Add an option to add multiple users at once by typing "/raffle_assing omg, lol, test"

Re: [ANY] Raffle
 

Added this minus the comma. You can now put in multiple users like:

/raffle_assign user1 user2 user3

Re: [ANY] Raffle
 

Raffle for what?? Is this just virtual so i would like state I'm about to hold a raffle for X weapon!

If so, it would be cooler to do something like
sm_raffletime 60 //seconds a raffle is held for
sm_startraffle "Description of raffle"

then a player sees the text
Thraka is holding a raffle for [Description of raffle]
Type !raffle in chat to get a ticket...

Then the player would type !raffle (or maybe !ticket?) into chat
You have been assigned raffle ticket #21413

After 60 seconds passes one of the tickets is randomly drawn and everyone sees:
[Name] has won the raffle with ticket #21413!

The player sees
You have won the raffle! Contact [Name of admin starting raffle] for your prize!

Re: [ANY] Raffle
 

The way we've been using it (in tf2) is that everyone who wishes to join the raffle hands an admin one weapon, and they are assigned a raffle number. At the end, we run the raffle and whoever wins gets all items from the pot. Of course, since it works for any SM game currently I am not trying to make it specific to TF2, but such things could be added.

That said, I can see about adding something along the lines of /raffle_freeforall [time] [Description] which people could then join with /raffle_join

Is that sort of what you are asking for?

Re: [ANY] Raffle
 

Well, that would be nice.

Re: [ANY] Raffle
 

ahh gotcha, yah i like both styles really

Re: [ANY] Raffle
 

So does this add the player to the raffle after it shows in chat that an item has been traded/given to an admin for the "raffle pot" and then give them a ticket/number? OR does it allow them to just join?

Re: [ANY] Raffle
 

The admin has to use the /raffle_assign command to give a number to the person who gave them an item for the pot.

We've always done it where we give the number immediately after the trade, but I suppose you could do them all at once now. However, I do believe that doing them immediately following the trade better shows the admin's good intent on the raffle.

Re: [ANY] Raffle
 

One thing that would make it officinal I think is something like sm_raffleprep

This would post into chat in color
A new raffle is starting! Donate an item to [Admin Name] to be entered to win all donated items.

This way people cant hop on to the server and trick others into giving them items posing as an admin...
