So I saw a previous topic saying the reason that >60min timers wouldn’t be a native option is that it would complicate the UI, but I think you could just have a field to just type a number for the desired number of minutes - that would be cleaner than a slider with 55 individual options anyway (imo) and allow for a greater range.
So that change would be great, but the topic also said I could use the API to make longer timers, so if I could figure that out that would solve my particular issue, but I’ve never messed with an API before so idk where to start. Like do I need to use an IDE or something? Is there any step-by-step tutorials on this sort of thing for nightbot?
Thanks for your consideration and/or any assistance!
u can actually accomplish that within the command, as long as the command isn’t too complicated requiring most of the 500 character limit… i used this to make a command go off every 4 hours and 20 minutes… (the math is 13 times 20 minutes = 4 hours and 20 minutes)… i set the timer to 20 minutes and aliased to a command with this code…
technically the command goes off every 20 minutes, but if it’s between the 4 hours and 20 minutes it just sends a single space which twitch will ignore and nothing shows in chat
and u can mathematically set it to however long u want… like set a timer to 60 minutes and divide the count by 2 to make it go off every 2 hours, etc, etc
