Blocking /me with a bot

[dybydx_rs]

Is this possible, if so how?

[JB940]

Hey dyby.
Yes this is possible.

A message that uses the /me function of Twitch looks like:

:jb940!jb940@jb940.tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #CHANNEL :
ACTION banana

Image of how it looks

As seen in the image, there are 2 extra characters there. I do not know what these are, but you could just look for a message starting with ACTION

[matt_thomas]

msg #channel %ACTION You have to put a username after !streamer ya dip % }

The %'s are just placeholders in this, they are actually

ASCII character 1, also known as a “SOH” (start of heading).

I can’t print one here, I tried.

But, yeah! you can block/filter on that character.

:user!user@user.tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #channel :ACTION message

The trailing part is surrounded by characters with byte value 01, as Matt said. It can usually be matched with \x01 or \u0001 in programming languages.
