Forums Scripts & Popups (Twitch) Help with $msgtags

How do I replace $msgtags(display-name).key in so that it could register another string as like $1 , $2 , $3 , etc....? Like $1($msgtags(display-name).key) ?

Not sure if i understand you correctly, but try "/tokenize 32 bla bla something". That will return $1 and $2 as "bla", and $3 as "something".

For scripts I replace $nick with $msgtags(display-name).key so it can display the right Twitch username with the correct capitalization (looks a bit more professional). But I was wonder how to do the same with $1 , $2 , $3 , etc....

The same what? That you use $msgtags() to get the twitch username instead, that's making a lot of sense and that's fine, but about $1 etc, you are not making any sense, please elaborate, eventually gives some examples

If you're trying to target a user like for instance this script right here:

on 1:connect: { raw CAP REQ :twitch.tv/membership }

on 1:text:*subscribed*:#mattachewowns:{
if ( $nick == twitchnotify ) && ($istok($1-,subscribed to,32)) halt
elseif ($nick == twitchnotify) && ( $4 == $null ) { describe $chan chewH $1 has just subscribed! chewHype }
elseif ($nick == twitchnotify) && ( $4 isnum ) { describe $chan chewH $1 has subscribed for $4 months in a row! chewHype }
}


I need the $1 to have the right $msgtag but have no idea how. I did $msgtag with replacing $nick but don't know how to do it with replacing $1

In your example there, twitchnotify already does proper capitalization.

In this case, trying to target a user won't always get a $msgtag, but instead I'd make an API call for it.



When you want to use it, just do $displayName($nick) or anything that needs to go in that spot in place of $nick.

You've forget to add 'nocache' into the calling url, if i saw correctly.

Use:

Odd, it's worked fine for me when I've done it like that, but I'll make the changes.

AFAIK twitch usernames do not change often, a cached copied is fine (and probably preferred*) for this scenario. Though really, as long as the URL has some randomness to it a cached copy will not be used.

Each of the following are valid, assuming there aren't more parameters after

*: Cuts done on bandwidth and speeds things up because a local, cached, copy will be used if present
