M4 draw

[Mooface]

There shouldve been a benifit to actually getting the golden m4. The m4 is gold it shouldnt rust. #eralogic

[LordFreak]

can anyone tell me the names of the winners? i only know Flake and Eric Rage

[LordFreak]

yes 1 name each 5 seconds is kinda unfair if it was each 1 or 2 seconds you may have 2 chances on the draw

[snk]

Just a few things...//ENTER GEEK MODE

The names that appeared in the display were random. It loaded the entire list of possible entries

temp.player = randomstring(this.db.vip_raffle);

Every time it was time to select a new person (every 5 seconds) it would use this function. As you can see, it's not in any specific order, if your name appeared more than once in the 60 minutes then you're lucky. There's no logic behind it, it's entirely random.

After each winner is drawn, it then keeps on that winner for 60 seconds and starts a new round. This is repeated till there are 10 winners. After 10 winners, the script destroys itself. (No way could I be on for 10 hours straight #life)
The winner is then removed from the list of other players.

        //Remove the player from the list
      DB_VIP_Raffle.vip_raffle.remove(temp.player);     
      
        //Load it again (we shouldn't have to, but why not) 
      this.db = ("DB_VIP_Raffle").link(); 

And this process is repeated.

Here are the winners if you're interested

Sorry if you didn't win, but we're probably going to do this again. I assure you, it wasn't rigged.

Here's the full code (I removed the item stuff)

function onCreated() {
  this.setShape(1, 192, 80); 
  this.image = "era_luckdrawsign.png";
  
    //Total winners
  this.maxWinners = 10;
}

function onActionGrab() {
  if (player.account != "xAndrewx") return;

    //Start the game
  if (player.chat == "start") {
      //Drawing is reset
    this.drawing = 0;
      
      //Load the variables
    this.db = ("DB_VIP_Raffle").link();  
      //this.db.player_accounts
      //this.db.outfit_[account]
    
    this.drawing = 3600;
    
    setTimer(1);
  }
}
  
function onTimeout() {

    //Winner check
  if (this.winners > this.maxWinners) {
    this.destroy();
    return;
  }

    //For loading if it' doesn't exist
  if (this.db.vip_raffle == null) {
    this.db = ("DB_VIP_Raffle").link();      
  }
  

    //Choose a player
  temp.player = randomstring(this.db.vip_raffle);
  temp.outfit = this.db.("outfit_" @ temp.player);
  
    //If it's drawing a winner
  temp.winner = false;
  
    //Check if the admin have said so
  if (this.drawing > 0) {
    this.drawing -= 5;
    
      //Nice time
    if (this.drawing <= 60) 
      temp.time = int(this.drawing) SPC "seconds";
    else
      temp.time = int(this.drawing / 60) SPC "minutes";
    
    this.chat = "VIP Golden M4 Drawing in" SPC temp.time;
    
      //Do we have a winner?
    if (this.drawing <= 0) {
    
        //Show the winner
      this.chat = "The winner is..." SPC temp.outfit[2];

        //Notify the player
      temp.pl = findplayer(temp.player);
      if (temp.pl != null) {
        temp.pl.sendMessageBox(_("You've won the VIP M4!!"));
      }
      
        //Reset the timer

    }

  showani(1, this.x + 0.5, this.y + 2, 2, "era_spar-fullhead", temp.outfit[0], temp.outfit[1]);

    //No winner? or a winner!
  if (temp.winner == false)
    setTimer(5);
