Team Member Shoutout Bot for Twitch Streamers

This is a simple bot that does basic shotouts in twitch chat whenever team members hop in and say something. For now, alerts are chat-only. Next version (soon) will also include a TTS shoutout option.

This and other Twitch bots are being developed during Live-Streams on Twitch.

Getting Started

Should be quick & easy to get up and running but, ofc, if you ever have questions about the specifics, please feel free to ask me during streams or post an issue above.

Prerequisites

• Download & install Python 3.6 (if you haven't already)
• Install PIPENV (venv + package manager) ⇒ python -m pip install pipenv
• oauth token & client-id for a Twitch account for your bot

Installing

1. Download & install Python (if you haven't already)
2. Clone the repo, unzip it somewhere
3. Open up a console window and navigate to the directory you unzipped it in
4. Install requirements via pipenv install
5. Copy & rename .env-example to .env
6. Pop in all your secrets into the respective areas within .env
7. Back to the console, do the pipenv run python bot.py thing to start the bot
8. The bot should greet chat when it comes online.

If you're having trouble starting the bot...

If using pipenv run python bot.py doesn't work, it might be how your environment variables are set up. Try these out...

• python -m pipenv run python bot.py
• python3 -m pipenv run python3 bot.py

If you're still having issues, let me (Bun) know.

Customizing the greeting

You can customize the greeting on line 43 in bot.py. Default, it looks like this:

📢 @{team_member} has arrived!!! They're a fellow stream-team member! Learn more about the team here: https://www.twitch.tv/team/{team_name}

Events

There are 2 events that are used in the code right now.. event_ready and on_event.

You can find more info in TwitchIO's official documentation.

event_ready

This executes when the bot comes online, and will print out to the console.

event_message

This function executes once per event (or message) sent. You can make it handle input from chat that aren't necesarily commands, and fun stuff like that.
