Draw me! Raffle system

Script version: 0.1
Last update: 29/06/2022

“Draw me!” is a tool to create and manage Raffles for your shop/brand, for your events or for whatever other reason you may find to randomly distribute what you want to one of your customers
This is a fully operational tool that links Second Life™ with an external platform, accessible via your in-world name and a password that can be retrieved from the Virtualty Office using the Manage Me! Password recovery terminal(http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Falcata/70/154/26)

Basic elements

The tool is made of two elements:

  • DrawMe! Owner Terminal - The Owner Terminal that will be used to create the new Raffles and to extract the winner
  • DrawMe! Raffle Script - The actual Raffle element. This is just a simple box, because you can decide to put the scripts that are inside it in another object and use it as a Raffle element

Plus of course the Management website, that can be reached at
https://manageme.virtualty.space/users/login.php

Let's start

The concept of this tool is to make as simple as possible to create and manage raffles.
First and foremost, rez the Owner Terminal, and reset the scripts (I know, annoying, I will fix it in the next release)
You will be asked to allow to access your L$. This is of course to pay the fee for the raffles.
Once you have done this, you are ready to start working with the Raffle.
Clicking on the Owner Terminal a menu will show up: And from this menu you will be allowed to select one of the following options:

  • List Raffles - Shows you the raffles you may have as active and inactive
  • New Raffle - Creates a new raffle (ATTENTION This is the moment you will be billed)
  • Activate Raffle - After creating a raffle, and having defined all the parameters and characteristic of the raffle, you will select this button to actually activate the selected raffle
  • Draw Raffle - From this button you will actually pick the winner

List Raffles

Clicking this button you will receive in world the list of active and inactive raffles.
Please note that of course the result may easily be 0, if you have no raffles in that states
Please also note that old raffles (archived ones) can be seen only in the web interface

In world message Manage Me interface

New Raffle

When you click on this button (surprise surprise!) you will be asked to name your new raffle A message from the postmaster will confirm that it has been created. PLEASE NOTE The Raffle has NOT been activated, it has just been created.

Activate Raffle

Once you have created the Raffle, you can activate it.
Selecting the Activate Raffle button a new dialog will be shown.
If you have several raffle to activate, you will have more than one element, and of course more than one button and a message in world will inform you that everything is active You can see that the raffle is active also clicking on the button List Raffles Next step will be to go to Manage Me! to define who will be allowed to enrol in your Raffle

Draw Raffle

When you click on this button you will either be asked if you want to decide the winners of the raffle, OR decide to deactivate it.

  • Winners - Shows you the winner for the raffle
  • Deactivate - Deactivated the specific raffle, so that it will NOT accept new users to enter it, and you can, later on, decide to draw the winner
