Introduction

This is a detailed overview for the Timed Actions extension for Streamer.Bot. This extension is primarily used for non-repeating timed messages in the streamer’s chat, but it can also be repurposed to trigger other random actions outside of chat messages.

Configuration

Timed Message 1-3 are the different actions triggered when sending different messages to the streamer's chat. It is recommended that each message/sub-action be assigned its own numbered Timed Message action. The Timed Messages - Random Order and Timed Messages - Set Order are the main actions that will trigger all of these Timed Message actions. Timed Messages - Random Order and Timed Messages - Set Order will have a Timed Action trigger assigned to them as demonstrated in Figure 2.

Set Order

Messages/Actions will trigger in the order according to how the Timed Message actions are labeled. Set the messageMax argument equal to the number of Timed Message actions and set a repeating timer to trigger Set Order action.
