Hi, I'm running a trivia bot for twitch streaming, and I would like it to automatically open picture files on certain questions. How can this be accomplished?

Any help is greatly appreciated

You could use the /run command.
/run path\image.png

It's not beautiful, but I'd expect it to be some long code if you wanna manipulate the windows viewer somehow

Thanks, it works great now! There's just one last thing I can't figure out:

How do you get a bot to trigger on its own text? This appears to not work. I suppose I could have yet another client open to fix that, but that seems like an extremely clunky solution :P

on input

First I tried the crude method of using 2 clients, and just repeating this for every question:

on *:text:Trivia question:#: if ($nick = BotName ) { /run C:\Image.jpg }

It works fine when I type in the question manually, but nothing happens when the bot is running and asks the same question (Tat's trivia script). Why is this? frown

I also don't see how the above code can be transformed into ON INPUT.

You need to edit the trivia script.
