I have a !so command that calls the official Twitch /shoutout command, and it’s worked fine for a while. But now when I try to edit the command, it doesn’t let me, and I’ve found out that Nightbot seems to only allow aliases of existing Nightbot commands now? So it doesn’t let you alias to any of the /me, /announce, etc. commands. Is this a bug, or an intended change? I’m using the ‘beta’ UI update for editing commands, if that makes a difference.
You wouldn’t put the command as an alias as that’s for calling other Nightbot commands. Something like
!commands add !me9 /me $(query)
will still use the /me command as expected. We do restricted what commands can and can’t be used.
When was the change made to make the alias only use nightbot commands?
It’s always been stated what’s allowed in the ailas when creating a command in the dashboard:
If this command is supposed to call another command, specify the other command here. Note that the input passed to the listed alias is the message. To capture user input, you’d need to place variables in the message (like
$(query)).
