+## how 2 twitchery:
+
+1. import the script, add this thing to a scene
+1. it will add a group and an image source for all the events it wants to show a reaction to in that group, and a text control for text. 
+1. you can replace any source you like with any type, this will check by name at the last moment.
+1. set the settings you like on your sources. Which sounds like a nightmare? but you want to pick your individual media per thing, so eh.
+1. when the setting "event to show right now" is set, it will cut it and do its thing - so if you're triggering twitch stuff via obs-websocket or whatever, just set this text.
