Shoutouts
Just a quick question. So I want people who i give shout outs for to pop up on screen with a little icon. Would I have to add every users name? Or is there a way to ad a similar @ like there is in twitch chat? I was going to build it in alerts, but when making the message pattern it isnt working.

For this, you have to use a Twitch chat message alert event and regular expression for the message pattern:
/!shoutout @(\w+)/.
Then, in the text group settings, use Chat Message Capture Group #1 to refer to the text after the @-symbol.
This will allow you to type !shoutout @marc in chat, and it will show "Shoutout to marc" in the layer.
Hope this helps 🙏
Ah okay cause I was thinking there was no way I was the first one. But no command prompt I tried would trigger correctly unless I had the command set for that name specifically.
Hehe yeah it's a bit complicated because you have to use regular expression, but it's quite powerful.
You can have multiple capture groups too so you can create a totally custom experience. Let us know how it goes 🙏
Appreciate you guys. I'm trying to build something on like a 2016 Chromebook haha. So everything is a little...rough. but we're getting there.
