Power-Ups
Power-Ups are Twitch rewards that are redeemed with Bits in the same module as Channel Rewards.
In Firebot, they work similarly to Channel Rewards because they can trigger Firebot effects when they are redeemed.
The main difference is that Power-Ups are created and managed on Twitch. Firebot cannot create, rename, price, enable, or disable Power-Ups. Firebot can attach effects to them so something happens on stream when a viewer redeems one.
You can also open them directly on Twitch here: https://dashboard.twitch.tv/u/YOUR-CHANNEL/viewer-rewards/channel-points/rewards
You can access Power-Ups from Power-ups & Rewards, located in the main navigation sidebar under Triggers. Select the Power-ups tab to view them.
Power-Ups are managed on Twitch. Firebot can only attach and run effects for them.
Managing Power-Ups
Click Manage Power-ups to open the Twitch dashboard page where Power-Ups are managed.
The Power-Ups list in Firebot shows the Power-Up name, Bits cost, tags, and active status.
The Power-Up limit is shown under the Power-Ups list.
Use the filter dropdown at the top of the tab to show all Power-Ups or only Power-Ups with a selected tag.
If you need to change the name, Bits cost, availability, or other Twitch-owned settings for a Power-Up, do that from the Twitch dashboard.
Editing Effects
To edit what Firebot does when a Power-Up is redeemed, click the three dot menu on the Power-Up or right-click the Power-Up, then select Edit Effects.
Power-Ups can run the same kind of effects as other Firebot triggers.
You can learn more about effects here: Effects.
Moving Power-Ups
The three dot menu and right-click menu also include Move to.
Use this to move the Power-Up entry up or down for organizing.
Tags
Tags help organize Power-Ups.
The filter dropdown at the top of the Power-ups tab can show all Power-Ups or only Power-Ups with a selected tag.
Power-Up Variables
Power-Ups have variables that can be used in effects when a Power-Up is redeemed.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
$powerUpCost | Gets the Bit cost of the current Power-Up. |
$powerUpDescription | Gets the description of the current Power-Up. |
$powerUpImageUrl | Gets the image URL of the current Power-Up. |
$powerUpCost[powerUpName] | Gets the Bit cost of a specific Power-Up. |
$powerUpDescription[powerUpName] | Gets the description of a specific Power-Up. |
$powerUpImageUrl[powerUpName] | Gets the image URL of a specific Power-Up. |
When using a Power-Up name inside a variable, the name must match exactly.
