$(repeat)

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.

Use it

!command add !hype $(repeat 5 HYPE)

Example chat

ViewerName:!hype

StreamElements:HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE

Usage

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

$(repeat <count> <phrase>)

Where <count> is the number of times you want to repeat the phrase, and <phrase> is the text you want to repeat. The repetitions are joined with single spaces.

Examples

Using with Other Variables

You can combine $(repeat) with other variables:

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

Example chat

StreamElements:StreamerPro is awesome! StreamerPro is awesome!

Parameters

The $(repeat) variable requires two parameters:

1. Count: The number of times to repeat the phrase. Must be a positive integer; capped at 100.
2. Phrase: The text or variable to be repeated.

Note

Ensure to wrap the phrase in quotes if it contains spaces or special characters. The repeat count is capped at 100, and the total output is limited to roughly 1,000 characters.

Caution

If the count is missing, not a number, or less than 1, the bot sends nothing — the entire command response is suppressed.

FAQ

Q: Is there a limit to how many times I can repeat a phrase?

A: Yes. The repeat count is capped at 100, and the total output is limited to roughly 1,000 characters — whichever is reached first.

Q: Can I use $(repeat) within other variables?

A: Yes, you can nest $(repeat) within other variables or use other variables within $(repeat).

Q: Why doesn’t my command respond at all?

A: A missing or invalid repeat count suppresses the entire response. Double-check that the first parameter is a whole number of 1 or more.
