Advanced Usage​

Userlevels and Cooldowns​

When adding and editing commands, you can also specify the userlevel required to execute the command as well as the command's cooldown time. You just need to apply the parameters as shown below.

!commands add !command_name -ul=userlevel -cd=cooldown -a=!alias command response

!command_name / command response is the same as above.

cooldown is the minimum number of seconds between command uses.

userlevel is one of the valid userlevels from below.

!alias is a different command you want this command to call. Note that the input passed to the provided alias is the command response. To capture user input, you'd need to place variables in the command response (like $(query)).

  • moderator - Channel Moderator
  • twitch_vip - Twitch VIP (only for Twitch accounts)
  • regular - Nightbot Regular (users in the regulars list)
