Alert
The Alert primitive is a ready-made on-screen alert. When a follow, subscription, cheer, gift or raid happens, it animates in, shows the message and image for that event, then animates out. Add it from Add Widget → Primitives → Alert.
The Alert ships as a self-contained unit: a text element and an image element, pre-wired to the alert's message and graphic. You add it, position it, choose how it animates, and it works.
Settings
The Alert primitive controls the look and motion of the alert:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Animation | How it enters and leaves — Fade, Slide (up/down/left/right), Zoom, Roll or Bloom. |
| Easing | The acceleration curve of the animation. |
| In / Out duration | How long the enter and exit animations take. |
| Hold | How long the alert stays on screen (it waits for any alert audio to finish, too). |
| Backdrop | An optional background colour behind the alert. |
What the alert says
The Alert widget is the presentation. What each alert says, which sound it plays, and the thresholds (e.g. a bigger alert for a larger cheer) are configured in your Alerts settings, not on the widget. The widget shows the message and image your alert configuration produces.
So the split is:
- Alerts settings → the message templates, sounds and variants.
- Alert widget → where it appears on the overlay and how it animates.
Pre-composed and locked
The Alert's text and image are pre-wired and locked, so you manage it as a single widget — you can't move or restyle the children individually. If you want to build the alert layout yourself — your own text, multiple images, extra decorations — use the Alert Group instead.
