Check Broadcaster Variable
Runs on: Frontend (Chatbox) — only available in the Chatbox Flow Editor; runs inside the OBS browser source.
The Check Broadcaster Variable node compares a Streamer Variable — a channel-wide value — against a value, and forwards the message or event to Pass or Fail.
Numeric values are compared as numbers; everything else is compared as text. The exists and does not exist conditions test only whether the variable is set.
Inputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
event | any | The message or event from a chatbox trigger or an upstream check node. |
Outputs
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
pass | any | The message or event, forwarded if the condition is met. |
fail | any | The message or event, forwarded if the condition is not met. |
Configuration
- Variable: The name of the broadcaster variable to check.
- Condition: The comparison to apply — equals, not equals, greater than, less than, at least, at most, exists, or does not exist.
- Value: The value to compare against. Not used by the exists / does not exist conditions.
Example
Keep a broadcaster variable subathonActive. Set the condition to equals and the value to true, then route Pass to a celebratory chatbox variant — every chat message gets a festive look for the duration of your subathon.
