Edge Animate Sub alert sometimes doesn't trigger

You should really write a real IRC and IRCv3 tags parser that splits messages based on the protocol.

For example you have this to check for a resub message:
if (message.indexOf('user-type= :tmi.twitch.tv USERNOTICE') >= 0) {

What if the user-type tag isn’t empty? What is there is another tag added behind it or the order of the tags is different? What if a user simply sends a regular chat message that contains that string? Sure, that last one is unlikely, but it can still happen. The issue with doing it like this is that it can break really easily.

The same applies for how you read the tags. It is not guaranteed that for example login will always stay the 5th tag. It is also mentioned in the IRCv3 tags spec that the order of tags must not matter.

Writing a very basic IRC parser isn’t hard, or maybe there even are libraries for that already you can use. Is that JavaScript?

Literally just as you commented, I found the problem all this time… I never clicked on that it was ONLY moderators that it wasn’t working for. Now I see it.

And yes, it’s Javascript. I don’t know how I’d install npm packages to an Edge Animate project running on an Apache2 server, but yes I agree it’s a bad way of working it.

Thanks for the reply!
