Counters¶

Overview¶

Every game we play keeps its own running score: kills and deaths, wins and losses, or whatever fits that game. Anyone in chat can check how it's going, overall or just for tonight, and VIPs and mods keep the numbers up to date while we play.

Counters work on every platform we stream to.

How the counters work¶

The counters always follow the game we're playing right now. Switch games and you switch scoreboards, and every game picks up right where it left off last time.

Most games have two counters, like kill and death, or win and loss. Some games use their own names, and some only have one.

Command	Counter it changes
`!kills` `!wins`	The first counter
`!deaths` `!losses`	The second counter

That means !kills and !wins do the same thing, and so do !deaths and !losses, so use whichever reads right for the game. If a game only has one counter, every command uses that one. Each command also works without the s (!kill, !death, !win, !loss).

If tracking is turned off for a game, you can still check its counters, but nobody can change them. The bot will let you know.

After someone changes a counter, that counter is locked for 30 seconds so two people don't count the same thing twice. The bot tells you who just changed it. Each counter has its own cooldown, and checking the counters never waits.

Commands¶

!deaths¶

Shows the counters for the game we're playing, all time.

	Available to	Cooldown	Aliases
	Everyone	None	`!kills`, `!wins`, `!losses`

Example:¶

!deaths
!wins

!deaths today¶

Shows only what's happened this stream, so you can see how tonight is going without the all-time total getting in the way.

	Available to	Cooldown	Aliases
	Everyone	None	`current`, `stream`, `session`, `live`

Example:¶

!deaths today
!wins current

If we're not live, the bot will tell you there's no active stream instead of showing zeros.

!deaths + [number]¶

Adds one to the counter, or more if you give a number. Each counter has its own cooldown, so adding to one never holds up the other.

	Available to	Cooldown	Aliases
	VIPs, Mods	30s ALL	`!kills`, `!wins`, `!losses`

Example:¶

!deaths +
!kills +3

Temporary VIPs can add too.

Fixing a counter¶

Counted one too many, or need a counter set to an exact number? Mods can fix it with $set.
