In the folder that you've downloaded via this repository, find the TwitchPlaysMax.maxproj file and open it in Max. Simply copy everything down-and-to-the-right of the original route object, and connect the input of your new route copy to the output of the node.script object. Furthermore, you can add additional route objects to monitor multipler parameters at once. If you edit the M4L device, you can change the route parameter object to look for messages that start with any arbitrary key. The value from these messages (the numbers) will control whatever device parameter you selected in step 10. By default this device is listening for messages that read "parameter 0.5" or "parameter 1". You should now be receiving messages from Twitch. You'll need to do this every time you re-open your project. Using the drop-down menus, choose the device and parameter you wish to control via Twitch.Ĭlick the message that says script start.
