Counter Commands for Streamer Bot
I received a comment on a recent video asking about how to make a counter for your stream that does not reset when streamer bot is closed.
I always like to say I’ll help you solve the issues you have when you ask questions in the comments, so I’m putting my money where my mouth is and making a video in response to this question. So here is how to create a counter for your stream using persistent variables.
The key to having a counter not expire or reset when the bot is closed is to use persistent global variables. The data for these variables is saved in the background to a .dat file, instead of just being held in memory, so when the bot is closed and reopened it’s able to recover the previous value of the variable. I use this for my death counter commands as well as about two dozen other actions I have set up. In this example, I’ll show you how to set up a command that’ll leverage one of these variables.
