How to Use EHR Templates

Use the welcome tag.

welcome:Welcome {{PlayerName}}! Code is {{RoomCode}}.

Use the notification tag. The repeat timing comes from the auto-message settings.

• Enable Auto-Message toggles the feature on or off.
• The Auto-Message Is Sent Every X seconds controls how often it fires.

OnFirstMeeting:This is the first meeting. Crewmates, use the /myrole command to see your role info.
notification:{{PlayerCount}} players in lobby.

That example sends one first-meeting reminder and one repeating lobby notification.

Use OnMeeting for every meeting, or OnFirstMeeting for only the first one.

OnFirstMeeting:This is the first meeting. Use /myrole if you need your role info.
OnMeeting[meeting=2]:Second meeting. Start narrowing it down.

Make your own tag name, then trigger it with /template [tagname].

rules:Please read the lobby rules before joining voice.

To send it, run /template rules or /t rules.

Add delay=N, where N is 1-30 seconds. Delayed messages always send.

welcome:This sends right away.
welcome[delay=5]:This sends 5 seconds later.
welcome[delay=15]:This sends 15 seconds later.

Use the same tag more than once. Add weight=N if one should show more often.

motd[weight=8]:Remember to vote every meeting.
motd[weight=2]:Rare tip: check who is avoiding tasks.

Weights can be 1-10. Higher weight means that entry gets picked more often.

Use map=X. Separate multiple maps with |.

Valid map values are Skeld, MiraHQ, Polus, Airship, Fungle, and Dleks.

mapinfo[map=Skeld]:You are on Skeld!
mapinfo[map=Polus|Fungle]:You are on Polus or Fungle.

Use role for in-game roles or rank for Host, Admin, Mod, Moderator, or VIP.

strategy[role=Jester]:Act suspicious, but survive long enough.
strategy[role=!Impostor]:You are not an Impostor. Work together and find them.
strategy:A generic tip for anyone else.

access[rank=Mod|Admin|Host]:Welcome, prestigious member!

You can add a fallback template with no role or rank condition for everyone else.

Use players, preset, or meeting.

Player count supports >, >=, <, <=, =, and !=.

lobbysize[players>=15]:Big lobby! Starting soon.
lobbysize[players<6]:Still waiting for more players to join.
welcome[preset=2|3]:This message appears on Preset 2 or 3.
OnMeeting[meeting=3|4]:Meeting 3 or 4. Time is running out.

Use hidden. The tag will not show in the /template listing, but it can still trigger.

ping[hidden]:Just an unfinished hidden message.

Regex, short for regular expression, is a compact way to describe text you want to find. Instead of checking one exact sentence, you can check a pattern such as "starts with !rules", "contains body", or "has any number in it."

For EHR templates, the pattern goes inside regex="...". When someone sends chat, EHR tests that chat against the pattern. If it matches, the template sends.

rules[regex="^!rules$"]:Please read the lobby rules before the game starts.

Start with normal words, then add symbols only when you need them.

EHR reads every template with a regex property, compiles that pattern, then checks incoming chat with it. If the pattern matches and any other bracket rules also pass, EHR sends the template.

help[regex="^!help$"]:Available commands: !rules, !discord, !settings

discord[regex="^!discord$"]:Join the Discord: discord.gg/maul

bodyhelp[regex="\\b(body|report|dead)\\b"]:
If you found a body, say where it was and who was nearby.

In practice, a player typing !discord triggers the Discord line. A player typing where was body? triggers the body help line.

If you want the simplest autoresponder, make the word people type the regex and make the text after the colon the answer.

discord[regex="^discord$"]:discordlink

That means: if someone says exactly discord, EHR replies with discordlink. Replace discordlink with the real invite when you are ready.

Regex can sit next to other bracket rules. Separate properties with commas. This example only responds to !settings on Preset 2 or 3.

settings[regex="^!settings$", preset=2|3]:
Current setup: {{Map}} | {{PlayerCount}} players | Preset {{Preset}}

You can also hide regex-triggered templates so they do not appear in the manual /template list.

rules[regex="^!rules$", hidden]:
No slurs, no teaming, no stream sniping, and keep meetings readable.

• Use quotes around the regex value: regex="^!rules$".
• Double backslashes in regex shortcuts: write \\d+, not \d+.
• Use ^ and $ for commands so random sentences do not trigger them.
• Use | for "or", such as body|report|dead.
• Keep broad patterns like .* rare because they match almost everything.

Put the variable on its own line, then use it later with @name.

@discord = discord.gg/ehr
@session = {{Date}} | {{Time}}
@lobby = {{Map}} | {{PlayerCount}} players | Code: {{RoomCode}}

welcome:
@lobby
Join our server at @discord!

Placeholders inside variables are filled when the message sends.

• Do not define variables in the middle of a message.
• Do not put comments at the end of a template line.
• Start comments on their own line with #. Comment lines are ignored entirely.
• If a variable is not defined, it stays as-is in the final message.

# This is a comment
welcome: Greetings!

@discord = discord.gg/ehr
@lobby = {{Map}} | {{PlayerCount}} players | Code: {{RoomCode}}

welcome:
Welcome {{PlayerName}}!
@lobby
Join our server at @discord!

OnFirstMeeting:
This is the first meeting.
Use /myrole if you need your role info.
Remember to vote before time runs out.

lobbysize[players>=15]:
Big lobby! Starting soon.
Please stay in lobby and avoid spam joining.

mapinfo[map=Polus|Fungle]:
This map has a lot of space.
Pay attention to where bodies are found and who was nearby.

rules[regex="^!rules$", hidden]:
Rules: no slurs, no teaming, no stream sniping, and keep meetings readable.

discord[regex="^!discord$", hidden]:
Join the lobby Discord: discord.gg/maul

Players can type !rules or !discord in chat and EHR will answer automatically.

discord[regex="^discord$", hidden]:discord.gg/maul

This version answers when someone types discord without the exclamation mark.
