Templating

There are certain variables available in the strings with templating enabled:

• channel - Channel the message was sent to, only available for regular messages not events
• msg - The message object, used in functions, should not be sent to chat
• permitTimeout - Value of permit_timeout in seconds
• username - The username of the message author

Additionally there are some functions available in the templates:

• arg <idx> - Takes the message sent to the channel, splits by space and returns the Nth element
• counterValue <counter name> - Returns the current value of the counter which identifier was supplied
• fixUsername <username> - Ensures the username no longer contains the @ prefix
• group <idx> - Gets matching group specified by index from match_message regular expression
• recentGame <username> [fallback] - Returns the last played game name of the specified user (see shoutout example) or the fallback if the game could not be fetched. If no fallback was supplied the message will fail and not be sent.
• tag <tagname> - Takes the message sent to the channel, returns the value of the tag specified
