Nightbot command with Pastebin - tagging a user

[lauramichellexx]

Hello,

I wanted to make a command for the streamer I mod for and use sentences from Pastebin.
Basically looking to make a compliment and roast commands. So for example a user can do
" !compliment @johnsmith " and it would pull a compliment from pastebin & tag both users in the parts from the sentences that have $user & $touser
" Sarawilson wants Johnsmith to know they look great today! "

So I’m trying to get a link made that if I have $user and $touser in my commands on the pastebin it will pull through onto command on nightbot. I did have one work for me but it seems to put " $ " infront of the usernames and when I amend the link it doesn’t work.

Needing help on how to make this link as I can’t seem to figure it out or find one similar on here.

Thank you,

[Emily]

Hey @lauramichellexx!

Please have a look here:

Use Nightbot variables in Pastebin

Hey @steelboost! If you want to use Nightbot variables values inside a Pastebin, you need to call them before entering the Pastebin as Nightbot reads that code but doesn’t replace the variables, it’s linked to how JS works. So for your code, here’s how to do it, call the $(urlfetch) and define $(user) outside of the paste: $(eval r=`$(urlfetch json http://tmi.twitch.tv/group/user/$(channel)/chatters)`; u=`$(user)`; $(urlfetch https://pastebin.com/raw/QNGztScQ)) And inside your paste QNGztScQ,…

Thank you for your reply!!

Im still struggling on how to understand this as im new! Does this mean I can use the $touser / $user in pastebin, I have to use them on the twitch chat command before hand and just use the phase in pastebin or is there a way to use this on pastebin?

Just looking to make a command were in stream we only have to do “!compliment @Johnscott” so that nightbot can pull the sentence from pastebin and it will place the users where the $touser/$user is on the sentence… if this makes sense?

So pastebin sentence would be “$user would like to let $touser know they are great!”

Then your command will be something like this:

$(eval u=`$(user)`; t=`$(touser)`; p=`$(urlfetch https://pastebin.com/raw/XXXXXXXX)`.split(`#`); p[Math.floor(Math.random()*p.length)])

And in your Pastebin you replace $(user) by u and $(touser) by t:
• either you use template literals, a combination of backticks ` and ${variables}:

`${u} would like to let ${t} know they are great!`#

• or you use strings with variables:

u + ' would like to let ' + t + ' know they are great!'#

Thanks for your quick reply!

Nightbot is not registering this command at all. I copy and pasted the link you made up for me! and made a sentence in my pastebin stating

${u} would like to let ${t} know they are awesome!`;

to try it out but it was picking up letters like " i " or " e " ? lol not sure what I have done wrong here!

Thank you for your help its really appreciated!

@Emily I have found this and tried to give this a go but still the same problem is happening with random letters appearing.

A command that implements other commands?

Ok so here’s what I put: !editcom !slap $(eval user="$(user)";touser="$(touser)";responses=$(urlfetch json PASTEBIN);responses[Math.floor(Math.random()*responses.length)]) (PASTEBIN is replaced with the proper url, ZvVsTuMU) and when I do it, nightbot just returns random letters of the alphabet, no matter if I put !slap Mark or just !slap

What is your command code? Please copy/paste it here, it must include the link to your Pastebin, and put 4 spaces before your code, that way it stays formatted properly. It’ll be easier for me to correct the mistakes if I can see them.

Hey!

Here is my code & the correct pastebin link for you to have a look at the pastebin to see if I need to change anything on there too.
Thank you!

!editcom !compliment $(eval user="$(user)" touser="$(touser)"; p=$(urlfetch json https://pastebin.com/raw/zDM9CAwL).split(;); p[Math.floor(Math.random()*p.length)])

[Emily]

Okay, so here’s the fix:

!editcom !compliment $(eval user=`$(user)`; touser=`$(touser)`; p=`$(urlfetch json https://pastebin.com/raw/zDM9CAwL)`.split(`;`); p[Math.floor(Math.random()*p.length)])

and in your Pastebin, replace $user and $touser by ${user} and ${touser} respectively, as I showed in my previous example:

${user} would like ${touser} to know that they look fantastic today!; 
${touser} is like a breath of fresh air - From ${user} x; 
${user} thinks ${touser} is one of the best troops! we love to have you here x; 
${user} thinks you're an absolute angel x;
$to user would like to give ${touser} a hug right now!;
This may sound cheesy, but on a scale from 1 to 10, ${touser} is an 11 x;
${touser}, You're like a ray of sunshine - ${user} x;
If ${touser} was a fruit, you would be a fine-apple; 
${touser}, You are more amazing than you realize. - ${user} x;
${touser}, You’re such a good friend that I’d spend all my Jose Peso's on you - ${user}; 
If ${touser} ever happened to catch fire, ${user} would be glad to pee on them.;
${touser}, If you were a booger, I’d pick you first - ${user}; 
${touser}, Out of all the people in the world... I hate you the least. - ${user} x;
${touser}, your smile is proof that the best things in life are free - ${user}; 
Everyone needs a friend like ${touser} in their life.;
${touser}, Are you a beaver? 'Cause damnnnnnnn!;
${touser} must be a banana because ${user} finds you very a-peeling.;
${touser}, I know it's cheesy, but you're really grate!
