Source Code (This is my first project ever in java, so I would appreciate any advice in

how to improve my coding very much)

Configuration:

In the configuration that is made when the plugin is run the first time, you don't get comments about the different options. Here you do!

Code:

#How many hours between every lottery drawing? Only whole numbers above 0 (like 1 or 2 or 3.... 24 or 25...)
hours: '24'
# The next execution option is really not to be touched. Its time in millisecs since 1. January 1970.
nextexec: 1300368259883
# Cost is the amount the buyer got to pay to buy a ticket. This applies both to iConomy coins and material. Only whole numbers. Negative numbers will probably work, but I don't see the point.
cost: '5'
#The material setting lets you choose which Material Value your users got to pay with, and get if they win. (its the "dec(imal)", value)
material: '266'
# If you want to use iConomy coins, set it to "true". If you want to choose your own material (block or item), set it to false.
useiConomy: 'false'
# If broadcastBuying is set to false, there will not be sent a message to every player when somebody buys a ticket.
broadcastBuying: 'true'
# welcomeMessage decides if there should be sent a message to the player on join about time until draw.
welcomeMessage: 'true'
#extraInPot just holds the amount of extra winnings in the pot has been added with /lottery addtopot
extraInPot: 0
#clearExtraInPot decides whether the plugin set extraInPot=0 after lottery draw, or if the same amount will stay until somebody changes it with /lottery addtopot <+/-> <amount>
clearExtraInPot: true
#netPayout is the percentage of the total pot that is being paid out to the winner. This can be as large as you wish, but not lower than 1 (one). 100 = 100%, which means the winner will get exactly as much as the players have paid in while buying tickets.
netPayout: 100
#maxTicketsEachUser sets the max amount of tickets each player can buy
maxTicketsEachUser: 1
#debug - This won't show up by itself, and there is really no reason for you to have this unless there is something wrong with your install of the plugin.
debug: false

Tutorial:


Video by @ValBGaming

PS: The /lottery claim command is used when you are using material and you win, since blocks/items can only be given to online players

Todo:

• A set number of tickets available, and let the user choose which one to buy. If nobody had the right ticket, add money to jackpot for next drawing. (low)
• Using configurable array of prize items instead of getting whats in the pot. (low)
• Show time left when it's 2 hours left, 1 hour left etc. Configurable. (low)
• Let admins give out free tickets. (normal)

 

in the config.yml

useiConomy: 'true'
cost: '1'

Okay, that clearly aint good. How did it get like that? Did you stop server and have it offline for a while? I will be gone for a while, so I will not be able to fix this until later. Until then, use /lottery draw if this happens again.

I hope its working now Must have been something wrong with dropbox.

 

So do I leave materials:
Blank if I use iconomy? Or just enter a random iTem id

 

The server just had a restart

i do /lottery draw it says "the lottery will be draw at once" never draws it. andd resets the negative number.

 

hey dude for items what if i want them to get paid in money..iconomy money what do i do?

can anyone answer me plox?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Is there any way to have a command to reset the lottery? When I loaded the plugin for the first time, it immediately started a 24 hour countdown. I prefer it to be a lot less personally but I have to wait for the draw to happen or do I just have to remove the plugin and the folder and redownload?

Edit: I saw the command /lottery draw was available but I have the right version, I'm using flatfile and CB 531 yet /lottery draw does nothing at all. Not even an error in console.

 

It should be in the settings you can set the hours as much as you want. Go into the properties or look around that area.

 

I know its there, I edited the config after it was loaded though so there was no command to stop it from being 24 hours regardless.

 

have you tried restarting it?

 

Yes, the command /lottery draw doesn't work for me. Unless you mean actually deleting the files and then redownloading that would be no.

 

/lottery draw doesnt work for me either. As stated above I thought you meant the time stuff

 

Yeah I edited my post because I saw the /lottery draw which would answer my question initially but since it doesn't work, I decided to wait for a reply.

 

yeah I still have the problem where it goes into negative seconds and lottery draw jsut makes the negatives start over.

 

Hi

I have broadcasting set to false but it still broadcasts when people buy a ticket. Thought you should know.

Also we have the lotto set for 72 hours but it always seems to show that it's going tobe a 24 hour lottery.

 

This still kicks ass

 

So, back from my little vacation now.

Thanks!

Are you a OP? The command will only work for OP's.

Thanks for the note, will check it out!

In the config, set "useiConomy: true" and they will pay with iConomy money and get iConomy money back if they win.

Does not matter, but if you leave it blank, it will probably reset back to the default value when you restart the server.

I will try to fix this! I don't know what the problem could be, but something is clearly wrong.

 

Can we have a "hi-roller' lottery?

My players want a secondary lottery for high rollers only.. Maybe we can have something like /lottery buyhigh or something

 

This would require a total rewriting of the code, so I don't think so for now. But I will add it to my todo and see what I can do.

 

What if i want to BUY a ticket using iConomy money, but the price is 1 diamond???
Is that possible?

 

I think a good idea would be to make it so you don't need iConomy, instead that if a player buys a ticket they need a certain item in your inventory (admin gets to chose). Than if they win they get givin an item (put in the inventory, also the admin gets to choose winning item)

 

Its on my todo, but I can't promise when it will be done. I got a lot to do privately at the moment.

This already exist, the only difference is that it's the same item for buying the ticket and winning. Just change:

Code:

useiConomy: 'false'

in the config.yml

 

Ah great! For now i'll have to do with "the winner takes all" but it would be fantastic to have a price "1 diamond"!

 

what's the status on this for the 602 RB?

 

Can you please see if you can also add BOSEconomy?

 

Are you sure you have single quotes around the 'false'? I can't reproduce the error. Please post your config file if this don't fix it use pastebin.com

Just checked it, and as far as I can see, its working smoothly. I've only checked windows, but doubt there should be any trouble with linux.

I'll add it to my todo.

 

Appreciate it!

 

@Erbros As a simple workaround you could change the plugin name to "HighLottery" or the like, and change the folder directory for "HighLottery".jar, and add "high" infront of every command so people would effectively have a high lottery with perhaps ~10minutes of work from you xD

 

Erbros: "onPluginEnable has been replaced with a new signature, (PluginEnableEvent)"

 

Is there a way to set the maximum number of tickets each user is allowed per drawing?

 

No, not as of now. Each user can only buy one ticket. I do have some plans with this plugin, but right now I am writing for an exam, and thus have no time for coding.

 

when i change the hours it does not change in the game jsut thought you should now thanks
