The End Credits Overlay Widget allows you to display a rolling credits for participation in your stream. As users interact with your stream, information about them and their interactions will automatically be cataloged by the End Credits Overlay Widget based on the different sections you have configured.
In the event a user is banned from your channel, all information stored for that user in the End Credits Overlay Widget will be automatically purged so as to not include them when the credits are shown.
Data for the End Credits is stored inside the End Credits Overlay Widget itself. This means that data is only tracked while an End Credits Overlay Widget exists. For example, if you were to do an entire stream and then create an End Credits Overlay Widget after your stream ended, it would have no data from the stream you just ran. Additionally, the data stored for the credits is wiped each time you re-save the widget. So making any edits will to the widget will remove any data it was tracking previously while Mix It Up was running.
The previous version of the End Credits Overlay Widget used the on/off state to determine whether the credits should be shown or not, with the Overlay Widget continuously gathering information from your stream regardless of whether it was on or off. The new version of the End Credits Overlay Widget no longer works this way and instead aligns closer to how all other Overlay Widgets work. The End Credits Overlay Widget will only capture information from your stream while it is enabled. For information on how to show the credits sequence, please see the "Showing The Credits Sequence" below.
End Credits now have two options for how they can be triggered:
Sections are specific areas of your End Credits that will show specific users or content based on it's type. Each section has a name that will be displayed above contents of it and an item template, which defines how a single item should be shown in the end credits listing. The default value for each section's item template will show you the basic properties you can use, but Special Identifiers can also be included in here and will use the corresponding info for that user (EX: $username will show the name of the user for that specific item in the section).
You can additionally specify the number of columns that will be shown in a section. This can be useful if a section will have lots of data in it, but you want to reduce the amount of vertical space it takes up in the entire credits sequence. For example, setting the Columns value to 3 will put all the items of a section in 3 equally spaced columns and thus cut the vertical size of the section down by a 1/3.
Below are the list of supported section types and a description of what each will contain:
Custom sections allow you to build dynamic sections to your End Credits that you control via Overlay Actions with the Add To End Credits option.
Custom sections are particularly useful for when you have something that falls outside of traditional sections, but you want to show it within your End Credits. For example, you may have a super special Twitch Channel Point Reward which costs 1 million channel points to redeem. If a user redeems it, you want to show their name in a dedicated section on your End Credits Overlay Widget. Using a Custom Section, you can have your Twitch Channel Point Reward Command add that user that redeems it to that section using the "Add To End Credits" option on the Overlay Action.
