Interval: Every 5 mins
Chat lines: 50 lines
And there is no alia.
And the commands are working
The way you configured the timer, it'll send a message every 5min, so for example:
10:00am 10:05am 10:10am 10:15am 10:20am etc.
If you set up the chat lines to 5 for example, that means for the message to be sent at 10:05am you need to have at least 5 messages sent in your chat between 10:00am and 10:05am.
If these conditions aren't met the timer will not send the message.
Have you made sure these conditions were met for testing?
You're streaming on YouTube, right?
Well, for Nightbot to reply to commands on YouTube you must be streaming.
And when you stream there are a Top Chat and a Live Chat.
Nightbot is only active in the Live Chat.
So make sure you're live streaming and that you're in the Live Chat to test the timer.
Then if your timer Chat Lines is set to 50, Nightbot will turn send a message only if within the last 5min people have sent 50 messages or more in your chat.
So if you set Chat Lines to 2, it'll send a message only if within the last 5min people have sent 2 messages or more in your chat.
And if your timer Interval is 5min, Nightbot will send the message every 5min.
If the timer Interval was 10min it would send a message every 10min, but only if the minimum amount of sent messages within the last 5min has been reached.
If the timer is set up properly as we recommended and if the chat is active, it should be working.
We gave you every explanations on how to make it work and every possibilities of why you don't see it, if there's still an issue, it's on your side to solve it because Nightbot's timer are working just fine.
I'm confident the timer is working and you're just not looking at the right chat.
May I suggest getting an adult to help if you don't fully understand our explanations.
Make them read this conversation and they should be able to guide you.
If timers fail to post, it's generally because:
- your line minimum (within 5 minutes prior) has not been met
- platform spam protection filtered it
Since you state there is some success, I suspect its the line minimum not being reached. Nightbot will not post timed messages to mostly idle chat rooms (otherwise it is basically spam), so if you count less than the minimum of messages 5 minutes prior to the timer then that's why.
With more verbosity, if there is a line minimum of 5, it's 9:05pm, and there's only been 3 messages in chat since 9:00pm then it would not post.
