To use events, you must have an understanding of the event admin role. See for more help.
The event admin role is the role you give to people who you trust to run your events. Eventcord checks the role using the role name. event admin roles do NOT identify who can join the event, only the people who start, stop, or manage the event.
There are currently two types of events: karaoke and general. They are described below.
Karaoke events work in regular voice channels and stage channels. In stage channels, the bot will invite members to speak and remove them as needed. In voice channels, the bot will mute everyone who is not singing and unmute them when the singer is done.
Events work on a text channel basis. Each event requires a text channel not being used by another event. Karaoke events require a voice channel not being used by another event in addition to the text channel.
People can group up into groups of up to 4 within an event. This allows for squads, or duets/trios in karaoke
The maximum group size for an event can be set using /groupsize followed by a value between 1 and 4.
Command
Function
Event Admin Role Needed?
/groupsize <max group size>
Set the max group size for an event
Yes
To start an event, simply use /start in the text channel you want to start an event in. You can set a custom event message by typing your message after the command (e.g. /start Hello guys!). You can mention a channel to start an event in another text channel (e.g. /start #events-zone).
To end an event, simply use /end in the text channel which is being used by an active event. You can mention a channel to end an event in another text channel (e.g. /end #events-zone).
To join an event, use /join in a text channel being used by an event. To join a friend in a group, you can mention them while using the join command (e.g. /join @danclay).
To leave an event, use /leave. If you are in a group, this will only take you out of the event, not your friends.
To view the queue, use /positions.
Command
Function
Event Admin Role Needed?
/positions
Shows you the event's positions
No
The person who is currently up can cycle the event using /cycle. In karaoke events, this will also unmute all members who were muted. People with the event admin role can always use this command to skip the person who is currently up.
Command
Function
Event Admin Role Needed?
/cycle
Cycles the event one step forward
No, but Event Admins can use this command at anytime.
Eventcord can automatically cycle your event with a simple command. This is useful if you want to set a time limit on how long a member can be in event position 0.
Command
Function
Event Admin Role Needed?
/autocycle <time between cycles (e.g. 1m 30s) or disable>
Automatically cycle the event
Yes
People with the event admin role can manage the queues effortlessly using simple commands.
Command
Function
Example
Event Admin Role Needed?
/push <@user><queue position> [new]
Pushes the mentioned member to the queue spot placed in the placeholder.
If I wanted to move @danclay to queue spot 2, I would use /push @danclay 2 Type "new" at the end as a shortcut to push into a new position.
Yes
/remove <@user>
Removes the mentioned member from the queue
If I wanted to remove @danclay from the queue, I would use /remove @danclay
Yes
/cycle
Cycles the queue
Yes (unless you are up)
/lock
Lock and unlocks the queue
Yes
/autocycle <time or event position>
Automatically cycles the event on the interval specified unless the event is cycled manually. This is useful to set time limits or cycle if the event becomes inactive.
;autocycle 1m 30s
Yes
/groupsize <max group size>
Set the maximum size of groups for this event. This defaults to 4.
;groupsize 1
Yes
/oneround
(Demo command) Automatically removes members after the event is cycled
Yes
Anyone in an event may start a vote to kick other members from the event. The members will only be kicked if a certain threshold of votes is met. This command is meant to help the event to self moderate.
You can either start a vote kick for kicking a list of members or a certain event position.
Use /votekick followed by mentions of the member you wish to start a vote to kick.
If members of your server are abusing the vote kick feature, you can disable it using /config server votekick
Karaoke queues have special features and commands that cannot be used during event queues.
Auto mute will automatically mute users who are not singing in the channel designated upon the starting of the session. To mute the users, the person who is up can use /ready. It may take a little bit of time for Eventcord to mute everyone in the channel if the channel has a large number of people. Users will be unmuted upon the /cycle command being used. Eventcord will also manage muting of people who join or leave the channel while someone is singing.
Command
Function
Event Admin Role Needed?
/ready
Mutes users in the channel who are not up to sing
No
/cycle
No, but Queue Admins can use this command at anytime.
Eventcord also manages the muting of people who join or leave the channel. Here is what Eventcord will do:
Eventcord will mute the user who joins the voice channel while someone is singing.
Eventcord will also respect server mutes made by staff, and will not remove them. Eventcord will keep tabs of who was server muted before muting people. Upon unmuting, these people will not be unmuted, and will stay muted until staff unmutes them.
Events are started and ended to manage when people can add themselves to the event. These commands can only be used by people with the
The event admin role can be changed at anytime (see)
Some event management functions are available via the
If you have a very large server, stage channels may be easier to use when running events on the server. Stage channels work very similarly to regular events except the bot invites users who are ready to sing and removed them when they indicate they are done. It is suggested you make your event admin role the stage moderator role in the stage channel so they can manage the event and speak in the stage channel. Read more about stage channels on the
