A discord bot framework built using the Discordia API and Luvit runtime environment.

 

PLANNED FEATURES

 

This bot will relay a message to your discord server when the following events are fired:

Event	Announcement Description
Bot Load	The Bot has loaded successfully.
event_death	Killed by the server, Squashed by a vehicle, Run over by a vehicle, Betrayal, PVP, Suicide, Zombie-Infect, First blood, Guardians, Killed from the grave, Unknown death.
event_join	Player connected to the server.
event_quit	Player disconnected from the server.

[note] The bot will ignore commands containing sensitive information (namely passwords).

Two-way chat integration

You can send messages directly to the specified Halo server from discord (and visa versa):

Discord to Halo chat format:

• [discord] Chalwk: Hello, how are you?

Would it be possible to have a bot that only sends one message and keeps editing it? The message would contain the current map, gametype, player count, and maybe the list of players.

[Chalwk 70]

Definitely, yes. You'd want to rate-limit the output too. The Discord API (see this page) has a particular proclivity for forcing bots to disconnect from it if you send too much within a time frame.
Don't do what I tried to do and send too much at once! Ha-Ha. 

 

The great thing about the Discordia API is that you can do so much or so little; and if all you want to do is send a simple message every X-delta, then you can.
 

Project Update:

The bot will now feedback the name of the winning player (or team) on discord after each game (see example below).
