Twitch Chat is IRC

So just parse out the username from the incoming chat message and include that in your message that you send to chat.

Depends on what code you have currently.

I don’t know what lib you are using to parse chat or even if using a lib at all.

```javascript
const tmi = require('tmi.js');

const client = new tmi.Client({
	options: { debug: true },
	identity: {
		username: 'beebot_v1',
		password: 
	},
	channels: ['smobee_']
});

// Register our event handlers (defined below)
client.on('message', onMessageHandler);
client.on('connected', onConnectedHandler);

client.connect();

client.on('connected', (address, port) => {
	client.action('smobee_', 'BeeBot est connecté ! VoHiYo');
});

function onMessageHandler (target, context, msg, self) {
  if (self) { return; } // Ignore messages from the bot

  const commandName = msg.trim();

  if (commandName === '!hnum') {
    const num = rollDice();
    client.say(target, `ID USER as tiré un ${num} !`);
    console.log(`* Executed ${commandName} command`);
  } else {
    console.log(`* Commande inconnue ${commandName}`);
  }
}

function rollDice () {
  const sides = 6;
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * sides) + 1;
}

function onConnectedHandler (addr, port) {
  console.log(`* Connecté à ${addr}:${port}`);
}

```

ID USER it’s for id the user who used the command

I have revoked your leaked access token

**NEVER** post your oAuth token publically.

For TMI.js please refer to the TMI.js documentation

[https://tmijs.com/](https://tmijs.com/)

Which provides the following example

```auto

client.on('message', (channel, tags, message, self) => {
	// "Alca: Hello, World!"
	console.log(`${tags['display-name']}: ${message}`);
});

```

Use either

`tags.username`  
or  
`tags['display-name']}`

as needed

You use `context` in yours isntead of `tags`

So

```auto
function onMessageHandler (target, context, msg, self) {
  if (self) { return; } // Ignore messages from the bot

  const commandName = msg.trim();

  if (commandName === '!hnum') {
    const num = rollDice();
    client.say(target, `ID USER as tiré un ${num} !`);
    console.log(`* Executed ${commandName} command`);
  } else {
    console.log(`* Commande inconnue ${commandName}`);
  }
}

```

Change

```auto
function onMessageHandler (target, context, msg, self) {

```

to

```auto
function onMessageHandler (target, tags, msg, self) {

```
