Help, how can I make a command with different response depending on the input?

[MichiTriste]

Hello, does anyone know how I can create a command that works in two ways, first, that when someone does not place any input, that is, placing only the command, nightbot responds in one way. and second, that when the someone places an input followed by the command, for example a “@user”, nightbot responds with a different message.

Hey @MichiTriste!

Funnily enough, the very first question I asked on this forum was pretty similar, here’s the answer I got:

If [condition] then [output] else [output]

Heya, try out something like this, the $(twitch) game variables are compared like strings so make sure you have quotes around them: $(eval var r = false; if('$(twitch username "{{game}}")' == 'game1') r = 'server1'; else if('$(twitch username "{{game}}")' == 'game2') r = 'game2'; if(r) 'User is currenty playing on: ' + r + '.'; else 'User isn\'t currently playing on a server.'; )

Basically, you want to add a test on the Nightbot variable you use in your code, but how you implement the test depends on what variable you use:

• $(query) and $(querystring) give an empty string when no argument are fed into the command
  → so you test it that way: if ('$(query)' === '')
• arguments like $(1) or $(8) give a null when no argument are fed into the command
  → so you test it that way: if ('$(1)' === 'null')
• finally $(touser) always responds with something: when no argument are fed into the command it gives $(user)
  → so to test if the user of the command @'d someone: if ('$(touser)' != '$(user)')

Since $(touser) is equivalent to $(1), but doesn’t require the use of $(user) in the test, I’ll use the latter for the example:

$(eval if ('$(1)' === 'null') { 'MESSAGE_IF_NO_INPUT' } else { 'MESSAGE_IF_INPUT' })

or with ternary operators:

$(eval '$(1)' === 'null' ? 'MESSAGE_IF_NO_INPUT' : 'MESSAGE_IF_INPUT')
