This script example listens to all chat messages and if the message is from the broadcaster or a moderator and starts with !dc it either increases and decreases the counter and then writes the counter to a specific file.

import com.squiso.datatypes.SquisoInteger;
import com.squiso.datatypes.SquisoString;
import com.squiso.exception.SquisoException;
import com.squiso.scripting.API;
import com.squiso.scripting.Script;
import com.squiso.scripting.data.OnTwitchChatMessageData;

public class Example_TwitchChatDeathCounter extends Script {

    SquisoInteger deathCounter = new SquisoInteger(0);

    @Override
    public void onTwitchChatMessage(OnTwitchChatMessageData data, API api) throws SquisoException {

        // If the user is NOT the broadcaster and is NOT a moderator
        // End here with a return
        if (!data.isUserBroadcaster() && !data.isUserModerator()) {
            return;
        }

        // If the message is "!dc"
        if (data.getMessageText().equals("!dc")) {
            // Increase the counter
            deathCounter.increment();
        }

        // If the message is "!dc up"
        if (data.getMessageText().equals("!dc up")) {
            // Increase the counter
            deathCounter.increment();
        }

        // If the message is "!dc down"
        if (data.getMessageText().equals("!dc down")) {
            // Decrease the counter
            deathCounter.decrement();
        }

        // Compose what should be in the file
        SquisoString contents = new SquisoString("Deaths: " + deathCounter);

        // Write the file
        contents.writeToFile("death_counter.txt");

    }
