Giveaway

giveaway is a core command found with Kdkbot. This command is the basis of starting and stopping a giveaway in a channel.

Syntax

giveaway <start> <keyword> | <pick> [n] | <stop> | <reset> | <add> <user> | <remove> <user>

Since the above can be a bit annoying to decipher, the syntax for each sub-command is as follows:

• giveaway start keyword
• giveaway pick [n]
• giveaway stop
• giveaway reset
• giveaway add user
• giveaway remove user

Start

giveaway start keyword is the way to start a giveaway in a channel. keyword is replaced by what the user wants to use for the entry word. This word can appear anywhere in a users message to enter the giveaway.

Pick [n]

giveaway pick n is the way to pick a winner from a giveaway. This command can be used while the giveaway is still active. If no number is supplied, it will pick 1 winner. If n is supplied then it will attempt to pick n winners for the giveaway. If n is larger than the number of entrants, it is instead all entrants who entered.

Note that if a giveaway isn't restarted then the winner(s) will still be in the list and may be picked again.

Stop

giveaway stop is the way to stop a giveaway in a channel. This will prevent further entrants from entering into the giveaway pool.

Reset

giveaway reset is used to reset the entrants from a giveaway if there is an active giveaway, in which users will have to re-enter. If it isn't active it will reset the keyword and the entrants list.
