Embedded Files
The warning message panel communicates with every graphic to display a warning message on the runner's feed. This is useful for warning viewers of upcoming content such as flashing lights, mature or disturbing content, or loud noises. The panel will automatically create a button for every runner, and multiple runner layouts have individual warning messages for each player (image 4).
Clicking the player warning button will turn the button green (image 2) and display the current warning on any live graphic. Pressing a green warning button will return it to grey, and collapse the warning message on the graphic. The state of any warning message will persist between graphic/dashboard refreshes.
There are two options in the stuk-node-cg config that add extra functionality to the warning message:
text
text
This determines the message that is displayed. If a single string is present in the config file, the warning message panel will display a label showing what that message is (image 1), and that message will display on the graphics when a warning button is clicked.
text can also be set to be an array of strings, meaning you can assign multiple warning messages. When set this way, the static label is instead replaced with dropdown list with each of the declared messages (image 3). Whichever message is selected from the list is what will be displayed when a warning button is clicked. Changing the drop down list whilst a message is being displayed won't change that message - the message only updates when it is first displayed. As a result, you can have different messages for different players.
allowEdit
allowEdit
This generates a text field in the panel, allowing you to write custom warning messages on the fly. If you have only one string declared in text then a RESET button will also be generated (image 5) - pressing this will revert the text field back to your declared message. If multiple pre-set messages are declared, you'll instead have the dropdown list (image 6) - selecting a message from the list will have it populate the custom message field.
Remember, you and your volunteers can enter anything into these boxes and it will show up on your stream. Enable this option with caution if you are working with volunteers, particularly those you don't know.
When only one warning message is declared in the config, the panel show that message in a static text field. Clicking a warning button will only ever display that message.
When multiple warnings are declared, a drop down lists each warning. Clicking a warning button will display the active list item.
Setting allowEdit to true will present an editable text field where you can enter any message to be displayed. If you have one preset warning message declared, clicking RESET will revert the text field back to that default message.
When the button is clicked it turns green to show the warning is active. Refreshing NodeCG will retain this colour. Refreshing the graphic will retain the warning message.
In multiplayer runs each player automatically receives their own warning message button. Changing the active list item will not change any warnings currently displayed.
When allowEdit is true and you have multiple pre-set warnings declared you get both fields. Selecting a preset message from the list will have it populate the WARNING MESSAGE: field. Clicking a warning button will display whatever text is currently in that field.
The warning message will appear across the top of the player's game feed - this is same on every layout.
In multiplayer runs, there is a separate warning message for each player. As the message only updates when a warning button is clicked, you can display different warnings for each player.
