Trigger Hotkey and Text messages from a Javascript plugin?

[jamesmandrews]

I play GTAV RP on NoPixel's public server. As part of their development they have created a list of 500 animations players can use to create emotion in game. I have 100+ of these I want to setup as buttons for the stream deck, which is a tedious process. Currently I have a multi-action setup for a few. The multi action is comprised of a hotkey to trigger the emote dialog box. a delay, a text trigger to send the emote, another delay, and then another hotkey to trigger submission. it works well. What I would like to do is create a plugin that instead has this functionality in it, and a select box with a list of all the emote actions listed, so players can drag to button and select the emotion they want to link to the button. However, I can't for the life of me figure out if I can call hotkey or text system calls from a Javascript based plugin using websockets and if I can, how I would do it. Could someone please help, and maybe offer me a pathway to build this?

Hi @jamesmandrews

Apologies that this went unanswered for so long! My recommendation would be to build a Node.js addon using something like C++ or Rust. This can be accomplished using the N-API, which allows you to call native code from javascript in a Node.js Stream Deck plugin.
