Description
Chat trigger auto-response addon for World of Warcraft. Define trigger words prefixed with ! and Hooter will automatically reply with a random response from your configured list when someone uses one in chat.
Hooter listens to party, raid, guild, whisper, and instance chat for messages containing !triggers. When a match is found, it picks a random response from that trigger's list and sends it back to the same channel after a configurable delay. A per-trigger cooldown prevents spam.
- Triggers and responses are stored account-wide (shared across characters)
- Scanning can be toggled per-character
- Configs are shareable via compressed export/import strings
