OBS Websocket GD

A Godot addon to interact with obs-websocket. Tested on Godot 4.0.2.

Game/App Quickstart

  1. Install obs-websocket for your platform. Recent distributions of OBS should come with obs-websocket already included
  2. Configure obs-websocket in OBS and set the password to something of your choosing
  3. Clone this project
  4. Add the addons/obs-websocket-gd/obs_websocket.gd node to your scene
  5. By default, the addon tries to connect to localhost:4455 with a password of password. Change the password in addons/obs_websocket_gd/obs_websocket.gd to the password set in step 2. The variables are exported for convenience
  6. (OPTIONAL) Connect some listener to the data_received(update_data) signal in obs_websocket.gd. data_received outputs an ObsMessage data structure. This data structure stores the raw response and also maps the data to the expected OpCode fields.
  7. Call establish_connection() on the obs_websocket.gd node to connect to obs-websocket. The connection_established, connection_authenticated, and connection_closed signals are available to connect to
  8. Call the send_command(command: String, data: Dictionary = {}) method on the obs_websocket.gd instance. Reference the obs-websocket protocol to find out what commands + data to send.
