Building a Tipping Bot
This guide will walk you through the steps necessary to create a Highrise Tipping bot that allows room administrators to monitor, acknowledge, and provide insights into tipping activities within a Highrise room. This bot responds to tipping events, logs user tipping data, and offers commands to query and display this data. Special shoutout to our Highrise Builder @AprilCat for creating this bot!
Prerequisites:
- Python 3.11 or higher installed.
- Highrise Python SDK installed
- Make sure that an empty
tip-data.jsonfile exists in the same directory as your bot file. This file will be used to store tipping data in JSON format.
Step 1: Import Libraries and Constants
Before diving into the code, ensure you have the necessary libraries and constants ready.
from typing import Optional, Dict, Union
from json import load, dump
from highrise import BaseBot, User, CurrencyItem, Item, SessionMetadata
We also set a constant FILE_PATH that points to the path of the JSON data file.
FILE_PATH = "./tip-data.json"
Step 2: Define the TippingBot Class
Next, we'll define the main TippingBot class. During initialization, the bot loads existing tipping data and sets up some default properties. We’ve also defined the on_start handler to initialize some default ids.
class TippingBot(BaseBot):
def __init__(self):
self.bot_id = None
self.owner_id = None
self.tip_data: Dict[str, Dict[str, Union[str, int]]] = {}
self.load_tip_data()
async def on_start(self, session_metadata: SessionMetadata) -> None:
print("Bot Connected")
self.bot_id = session_metadata.user_id
self.owner_id = session_metadata.room_info.owner_id
Step 3: Handle Different Message Types
The bot is designed to handle three types of messages: chat, whisper, and direct messages.
async def on_chat(self, user: User, message: str) -> None:
await self.process_message(self.highrise.chat, message, user, "Chat Error")
async def on_whisper(self, user: User, message: str) -> None:
await self.process_message(
self.highrise.send_whisper, message, user, "Whisper Error", user.id
)
async def on_message(
self, user_id: str, conversation_id: str, is_new_conversation: bool
) -> None:
conversation = await self.highrise.get_messages(conversation_id)
message = conversation.messages[0].content
await self.process_message(
self.highrise.send_message, message, user_id=user_id, error_message="Message Error", conversation_id=conversation_id
)
Step 4: Process Messages
All message types are processed by a common method which triggers a command handler.
async def process_message(self, method, message: str, user=None, error_message: str = "", *args):
response = await self.command_handler(user.id if user else None, message)
if response:
try:
await method(response, *args)
except Exception as e:
print(f"{error_message}: {e}")
Step 5: Handle Tips
The bot listens for tips, logs/saves relevant data, and acknowledges generous contributions.
async def on_tip(self, sender: User, receiver: User, tip: Union[CurrencyItem, Item]) -> None:
if receiver.id != self.bot_id:
return
if isinstance(tip, CurrencyItem):
print(f"{sender.username} tipped {tip.amount}g -> {receiver.username}")
self.update_tip_data(sender, tip.amount)
if tip.amount >= 500:
await self.highrise.chat(f"Thank you {sender.username} for the generous {tip.amount}g tip!")
def update_tip_data(self, user: User, tip: int) -> None:
user_data = self.tip_data.get(user.id, {"total_tips": 0, "username": user.username})
user_data["total_tips"] += tip
user_data["username"] = user.username
self.tip_data[user.id] = user_data
self.save_tip_data()
Step 6: Command Handler
The command handler processes owner commands, such as viewing top tippers or querying a specific user's tip amount.
async def command_handler(self, user_id: Optional[str], message: str) -> Optional[str]:
if user_id != self.owner_id:
return None
command = message.lower().strip()
if command == "!top":
return self.build_top_tippers_message()
elif command.startswith("!get "):
username = command.split(" ", 1)[1].replace("@", "")
return self.get_user_tip_message(username)
Step 7: Utility Functions
Various utility functions help build messages, retrieve tip amounts, and manage the tipping data.
def build_top_tippers_message(self) -> str:
top_tippers = self.get_top_tippers()
formatted_tippers = [f"{i + 1}. {user_data['username']} ({user_data['total_tips']}g)" for i, user_data in enumerate(top_tippers)]
separator = "\n"
return f"Top Tippers:\n{separator.join(formatted_tippers)}"
def get_user_tip_message(self, username: str) -> str:
tip_amount = self.get_user_tip_amount(username)
if tip_amount is not None:
return f"{username} has tipped {tip_amount}g"
else:
return f"{username} hasn't tipped."
def get_top_tippers(self) -> list:
return sorted(self.tip_data.values(), key=lambda x: x["total_tips"], reverse=True)[:10]
def get_user_tip_amount(self, username: str) -> Optional[int]:
for user_data in self.tip_data.values():
if user_data["username"].lower() == username.lower():
return user_data["total_tips"]
Step 8: Data Management
The bot reads and writes tipping data to a local JSON file for persistence.
def load_tip_data(self) -> None:
try:
with open(FILE_PATH, "r") as file:
self.tip_data = load(file)
except FileNotFoundError:
self.tip_data = {}
def save_tip_data(self) -> None:
with open(FILE_PATH, "w") as file:
dump(self.tip_data, file)
Congratulations! You've now created a Tipping Bot for Highrise. This bot acknowledges generous tippers and provides a way for the room owner to view the top tippers or query the tipping history of specific users.
