Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way to make a command that would edit a text file, which would then change the text in OBS. For example, I have a cat cam in my stream and there's a status text under the video, I'd like chat to be able to type something like "!cat napping on the bed" and then the text in OBS would change to "Status: napping on the bed." is this possible?

I mean yeah is should be possible. But you’d need some experience with that sorta stuff. But yes if your determined enough it is definitely Possible
