Lottery Plugin

Requires Plugin: lottery

Note: Lottery will work across syncouts/syncrooms and persist through bot restarts.

Users: Participating in a Lottery

You can draw things in a lottery using the /me prefix:

/me draw[s] [a|an] <thing>

• Bot will get a random from a box.
• The box must be "prepared" first (see Bot Commands below).
• Used for user lotteries
• draw-ing without a <thing> will always fetch an item from the default lottery/box (if its prepared). To draw from another box, <thing> must be supplied.
• Bot keeps tracks of people who have already participated in the draw.
  • Trying to draw again will make the bot remind you of your previous results.

Admins: Preparing a Lottery

Administrators can ready a lottery for users to draw from using the following command:

/bot prepare [<things>] <listdef>

• Bot prepares a list of <things> and puts them in a virtual box for lottery drawings.
  • If <things> is not supplied, then "default" will be used.
• <listdef> can be:
  • comma-separated list of values (no spaces!) e.g. abc,ghi,xyz
  • range of numbers e.g. 50-100
  • "numberTokens" e.g. 9long1short
• Each user must issue /me draws (or similar) to get a random item from the box. Note: /me draw always draws from "default" if available; to draw from another box, /me draw [a|an] <thing>
