this might help #widget-share message

[terse crest]

It is possible, but not that easy as it is in SL. You'll probably need to have custom API and definitely need custom alert widget, because SE is a cloud-based solution that doesn't have such kind of functionality "from the box"

[elfin arch]

I wanna add onto that @still juniper. You will need a custom widget/overlay for sure; and to get your custom action from stream, you would either to code that into the overlay or if you are running a local bot then set it up as a websocket server and connect the widget to it to send events. Your widget would trigger from that. To add your widget into the 'global' queue so it doesn't play at the same time as other alerts you want to use: https://github.com/StreamElements/widgets/blob/master/CustomCode.md#resumequeue-method-and-widgetduration-property

[still juniper]

Thank you both for your answers

@terse crest A custom API wouldn't be the problem, I already have that on my server for other stuff, but the thing here is to trigger the SE alerts somehow.

@elfin arch I spent sometime yesterday playing around, and what you say matches my reasoning (I already have a server running so no problems at all to make a ws connection and send some events). But the main problem here is that a don't want a custom alerts widget, I just want to hook into SE default one. I want to have a central system managing all the alerts (so the streamer has a single configuration to go through, among others), and recreating a complete alert box from scratch is out of the scope. What I tried yesterday was to use a custom widget as a "proxy" widget. Such widget sent a CustomEvent of type 'subscriber-latest' (for example). However, the default alertbox widget didn't seem to listen/react to those events, not sure if this is expected or I just didn't set things properly (prob the first one)

[terse crest]

@still juniper I'm afraid you'll need to recreate all of your alerts in a custom widget after all, if you want all of them to be in one place. You can't modify default alert box

[elfin arch]

...well all of the normal alert box could stay the same.

the second part; for your custom hook might need to be a custom widget. with the last sentence you had; it is the former. Each widget is sandboxed so you can't trigger an alert from one "window" to another

there is some code magic you can do between 2 custom widgets to get them to talk; but the default alert box is heavily neutered when getting into custom code. ... all the code you can input is a few chain downs the 'if/or' flow; so it has to be a 'tip' and = to '$10' before the code runs

[still juniper]

Each widget is sandboxed so you can't trigger an alert from one "window" to another
Are they? I'd swear I had customwidget1 sent the event and customwidget2 would receive it, but maybe I'm wrong. That would explain some things anyway...

[elfin arch]

there is a way to do that; but not with the 'window.emit' as that will always just emit to it's own sandboxed window.

you might be able to (i've never tried this) but hide the alert you want for your custom alert in a tip that is like $99999 as a variation; then make an API call to POST that as a tip when it happens.

i think the alert boxes would pick up on that POST and then trigger the custom code you want inside of the alert box. .... that would save you having to set up the websocket stuff; but does create an awkward UI because it's hidden as a 'tip variation'

[still juniper]

That's definitely something I'll have to test, thanks for the idea! 😄

[elfin arch]

let me know if that works 🙂 ... also be sure to include the isTest = true in your calls... just so it doesn't mess with the main stream stats 🤣

....cause i'm not sure if that is counted in the 'real' tip information streamers get and don't want to have one with a f'ed up tax report and needing to clean it all out.

ideally; you could hide that in a cheer of '0.5' cause it's really hard to cheer 1/2 a bit 😉 (and again, never tested; so not sure if there is a sanity check for that)

[still juniper]

good advice there, I'd prob spend next Christmas in jail otherwise hahaha
I guess I'm tied to tips though, cause that's a the only thing I can POST through the API

[broken fable]

Hello all, dunno if iam on the right place. But somehow i can’t pay out the tip. Yes it is more then €5 so that it not the problem. Anyone knows the issues ?

[elfin arch]

hahah ya; or a bunch of pissed off streamers that have have like $1 million dollars in there 'tax' forms to file

[elfin arch]

That will be a paypal or whatever service you use for SE.Pay .... SE doesn't hold any of the money; they just connect accounts

[broken fable]

Oké , but when i tried to pay out it gives a error. And everything was working last time.

[elfin arch]

might be one of the services is down; check the convo here: #helpdesk-twitch message

[broken fable]

Oke thnx!

[pulsar willow]

Are there any streamelements for it eval or equivalent?

[mystic kraken]

I just tested with a tip amount of 0 rather than 0.5 and was able to get my variation alert to trigger. I guess "real" tip information would come from Twitch, but using a value of 0 wouldn't mess up any stats. I've been looking at ways of making more custom follower alert variations, without having to reinvent 99% of the wheel by using a custom widget, and doing it in a way that anyone could implement. This may be a way of doing it. Now, I just need to figure out how to send the alert message to SE from a bot.

[elfin arch]

you can try this: #dev-chat message

[still crow]

I left it for a bit, but I'm back on this again, you never actually explained how you modified it?

[terse crest]

Opened the code editor and wrote my own code here, idk what to explain 🙂 I also noticed that you're probably using default event list from Labels > Other and mine is Static/Custom > Custom widget, so you'll not be able to customize it via code

[still crow]

well I was at the time but I've since found the github with the template

so now it's in the html / css / js format

I just need to know what to write now

[terse crest]

So now you can create custom widget and drop your code into respective tabs on code editor

[kindred hemlock]

Hi, I'm desperately trying to display the number of subscribers on my custom widget but I can't.
I have read the documentation in the show description but I don't quite understand 😅

[empty rivet]

Hey - no matter what i do , my chatbot continues to TTS the action (ie. username has gifted x subs to viewers, they have gifted x subs in the channel). I have ticked off all the options to TTS the action, including in the variations..I even ticked it back on, saved, exited it, then unticked it again, saved and exited out...

any ideas?

[normal belfry]

was thinkin of making a widget that combines subs, bits and channel points

But would having a goal that mixes channel points, subs, and bits [but not asking for money] be against bits TOS?
just a percentage on the bar
or would that be giving monetary value to bits?

[terse crest]

Why do you think it'd be against the tos?

Made that widgets myself and there's a few in #widget-share, don't see any problems here

[normal belfry]

I'd assume against TOS because of its policy like this

[terse crest]

Still see nothing wrong

You're not selling anything for bits and not exchanging them, just counting. And actual monetary value of bits is publicly available, so it's easy to recalculate into your currency after all

Seems for me like you misunderstood the tos. Or am I

[normal belfry]

No I think you're right. I'm asking this cuz lookin through a bunch of msgs/posts in this server about this in the past, I've just been seeing mixed msgs everytime

[terse crest]

If you're not in top 10% (I bet you not) twitch doesn't give a single f about you, so I'd not worry

[still juniper]

for future reference, my two cents regarding tests:

• There is no isTest in the tips API call, doesn't seem to do anything (understandably tho - seems only applicable to events within overlays)
• Despite what's documented, the amount doesn't need to be an integer. Floating number with 2 decimals are supported (in fact you can send more decimals, but amount gets rounded later). So you can send $0.01, $0.02, etc
• Yes, $0 is also supported. But not only that, you can even send negative values like $-1!
• There exists the undocumented endpoint DELETE tips/:channel/:tipId, and calling it removes the tip from the revenue history (and thus from the tax info, although I think API tips don't even show up in that info based on my tests, but can't confirm 100% - better be safe than sorry). In fact, calling that endpoint also deletes the fake tip from the activity feed! That means it doesn't count towards totals and aggregates, although it still remains in session data. Pretty clean
• Tip has to be marked as imported: true for it to trigger the alert automatically (otherwise it's sent to tip moderation queue)

So it's a feasible alternative for my use case. Definitely not the most elegant solution, but saves time and headaches reinventing basic stuff. I'd love tho to have a dedicated API endpoint for this, to trigger custom alerts within the native alert box. I really think SE would highly benefit from that

Big thanks to @elfin arch for the idea and @mystic kraken for their insights!

I'm not sure where to ask this but I've been having trouble with stream elements website. Any time I try to go to my dashboard, immediately I'm taken to the splash/main page.

[slim zodiac]

Yeah, I was going to spend 50 dollars on their site this weekend but it was really buggy so I just found another way to donate money

It was requiring a youtube link, but not letting me select the time indexes I wanted to play. I would have rather just had the option not to include a youtube link if the time index thing isn't going to be functioning.

Or just have that as optional anyway.

Hi everyone, season greetings hope you all had a great holiday. I was just wondering if you could help me with the code line that needs to be added to labels (I.E Latest Sub or Top Cheerer) for their profile pic?

[terse crest]

Profile pictures are not publicly available through twitch API, so it's not possible without having custom API with twitch extension's credentials. Afaik

[severe shell]

You need to do a logout and login here: https://streamelements.com/logout

[peak reef]

Thank you! @severe shell

[paper canyon]

Aww dang, ok thank you

[severe shell]

You can use the decapi API for that, it will give you the link of the avatar: Do a GET request to https://decapi.me/twitch/avatar/:user (replace :user with the actual username)

In case you need more information: https://docs.decapi.me/twitch

[paper canyon]

Thank you really appreciate it

checking it out rn

[proven crane]

Have some trouble with the chatbox

Enter a username to ignore I type in the exact botname which appears in my chat and it still appears on the chatbox

[broken fable]

Stil nothing possible, hope you answer as soon as possible

Hey, does streamelements have any javascript eval support, like Nightbot? Trying to parse a json file and randomly choose one of the entries, but we can only figure out how to do so with Nightbot. However, we prefer StreamElements for workflow and usability

[shut turtle]

hi everyone! i need some help with wrapping my head around streamelements widget lingo.

i'm looking to make a widget that holds multiple pieces of stream data (latest/top sub, latest/top tip, cheer, custom text, etc), and can scroll them horizontally and update them live just like the existing widgets for those sorts of things

i can make a mockup if that would help, but basically what i need to start is help seting up a widget that more or less replicates the latest subscriber widget, but can have more text added to it!

any and all advice would be appreciated! i've combed existing widgets and the API guide on github, and maybe i just need more caffeine but to my novice brain it isn't quite sticking!

oh, hey - basically i'm trying to make the advanced recent events widget but it scrolls on one row! just found that, lol

[hot trout]

@unreal matrix nope

[terse crest]

Nice, didn't know that

[kindred hemlock]

I know, I've read everything but I don't understand...

[pulsar willow]

i have esportal.com elo, today elo(eloChange).
and also when i do gather in the lobby so give a command! gather that lobby link

[hollow phoenix]

Sorry to ask what is surely a stupid question but I cannot see how to make the font size in my alerts dynamic. Can someone point me towards it? 🙇‍♂️ I saw in one person's screenshot for another issue they literally have a toggle for dynamic font size but I do not seem to have such a toggle.

[severe shell]

I'm not sure if you are talking about this toggle, but it is on the image you sent

[hollow phoenix]

Yes exactly! I was searching for how to do this, and I found this screenshot in the forums. The toggle is present in that screenshot (which I did not take) but I don't see in SteamElements. 😕

[severe shell]

Ahh okay, now I got what you mean. What kind of alert/widget are you trying to use? Can you send a screenshot of it?

[hollow phoenix]

It's follower/subs/raid alerts. I want the text to not overflow the box. Does this show what you need, @severe shell ?

[tame needle]

is there a limit to how long the html or javascript can be?

[hardy walrus]

Character wise not really.

But there is one if it get's too customized.

[severe shell]

Okay, these ones does not have dynamic text, the dynamic text are for labels.
My suggestion is that you put the username in one line and the next text in other, for instance:
"Johnny
is now following"

However, if the alert you trying to setup is the ones the user can send a message (resubscriber/bits/tips), you can define the padding for the message, it will be on "secondary text > advanced" for that.

[hollow phoenix]

Oh, that's a shame. It'd be great if it was available for alerts! I'll try out your suggestion and see if I can make it work. Thanks for your help.

[hollow phoenix]

Another question. Is it possible to get the avatar of a user for use in an alert? For example: if @severe shell started following me could I include their avatar in the alert?

[severe shell]

Not natively, you would need to create your code for that

Sorry to bother you, but can I still use "OBS Studio" with Stream Elements or do I have to download "OBS.Live" in order for it to communicate with Stream Elements?

[raw igloo]

You can use OBS Studio and just use a browser source for the overlay

I'm trying to share a widget I've made with other people by creating a link with dashboard/overlays/share in the URL but when people click it, it just sends them back to their homepage, is there something I need to set for permissions?

[remote token]

thanks @raw igloo so is is there any benefit to switch to OBS LIVE or should i just stick to OBS STUDIO when using stream elements?

[hot trout]

OBS.live (now se.live) is a plugin for OBS Studio

[raw igloo]

Yea personal preference. It's just a plugin so if you like the plugin features then use it if not just stick to OBS Studio.

Hi. I'm exploring SE websockets for emiting custom payloads. It seems widgets receive event:test events but not event ones. Is this expected? What's the difference between the two, given the goal is to send custom payloads? Is there any reason not to use event:test? Thanks

[still juniper]

Replying to myself, partially. Seems event:test is not queueable, so that's a big no-no. Still wondering if I can use SE websockets to send custom event/payload or if I have to spin my own server to connect to the widget overlay (although in this case I don't know how queue would be handled...)

[jagged rover]

anyone know how to change this to say 0/5 rather than 200/5?

[kindred hemlock]

Thanks bro ! ❤️

[elfin arch]

are you doing this inside of an Alertbox again or in a custom widget?

[uneven oxide]

@jagged rover ⤵️

To reset goals:

• from the Overlay Editor > Session data on top right (monitor symbol) > Goals tab > reset progress of desired goal
• from the Dashboard > Activity feed on the left > Widget data on the right > Goals tab -> reset progress of desired goal

Note: Goal widgets (progress) only counts up and doesn't go down automatically, if you lose followers/subs.

[still juniper]

I'm now trying the custom widget approach to handle my own alerts (the tips workaround is a bit messy and doesn't scale well, so exploring alternatives). The goal is to have my custom events queued with the alertbox events (sub, bits, etc), so alerts/animations don't overlap. How to send those events and how to handle the queue is what I'm trying to figure out. I've managed to emulate a cheer-latest event of amount $0 by sending through SE Websockets an event-test. So although the event:test is not queueable itself, the cheer event simulated after is and I can use it to send my custom payload. But still feels hacky. Ideally I'd like to send my own event (if that's even possible). Using my own WS server would be a way, but then I don't know how my widget would hook into the global queue (I'm reading/testing all that I can before asking here but I'm having a hard time grasping the full picture of SE for now, so I apologize in advance)

[elfin arch]

let's start with the Queue; you want to use: https://github.com/StreamElements/widgets/blob/master/CustomCode.md#resumequeue-method-and-widgetduration-property in your custom widget

this ties into all the other widgets in the 'main' queue; including the default alert boxs

[elfin arch]

here's a quick example for the SE_API.resumeQueue; queue up a couple follower emulations then a tip then another follower and you can see how the custom widget is included in the main queue https://streamelements.com/dashboard/overlays/share/61cce1f5e952c4b0c35df591

[elfin arch]

the field data is the maximum timeout; then you override that in the code to prevent everything from queuing up

[hearty gulch]

Good afternoon. Can't use editor in My Overlays. Says Uh-oh...
Overlay does not exist, even though i just added them from the gallery

[still juniper]

That I've managed to understood so far about the queue. Issue is that ideally I want to emit my own events, and not use SE's built-in ones (i.e. tip-latest) (again, if that's even possible). And unless I'm missing something or misunderstanding, the queue is "attached" to the OnEventReceived and those built-in events. Because If I send a random event (from my own server even) to my custom widget, I don't see how the rest of widgets would understand they must wait their execution. As I said, I can use one built-in event with custom data, but I just feel there must be an easier or less hacky way to do this - for example, do custom tip widgets from external 3rd pages (e.g. Tiltify) usually queue with the rest of alerts or they just don't care as long as their alert is shown? I don't know if I'm maybe expecting too much from the platform and this is plain not supported/not why people create custom widgets (thanks btw, I really appreciate your time helping)

[lament hazel]

Hi, is there an example of a vote widget?

[elfin arch]

maybe this will help? https://github.com/pjonp/pjTestBot/blob/master/modules/.SE_Overlays/emojiRotator/sePubSub_beta.js . This reads the channel point rewards from Twitch and then sends them as a custom event to the overlay. The listener is custom 'reward-reward'; and the data object is all custom as well.

[elfin arch]

there are a couple in #widget-share ; search for poll

[still juniper]

Will take a look, thanks

[elfin arch]

👍 ... i never tested that with the queue system; but it should work fine inside of it 🤞

[still juniper]

Checked your code, and indeed that's something I tried (and just re-tried) but unfortunately it doesn't work. I'm suspecting it has to do with the sandboxing of the widgets, since only the custom widget receives the CustomEvent, and it seems the global queue ain't aware of it either. I even tried dispatching a built-in event id instead of the custom one, and it doesn't queue with the alert box (log shows [QUEUE]: Broadcasting event (follower-latest) when simulating in the editor, but not when emitting the CustomEvent within the widget)

[elfin arch]

Hmm, I'm afk now but will try to throw it in the main queue a little later. You did set the widget duration key in the field data, correct?

[still juniper]

Yep, the widget does queue if I let the editor be the one emulating/dispatching the events (supposing I use one built-in event id), just not when I emit them from within the widget

[elfin arch]

Hmmm, I'll have to check later... Never actually tested that part

[elfin arch]

yup; i'm stumped on this one. definitely not adding to the queue; may it does have to be a websocket emit or API call to get them into the queue.

[unreal matrix]

anyone know if it's possible to parse data in an api in a SE command?
