Minimum Requirements for Regression Games

Your bot must have an index.ts file with the following code:

import { RGBot } from "rg-bot";

export function configureBot(bot: RGBot) {
  // Bot logic here
}

This defines a configureBot function and exposes that function to Regression Games. Regression Games uses it as an entrypoint to your bot script, and passes a bot for you to interact with.

Here is an example of the configureBot function with some basic logic that will make your bot parrot back anything it sees in chat from other players.

export function configureBot(bot: RGBot) {

  // Every time a player says something in the game, 
  // do something with that player's username and their message
  bot.on('chat', (username: string, message: string) => {

    // If the username of the speaker is equal to the username of this bot, 
    // don't do anything else. This is because we don't want the bot to repeat 
    // something that it says itself, or else it will spam the chat and be 
    // kicked from the game!
    if (username === bot.username()) return

    // make the bot chat with the same message the other player sent
    bot.chat("This is what I heard: " + message)
  })
  
}
