Command Syntax

​
Slash Command

/giveaway duration:[amount][unit] winners:[number] prize:[text]
Duration Units:
  • m: minutes (e.g., 10m)
  • h: hours (e.g., 1h)
  • d: days (e.g., 7d)

​
Prefix Command

,giveaway <duration> <winners> <prize>
Prefix giveaways use reactions (🎉) for entries instead of buttons, ensuring compatibility with all message types.

​
Features & Logic

  • Winner Selection: Winners are chosen using a cryptographically secure random number generator to ensure fairness.
  • Entry Tracking: Members can only enter once. Veronica tracks participants by their Discord ID.
  • Dynamic Updates: The giveaway embed updates in real-time to show the remaining time and the number of entries.
  • Host Info: Every giveaway clearly displays the host (the user who ran the command) and a unique Giveaway ID for tracking.

​
Troubleshooting

Giveaways may end prematurely if the bot is restarted or if the host manually deletes the message.
If no members enter by the time the duration expires, Veronica will announce that the giveaway has expired without winners.
Ensure Veronica has Send Messages and Embed Links permissions in the giveaway channel.
Set a longer duration for high-value prizes to give more members a chance to participate!
