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

[Emily]

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')
