  How it works

  There is two classes:

  • TextContent - updates text
  • Driver - interacts with obs properties and controls execution

  Interaction with obs happens on instance of Driver - std it will update source name, scirpted text, selected effect and more according to settings from UI. Hotkey handling via script_save and script_load with callback on std hotkey_hook. Note: this callback is also attached to PREVIEW button in settings. It will trigger obs_timer , set lock to False (to run single callback at time). obs_timer will execute ticker with interval aka refresh_rate. ticker will execute selected text effect from settings ,substract refresh_rate from duration , check if its <= 0,then reset everything to initial state,remove itself via obs.remove_current_callback.
  To create a text effect , this naming someefect_effect is required. Text effects use inherited method update_text to update text one tick at time.
