TwitchCommandRespond Node ​

The TwitchCommandRespond node is a "no-code" way to reply to a command with a fixed text message. Add it as a child of any command node (TwitchCommand, TwitchCommandRegex, TwitchCommandContains, TwitchCommandHelp, ...) and it sends its configured message as a reply whenever that parent's command_received signal fires — no script required.

GDScript & C#

Overview ​

TwitchCommandRespond doesn't parse chat messages or check permissions itself. Instead, it listens to the command_received signal of its parent node, and whenever that signal fires, replies in chat with its own fixed respond_message text, addressed to the message that triggered the command.

This makes it a small building block you attach to an existing command node rather than a standalone command type: all matching, permission, cooldown, and argument logic still comes from the parent (e.g. a TwitchCommand configured with Command = "discord"); TwitchCommandRespond only adds the "then say this" part.

Use Cases: Pair it with a TwitchCommand for simple, static replies like:

  • !discord -> "Join our community Discord: discord.gg/yourlink"
  • !socials -> "You can find me on Twitter and YouTube @YourHandle"
  • !lurk -> "Thanks for the lurk! Enjoy the stream."

Prerequisites ​

  1. Add a command node: Add a TwitchCommand (or TwitchCommandRegex/TwitchCommandContains/TwitchCommandHelp) node to your scene and configure it as usual (Command, Permission Level, cooldowns, etc.).
  2. Add TwitchCommandRespond as its child: Add a TwitchCommandRespond node under that command node. It looks at its parent for the command_received signal, so it only works when nested this way.
  3. Chat Message Subscription: Make sure the TwitchEventsub node used by the parent command has a Channel Chat Message subscription created.

Configuration (Inspector Properties) ​

  • Respond Message (String, multiline): Required. The static text message sent to chat when the parent command is successfully triggered.
  • Use Bot (bool): Default true. When enabled, the reply is sent via TwitchBot.chat(...) (the bot account); when disabled, it's sent via TwitchService.chat(...) (the broadcaster/streamer account).

Signals & Methods ​

This node does not introduce new public signals or methods. It listens to its parent's command_received signal internally and replies automatically.

Usage Example (No Code Required) ​

The primary way to use this node is directly in the Godot editor, without any scripting.

  1. Add Nodes: Add a TwitchCommand node, then add a TwitchCommandRespond node as its child.
  2. Configure the TwitchCommand (parent):
    • Set Command to "socials".
    • Set Description to "Displays social media links.".
    • Set User Cooldown to 30.0.
  3. Configure the TwitchCommandRespond (child):
    • In Respond Message, type: You can find me on Twitter @YourHandle and YouTube @YourChannel!
    • Leave Use Bot checked to reply from the bot account, or uncheck it to reply as the broadcaster.

Result: The command is now live. Any user can type !socials in chat (once every 30 seconds per user), and it automatically replies with your configured message. No GDScript connections are needed for this simple case.

Key Considerations ​

  • For Static Responses Only: This node is designed exclusively for responses that do not change. For dynamic responses (e.g., a command that includes the user's name or a random number), connect to the parent command's command_received signal from a script instead.
  • Chat Messages Only: The reply is built from the triggering message as a TwitchChatMessage, so pair this node with a parent command configured for Where = CHAT (or ANYWHERE used only in chat) rather than whispers.
  • Dependencies: The node does nothing without a parent that has a command_received signal (a TwitchCommandBase-derived node) and a non-empty Respond Message.
