Dynamic Source Positioning OBS studio

[Bigbeng]

Hey folks,

i'm using OBS studio together with streamer.bot for a long time now and created a large variety of OBS sources with little stickers/gifs/vids, which are triggered by chat commands (e.g. !banana).

As of now, each source is located on a fixed position within one OBS scene. So therefore it's shown on the same spot every time the command is typed.

Is there a chance to have a more dynamic setup in regards to positioning for each OBS media source?

I'm thinking of something like a script/method/plugin which has x and y coordinates to move the OBS source to a different location every time the script is executed (similar to what can be done by manually editing transform>edit transform.. Position value).

Thanks for your help, since i've not been able to finally solve this topic until now.

BR, Bigbeng

Hey Bigbeng,

I was able to achieve exactly that with streamer.bot and some simple logic. Basically, I created a random variable for the x axis and a random variable for the y axis that was then given to the source position in streamer.bot. It's important to give your x and y axises a min and max limit though, to insure that the image/gif doesn't appear halfway outside your canvas.

Hope this helps

BR, Angel

Here is how the command looks more or less. I've also parametrized it so it's easier to adapt.
