Heph was originally one of the few people to use channel points in any more complex way

The original system that was in place was a website called “Better Points”

After an API breakage and raise in price, Heph looked towards other programs like Lioranboard for automation

This was about the time when other channels figured out how to do simple automation through Twitch's channel point API

Early 2022 Heph switched to Streamer.bot for automation and uses it currently

  (sub-actions)
  this channel point changes scene from “Main Scene” in OBS to scene named “Thinking About”
  before scene change, the main mixer input volume is lessened to 80% and a voice line is played “I should be listening to this but I can't stop thinking about…” then the scene changes
  after 15 seconds streamer.bot changes scene back to “Main Scene” then turns off all video sources
  
  the layers are (top to bottom)
  1) “Video” Group (2) “Brain Outline” image (3) “Camera” video capture (4) Thinking Background
  the video group contains all of the videos, streamer.bot chooses one at random to turn on
  this group is “masked” to the size, location and shape of the brain layer below it, the layer set to a lighter opacity
  the brain outline image is set to lighter opacity
  the camera capture is enlarged and offset lower
  thinking background is Windows 3D Maze Video
