Custom Alerts with Streamer.Bot 0.2.2 - Step-by-Step
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- Here's a concise step-by-step guide to making simple, customized alerts that look and sound like StreamElements, StreamLabs, or whatever you desire. I promise you this is both briskly paced and easy to follow. Trust in the Red Arrows.
I did my best to highlight critical info and afford you moments to pause when you need to copy or check your work vs. mine. I did this with Streamer.Bot v0.2.2 (so it has the Triggers pane) and OBS 30.

You'll need Streamer.Bot installed and set-up for this video; here's SB's own very quick videos to get that done for you if you're not there yet!

Finally, an easy-to-understand, step-by-step tutorial that is tailored to my level of ignorance.
what is the url code to put so streamer bot pulls the PFP of the person that received the gifted sub?
I have learned so much in the past few days, holy frick lol
@@thetorvic23Sorry I'm only just seeing this, YT's comment viewer for the creator is... it needs work. Anyway, I'm planning a follow-up video to this one where I show precisely that lil trick. I just needed to get a new job, which I did! So, stand by for the follow-up.
This is wonderful. It is so rare to find simple straightforward instructions. Thank you so much!!
You made my weekend, ty for saying so! I'm so glad it was helpful. :)
Hey there, I'm streaming for about 4 years now and watched many many tutorials in my career, but this one is for real one of the best tutorials I ever watched! Keep it up man. 💪
That means a lot to me, thank you, sincerely. This was very encouraging to read. :)
@@thadeshammer it was a pleasure :D
Playing Space Debris in the background... nice very nice.
It makes me so happy you recognize that tune. I actually wrote to "Captain" himself and asked permission to do use it. He's a chill, very kind dude.
@@thadeshammer that song started an adventure in mod music. I find it still is a massive influence in my life.
Absolutely the best tutorial for alerts I've seen. Thank you for putting this together!
Ive seen DOZENS of streamer bot videos and they all give me a little peice of info i need. this was clear easy to understand and thorough. Teaching the mechanics and use cases. Just thank you sub friggen scribed
Friend, ty so much, your comment made my week. :) I'm so glad this was helpful.
I've got a busy day today. Only started using Streamer.bot yesterday. I'll be copying your tutorial before branching out.
Many, many thanks 👍
Brilliant!
Homework completed . Works a dream
Great video
Thank you!
This is SO well presented and easy to follow. THANK YOU. I'm going to be using this tutorial for my own alerts!
Berry! I'm so glad it's helpful! Thank you!
Popping in a week later to say I made all the things and have all the alerts now! Works like a charm! ^_^ (I will have to reach out about one minor weird thing involving video media for the alerts but we can talk about that at some point)
This video was easy to follow and well explained. Makes it easy to move on and work out other use cases. Great job!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for saying so. :)
Brilliant video. I'm so impressed with how well you explained everything. And seeing you do things in such a practical way (such as duplicating show/hide sub-actions and then adding the delay afterwards) demonstrates the "real-life" experience you have that only comes in time with using the program. I was surprised how many tidbits I learned along the way, such as the difference in capitalisation of user and username variables, ability to copy/paste OBS transition settings. Enjoyed the video a lot, thank you!
Thanks for your thoughtful and kind reply! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Love the tutorial made it alot easier to understand, was even about to add my own spin on it in my stream, thanks for the hard work
I'm so glad it helped!!
im so glad I finally found this video YOU ARE THE GOAT FOR THIS ONE
I'm so glad!! Thank you!
A hecking hero and legend
Thank you man!! I've been redoing my stream and wanted to get away from stream elements and use streamerbot exclusively for awhile now. This helps a LOT!
This made me super happy to read today, thank you for sharing. :) I'm so glad this was helpful!!
DUDE THIS IS SO GOOD THANK YOU SO MUCH
Happy to help. :)
Woo! Lots of stuff for me to do for my stream now! XD

Thank you, great stuff.
This is a great guide! Thank you! Im for sure subbing
I appreciate you, thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful.
Awesome video! Thank you
Glad it helped!
Great and easy video!
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful!
great video, thank for your job!
Thank you, I'm very glad it was helpful. :)
Solid video! Thanks
That's very kind of you to say, thank you. I'm so glad it was helpful. :)
Great video!!
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful!
This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm going to use it a bit differently though. Thanks.
So glad it's helpful! Don't do precisely what I say! Do what works! Build it so it's yours! Enjoy!!
Right to business easy to follow no BS instant sub
Great tutorial!
I was about to ask "What if you have several scenes and want to use the same alert?" but I think I figured it out!
You basically want to duplicate the visible/hidden actions and place them at the same location for all scenes.
But perhaps there is a smarter global way of doing it.
I'm glad it was helpful! There's a few ways to go about it; I use a sort of "master overlay scene" that contains things like my alerts and my emote explosions and nest that master scene in whatever scenes need alerts on em...which is just a more contained (if more complicated) version of what you're doing! If it works it works! Nice work!
thank you
You're very welcome. :) I'm glad it was helpful.
Really great video man. Much appreciated. I'm hung on donations and anything monetary related. I can not get them to work. I was never able to. I used another persons (they offered them for free at the time) but they have since pay walled them so they no longer work for me.
Thanks for your kind words, I'm glad it was helpful. In principle the donation bit will work the same BUT depending on the provider you're using, you may need to take additional steps beyond Streamer.bot or OBS. (For instance, iirc, Ko-fi needs additional configuration on their site and you have to log into Streamer.bot's *website* and paste a key there, or something.)
In general for me, if a thing seems like it should be working but it's just not, I will tear it down to its studs and build it back up from scratch, following whatever guide step-by-step slowly. In fact, I'm pretty sure I did that a few times back when I dipped into using Ko-fi. (I've since stopped using Ko-fi.)
You mention that you were going to get into it but how do you control the length of the audio for the alert? like what if I have a 10 second audio that I only want 4 seconds of?
Sorry, life ate my content creation time! I use Audacity and trim the sound down to what I want it to be; I actually have in some cases multiple edits of the same audio file (different lengths of the Final Fantasy IV fanfare, different lengths of an applause clip, all in separate audio files) that I have fire off for different alerts. Not an elegant solution but it's concrete and easy to manage.
@@thadeshammer I see okay that exactly what I ended up doing lol, thank you for taking your time for the reply and the video!
I had some trouble getting different images to work per alert. I decided not to use the profile picture of the user, and only have my images in OBS. How do I swap between different images per alert? When I add the image in just like what was done for the profile picture, the alert ceases to work entirely.
I keep considering making a video to drill into this specific point because it is a little tricky. Honestly, I wanted to bulk that out in the video but I was already out of utensils and time, the world is pretty nutso for me right now.
Basically, you make the call for info TWICE in the same Action. You call and fetch one person's info, then land it into its own OBS source and local variable; then you call and fetch the second person's info, and land it into a different OBS source and different local variable. Since when you call the second time, you use the normal container variables and blow away the previous values, you gotta stow em someplace safe. Make sense?
Thank you for the video!!! I'm like a week at the most into streamer bot and so this was pretty helpful!
I do have one question though, what's the URL to pull the PFP for the person that got the gifted sub? I've been trying different things and even google'd it and nothing =(
The URL is contained within the variable %targetUserProfileImageURL% which is generated in the argument stack created when you run "Add target info from who redeemed".
@@BeardlessWhelp hmmm, well then what's the url for the person that paid for the gift? Same thing? That's where I'm not sure because there is that %recipientId% thing too.
In the sub-action, I did Get User Info For Target, then in the next pop up I did Source Type: Variable, Variable: recipientUserName (how he had it in his video). I guess we can start here, is this right?
Cause then I do have OBS Set Browser Source Url and all that other stuff is correct.
I'm new to streamer bot but I do know how to pull a single pfp 😅 just not the double pfp
Appreciate the help!
@@thetorvic23 Oh I misread your original question! I wasn't thinking specifically about the *recipient* of a gifted sub. I'll see if I can find the answer, I'm interested in knowing that too.
@@thetorvic23 Simplest way would be to Add target info from variable recipientUser, get that profile image URL to a new variable, then Add target info from who redeemed.
Edit for future reader clarity:
Twitch > User > Get User Info For Target > Source Type: Variable; Variable: recipientUser
Core > Arguments > Set Argument > Variable Name: recipientUserProfileImageUrl (or whatever you want to call it); Value: %targetUserProfileImageUrl%
Twitch > User > Get User Info For Target > Source Type: User
Now you can call up the gift GIVER's profile image (%targetUserProfileImageUrl%) and the gift RECEIVER's profile image (%recipientUserProfileImageUrl%)
@@BeardlessWhelp honestly I probably worded it wrong 😅 still learning the lingo myself.
Side question, have you had it where you hit Test on the trigger and nothing happens in OBS? (yes, i have sub actions set up right lol for anyone that's gonna ask) like, sometimes it just won't do anything at all. I'll close out both obs and streamer bot, open back up and still nothing. I literally have to restart my pc sometimes. And the weird thing is, Sbot doesn't give any type of error message like I've gotten sometimes and I've seen in other videos lol
Is there a way to have streamerbot pull a random person from chat without having to write code for it?
I tried doing the Add Random Users sub action, even left Present unchecked so I'm testing off stream, and even looked at the wiki and tried all 3 different variations listed online and when I test it, the message in obs comes up as the %% code.
The weird thing is, when I go into the Action History, it shows that it literally pulled like 75 users perfectly.
Do I have to be live for this to work? It didn't give me that notification that said I had to be.
Might have to gift a sub on twitch next time I see ya 😅
I haven't played with it directly, but SB has Add Random Users and if you set that Count to 1 and check Present Only, I would expect this would pump in the standard variables (and if you want the extended ones, you'd have to call Get User Info for Target). Which variable are you not populating that you expect to populate?
It sounds like you're just doing this for testing, is that the case? You could set static values for each for testing and see things happen (I do this by just injecting and then later disabling Core -> Arguments -> Set Argument).
@@thadeshammer did some digging and got it working. Found some strings or whatever they're called to import then just copied the sub action from those presets and copied into the action/trigger i already had set up. Tho I feel like it should be easier than that lol.
I was working on a new lurk for my channel and one of the things I needed was to pull a random person from the viewer list for devious reasons 😅
Does this work with UA-cam as well?
Good question: I haven't tested it (I don't stream on YT) but in principle it should work the same, there are UA-cam hooks under the Triggers menu!
@@thadeshammer thank you. I have been having a hard time getting alerts on my UA-cam for subscribers when I’m live. Anyways, thank you for the reply and your video was very helpful.
i’m having trouble with gift bombs
What kind of trouble?
Hi...can this be used on Rumble
Streamer.bot doesn't currently support Rumble, so unfortunately my tutorial's no good for Rumble until it does.
Okay thanks for the reply
and how to get cheers alert
Triggers Pane right click -> Twitch -> Chat -> Cheer
