Listen Tags

Listen tags are tags that can receive shouts and whispers from other bots and actions that happen from the user. To create a listen tag, you make a normal tag and enter a "@" as the first character of the tag's value.

Each listen tag has some predefined variables that can be used. You can read about those here.

Whisper Tags

@onSetupApp

A whisper that is sent when a custom app has been setup. Called when os.registerApp(appId, bot) has completed its work.

* See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLDocument
*/
document: Document
};

@onBotAdded

A whisper that is sent when the bot is added to the local inst.

Unlike @onCreate, this listen tag is triggered whenever the bot as been added to the current device's inst, even if the bot has already been created. An example of this happening is when you first load an inst. Even though all the bots have already been created, they still need to be added to the inst in order for you to interact with them.

Note that this listen tag is triggered after executing scripts have finished running. This means that if a script creates multiple bots, @onBotAdded will be triggered after all the bots have been created. This is in contrast to @onCreate which is triggered immediately after the bot has been created.

Also note that this listen tag can be triggered before @onInstJoined. This means that it is possible for bots in other spaces to not be available when this listener is triggered.

There is no that argument for this listen tag.

@onBotChanged

A whisper that is sent when a tag on the bot is updated.

This listen tag is triggered whenever the bot has been updated in the current device's inst, even if the bot was not updated locally. An example of this happening is when another player changes a tag in the sheet portal. Even though the change was made on their device, it will show up on the current device.

Note that this listen tag is triggered after executing scripts have finished running. This means that if a script updates the same tag multiple times, @onBotChanged will still only be triggered once. This is in contrast to @onCreate which is triggered immediately after the bot has been created.

Also note that this listen tag can be triggered before @onInstJoined. This means that it is possible for bots in other spaces to not be available when this listener is triggered.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The list of tags that were changed on the bot.
*/
tags: string[]
};

@[groupName][stateName]OnEnter

A whisper that is sent whenever the [groupName] tag is set to [stateName] via the changeState(bot, stateName, groupName?) function.

*/
from: string,

/**
* The stateName that the bot is going to.
*/
to: string,
};

@[groupName][stateName]OnExit

A whisper that is sent whenever the [groupName] tag is changed from [stateName] via the changeState(bot, stateName, groupName?) function.

@onMeetLoaded

A shout that is sent when the meet portal finishes loading. Note that when this shout is sent, the user may not actually be in the meeting. They simply be in the meeting waiting area and not actually in the meeting. If you want notification when the user has become a participant in a meeting, use @onMeetEntered.

It is safe to run os.meetCommand(command, ...args) after this shout has been received.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The name of the room that the meet is loaded for.
*/
roomName: string;
}

@onMeetLeave

A shout that is sent when the meet portal is closed.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The name of the room that was left.
*/
roomName: string;
}

@onMeetEntered

A shout that is sent when the user enters a meet portal meeting. Unlike @onMeetLoaded, this listener is triggered only when the user becomes an active participant in a meeting. That is, after they've clicked the "join" button to enter the meeting.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The name of the room that the user joined.
* Note that this may be different from the meetPortal since a meeting can contain several breakout rooms.
*/
roomName: string;

/**
* The ID of the participant that was created for the user.
*/
participantId: string;

/**
* Whether the room that the user has joined is a breakout room.
*/
isBreakoutRoom: boolean;
};

@onMeetExited

A shout that is sent when the user exits a meet portal meeting. Unlike @onMeetLeave, this listener may be triggered if the user exits a breakout room and re-enters the main meeting room.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The name of the room that the user exited.
*/
roomName: string;
};

@onMeetRecordingLinkAvailable

/**
* The name of the message.
*/
name: string,

/**
* The argument that was included in the message.
*/
that: any,

/**
* The ID of the remote device that sent the message.
*/
remoteId: string
};

Examples:

  1. Show a toast when a "custom" message is received.
if (that.name === "custom") {
os.toast("Got message from " + that.remoteId + " with " + that.that);
}
  1. Send a message back to the remote that sent the message.
if (that.name === "hello") {
sendRemoteData(that.remoteId, "hi");
}

@onRemoteJoined

A shout that is run on every other remote device when it joins the current server.

Since this shout is run on every device, you should be careful about performing duplicate actions. When in doubt, elect a remote to perform all actions that should only be executed once. See example 2 below.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The ID of the remote that joined the server.
*/
remoteId: string
};

Examples:

  1. Show a toast when a remote joins.
os.toast("Remote joined: " + that.remoteId);

@onRemoteLeave

A shout that is run on every other remote device when it leaves the current server.

Since this shout is run on every device, you should be careful about performing duplicate actions. When in doubt, elect a remote to perform all actions that should only be executed once. See example 2 below.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The ID of the remote that left the server.
*/
remoteId: string
};

Examples:

  1. Show a toast when a player leaves.
os.toast("Remote joined: " + that.remoteId);

@onAnyBotsAdded

A shout that is sent when a list of bots is added to the current server.

Unlike @onAnyCreate, this listen tag is triggered whenever the bots have been added to the current device's server, even if the bots have already been created. An example of this happening is when you first load a server. Even though all the bots have already been created, they still need to be added to the server in order for you to interact with them.

Note that this listen tag is triggered after executing scripts have finished running. This means that if a script updates the same tag multiple times, @onAnyBotsAdded will still only be triggered once. This is in contrast to @onCreate which is triggered immediately after the bot has been created.

Also note that this listen tag can be triggered before @onInstJoined. This means that it is possible for bots in other spaces to not be available when this listener is triggered.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The array of bots that were added to the server.
*/
bots: Bot[];
};

@onAnyBotsRemoved

A shout that is sent when a list of bots is removed from the current server.

Unlike @onDestroy, this listen tag is triggered whenever the bots have been removed from the current device's server, even if the bots were not destroyed. An example of this happening is when another player disconnects. Even though their config bots were not destroyed, they still need to be removed from the server.

Note that this listen tag is triggered after executing scripts have finished running. This means that if a script updates the same tag multiple times, @onAnyBotsRemoved will still only be triggered once. This is in contrast to @onCreate which is triggered immediately after the bot has been created.

Also note that this listen tag can be triggered before @onInstJoined. This means that it is possible for bots in other spaces to not be available when this listener is triggered.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The array of bot IDs that were removed from the server.
*/
botIDs: string[];
};

@onAnyBotsChanged

A shout that is sent when one or more tags are changed on a list of bots in the current server.

This listen tag is triggered whenever the bots have been updated in the current device's server, even if the bots were not updated locally. An example of this happening is when another player changes a tag in the sheet portal. Even though the change was made on their device, it will show up on the current device.

Note that this listen tag is triggered after executing scripts have finished running. This means that if a script updates the same tag multiple times, @onAnyBotsChanged will still only be triggered once. This is in contrast to @onCreate which is triggered immediately after the bot has been created.

Also note that this listen tag can be triggered before @onInstJoined. This means that it is possible for bots in other spaces to not be available when this listener is triggered.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The bot that was updated.
*/
bot: Bot,

/**
* The list of tags that were changed on the bot.
*/
tags: string[]
}[];

@onError

A shout that is sent when an unhandled error occurs in a listen tag. Errors can occur for many reasons, but common ones include data being unexpectedly missing (e.g. "Cannot read property xyz of undefined") or invalid usage (e.g. "xyz is not a function").

Note that errors which occur in a @onError listen tag will not trigger further onError calls. To view those errors, open the developer tools console.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The bot that the error originated from.
*/
bot: Bot,

/**
* The tag that the error originated from.
*/
tag: string,

/**
* The error that occurred.
*/
error: Error
}

*/
animation: string | number;
};

@onAnyFormAnimationLooped

Arguments:

let that: null;

@onSpaceMaxSizeReached

A shout that is sent to all bots when a space rejects persistent storage of one or more bot changes due to exceeding the storage limits of the space.

There are a several consequences to this:

  • Some bot/tag changes were not persistently stored in the space.
  • Those same bot/tag changes will still be available on the machine that the change was created on, as long as the browser tab has not been reloaded.
  • Future changes to that space may or may not be persisted, depending on whether the individual changes would cause the space to exceed its storage limit. As a result, large changes are more likely to be rejected than small changes.

As such, if this shout occurs in an inst that you are working in, it is highly recommended to make a manual backup so that you don't loose any data.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The space that rejected some changes due to storage limits.
* Generally, this is the "shared" space.
*/
space: string;

/**
* The storage limit for the space. Represented in bytes.
*/
maxSizeInBytes: number;

/**
* The number of bytes that the storage limit would need to be in order to accept the changes.
*/
neededSizeInBytes: number;
};

@onSpaceRateLimitExceeded

A shout that is sent to all bots when a space rejects a change because it would exceed the rate limit for the space.

Rate limits are used to prevent too many changes at one time from overloading the system, and they only apply to the shared space.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The space that rejected some changes/messages due to rate limits.
*/
space: string;
}

@onCollaborationEnabled

A shout that is sent to all bots when collaboration becomes enabled for the current inst.

@onAllowCollaborationUpgrade

A shout that is sent to all bots when os.enableCollaboration() is able to be called.

@onDisallowCollaborationUpgrade

A shout that is sent to all bots when os.enableCollaboration() is no longer able to be called.

@onResolveModule

A shout that is sent to all bots when a module is being resolved. Used to resolve statements like import { foo } from 'myCustomModule'.

In the case that multiple bots are listening for this shout, the first bot to resolve a non-null value will be used. If none of the bots return a valid value, then the default mechanism for resolving modules will be used.

The default mechanism for resolving modules is as follows:

  • Scripts based on system tag. You can import exported functions and variables from any script based on the system tag of its bot. For example, import {abc} from "example.system.tag" can be used to import the abc variable or function from the bot with the example.system system and the tag tag.
  • URLs. The URLs can be imported. For example, import { sortBy } from 'https://esm.run/lodash-es';" imports the sortBy function from the lodash-es module provided by https://esm.run.

Arguments:

let that: {
/**
* The module that is being imported.
*/
module: string;

/**
* The metadata for the import.
*/
meta: {
/**
* The ID of the bot that is importing this module.
*/
botId?: string;

/**
* The ID of the space that is importing this module.
*/
tag?: string;
}
};

Should return an object with the following form:

/**
* The type that should be returned.
* It can be one of four different types:
* - An object that references the bot and a tag that the module is defined in.
* - An object that contains a set of exports.
* - A string that contains the source code of the module.
* - A string that contains the URL that the module can be accessed at.
*/
type ResolvedBotModule =
| IdentifiedBotModule
| ExportsBotModule
| string;

/**
* The type of object that should be returned if the module is attached to a script tag on a bot.
*/
interface IdentifiedBotModule {
/**
* The ID of the bot.
*/
botId: string;

/**
* The tag that the module is defined in.
*/
tag: string;
}

/**
* The type of object that should be returned if the module is a set of exports.
*/
interface ExportsBotModule {
/**
* The exports of the module.
*/
[key: string]: any;
}

Examples:

Return a module that is defined on a bot.
if (that.module === 'myCustomModule') {
return {
botId: "abc-123",
tag: "myModule"
};
}
Return a set of exports for the module
if (that.module === 'myCustomModule') {
return {
exports: {
num: 123,
myFunc: () => os.toast('hello from myFunc()')
}
};
}
Return the source code of the module
if (that.module === 'myCustomModule') {
return `
export const num = 123;
export function myFunc() {
os.toast('hello from myFunc()');
}
`;
}
Return the URL of the module
if (that.module === 'myCustomModule') {
return 'https://example.com/myCustomModule.js';
}
