  • Import the script to SB
  • Activate all commands
  • Edit arguments if needed
  • %wordFilePath% needs to look like this: C:\JustPoint\ToYour\DesiredFolder
  • A .txt file gets created automatically at %filePath%.

    hello

is this 911

Changelog:

v4

  • Added a simple inbuilt cooldown
  • For both actions:
    • Added allowBots as an true/false argument in General - Settings if you want to use your bot account for the game.
    • Added knownBots in General - Settings, now you can add or remove external bots if there is an issue
  • Cleaned up some log spam
Old Changelogs

v3

  • Multi-Platform support for twitch, trovo, youtube!
  • reworked guessing:
    • Users can not guess like this anymore: h e l l o such messages will be ignored.
    • If the word to guess looks like this for example: _____-_____ users can guess the words in single messages.
    • guessing single letters/numbers still works of course, but only one letter per message.
  • guessLimit has also been revised: only incorrect guesses now increase the counter. This way, it’s fairer for users when guessLimit is no longer tied to the character length of the longest word.
  • In favor of multi-platform support, sendAction got removed.
  • Some sub-action changes:
    • wordFilePath got moved to the group general settings.
    • Hangman Settings renamed to Game Settings.
  • The .txt file created by the script is renamed to Hangman-Wordlist.txt and is used across all platforms.

(After overwriting the old script, it is advisable to restart SB to avoid any malfunctions)

Hotfix v2.2
Just some QoL stuff, you don’t need to update to this version if you’re happy with the old version

  • added a new group ‘General Settings’ containing 2 new arguments:
    • useBot decide if messages should be send with broadcaster or bot account
    • sendAction decide if messages should be displays cursive (like with /me) or non-cursive as before.

This applies to all actions

(yes, i know it says v2.1 in the sub-actions. Just forgot to updated)
