GIFT

Godot IRC For Twitch addon

To use this plugin, you need to create a new application on dev.twitch.tv to get a client ID and a client secret. The redirect URL of your App has to be http://localhost:18297.

The example expects an auth.txt file in the example folder with 3 lines (client id, client secret, channel to join)

Below is a working example of this plugin, which is included in this project. A replication of the twitch chat.

Examples

The following code is also included in this repository.

extends Gift

func _ready() -> void:
	cmd_no_permission.connect(no_permission)
	chat_message.connect(on_chat)
	event.connect(on_event)

	# I use a file in the working directory to store auth data
	# so that I don't accidentally push it to the repository.
	# Replace this or create a auth file with 3 lines in your
	# project directory:
	# <client_id>
	# <client_secret>
	# <initial channel>
	var authfile := FileAccess.open("./auth", FileAccess.READ)
	client_id = authfile.get_line()
	client_secret = authfile.get_line()
	var initial_channel = authfile.get_line()

	# When calling this method, a browser will open.
	# Log in to the account that should be used.
	await(authenticate(client_id, client_secret))
	var success = await(connect_to_irc())

	# what events exist, which API versions are available and which conditions are required.
	# Make sure your token has all required scopes for the event.
	subscribe_event("channel.follow", 2, {"broadcaster_user_id": user_id, "moderator_user_id": user_id})

	# Adds a command with a specified permission flag.
	# All implementations must take at least one arg for the command info.
	# Implementations that recieve args requrires two args,
	# the second arg will contain all params in a PackedStringArray
	# This command can only be executed by VIPS/MODS/SUBS/STREAMER
	add_command("test", command_test, 0, 0, PermissionFlag.NON_REGULAR)

	# These two commands can be executed by everyone
	add_command("helloworld", hello_world)

	# This command can only be executed by the streamer
	add_command("streamer_only", streamer_only, 0, 0, PermissionFlag.STREAMER)

	# Command that requires exactly 1 arg.
	add_command("greet", greet, 1, 1)

	# Command that prints every arg seperated by a comma (infinite args allowed), at least 2 required
	add_command("list", list, -1, 2)

	# Adds a command alias
	add_alias("test","test1")
	add_alias("test","test2")
	add_alias("test","test3")
	# Or do it in a single line
	# add_aliases("test", ["test1", "test2", "test3"])

	remove_command("test2")

	# Now only knows commands "test", "test1" and "test3"
	remove_command("test")
	# Now only knows commands "test1" and "test3"

	# Remove all commands that call the same function as the specified command
	purge_command("test1")
	# Now no "test" command is known

	# Send a chat message to the only connected channel (<channel_name>)
	# Fails, if connected to more than one channel.
#	chat("TEST")

	# Send a chat message to channel <channel_name>
#	chat("TEST", initial_channel)

	# Send a whisper to target user
