$(repeat) Variable

Overview​

The $(repeat) variable allows you to repeat a specified phrase multiple times in your StreamElements Chatbot messages. This can be useful for creating emphasis, generating patterns, or simply for fun interactions in chat.

Usage​

The basic syntax for using the $(repeat) variable is:

$(repeat <number> <phrase>)

Where <number> is the number of times you want to repeat the phrase, and <phrase> is the text you want to repeat.

Examples​

To repeat a word three times:

$(repeat 3 Kappa)

Output:

Kappa Kappa Kappa

Using with Other Variables​

You can combine $(repeat) with other variables:

$(repeat 2 "$(user) is awesome!")

If triggered by user "StreamerPro", the output would be:

StreamerPro is awesome! StreamerPro is awesome!

Parameters​

  1. Number: The number of times to repeat the phrase. Must be a positive integer.
  2. Phrase: The text or variable to be repeated.

Note: Ensure to wrap the phrase in quotes if it contains spaces or special characters

  • $(queryescape): Escapes text for use in URL query parameters.
  • $(random): Generates random numbers or selects random items, which can be used with $(repeat).
