eh I wouldn't even know how to make it for objs too.

obj would be fairly simple, just add in a vnum and then if someone wins the jackpot, when they claim have it create the object and give it to them

btw

Instead of claiming should have looked, It doubles well. There isn't a history claiming clears off you as a winner and if no more winners it clears that drawing info.

wow when I was looking over the post I said this earlier this morning and looking back i see that it could easily come off as rude. I meant you should have looked at the winnings using lottery instead of claiming the winnings because they are cleared when you do. It should double well because I tested that quite a few times

can you post the thing you did for the logon check?

void has_winnings( CHAR_DATA *ch )
{
   LOTTERY_DATA *lottery;
   LHISTORY_DATA *lhistory;
   LWINNER_DATA *lwinner;
   int cntwins = 0;

   if( !ch )
      return;

   for( lottery = first_lottery; lottery; lottery = lottery->next )
   {
      for( lhistory = lottery->first_lhistory; lhistory; lhistory = lhistory->next )
      {
         if( !lhistory->drawn )
            continue;

         for( lwinner = lhistory->first_lwinner; lwinner; lwinner = lwinner->next )
         {
            if( !str_cmp( lwinner->winner, ch->name ) )
               cntwins++;
         }
      }
   }

   if( cntwins > 0 )
      ch_printf( ch, "&[plain]You have %d wins in the lottery waiting for you to claim them.\r\n", cntwins );
}

Winnings does not take into account if the pwipe is gone or renamed.

nope but both might be good things to consider lol

Edit: ok, next release should handle renaming and deleting/destroying/etc...

Also I have a question about your account system is that the way you plan on having people log in now? and how player files will be stored, because I have some ideas for that kind of system.

Also in the new update

around 1175 you will find a repeat ifcheck which causes the jackpot to show twice.

Also not sure if you meant to not add it or not, but the function you made to have it show the next drawing on who isn't in the update.

And I have changed this one to read obj names, but for some reason it crashes and gdb isn't giving me any info on why....

char *display_nextdrawing( void )
{
   LOTTERY_DATA *lottery, *lotdraw = NULL;
   int jack = 0;
   time_t nextdraw = 0;
   static char buf[MIL];
   bool foundfirst =FALSE;

   for( lottery = first_lottery; lottery; lottery = lottery->next )
   {
      /* There is some reason it hasn't been drawn so skip it */
      if( lottery->timetodraw < current_time )
         continue;
      if( !foundfirst || lottery->timetodraw < nextdraw )
      {
         lotdraw = lottery;
         nextdraw = lottery->timetodraw;
		 jack = lottery->jackpot;
      }
      foundfirst = TRUE;
   }
   if( !lotdraw )
      snprintf( buf, sizeof( buf ), "%s", "&WThere is currently no lottery set to be drawn." );
   else
   {
     if( lottery->lwtype == LW_GOLD )
      snprintf( buf, sizeof( buf ), "&Y%s&W will be drawn at &Y%s&W. Current Jackpot: &Y%s&D", lotdraw->name, distime( nextdraw ), format_pl(jack) );
	 else if( lottery->lwtype == LW_GLORY )
      snprintf( buf, sizeof( buf ), "&Y%s&W will be drawn at &Y%s&W. Current Jackpot: &Y%s&D", lotdraw->name, distime( nextdraw ), format_pl(jack) );
	 else if( lottery->lwtype == LW_OBJ )
   {

     if( !( oindex = get_obj_index(lottery->jackpot ) ) )
      snprintf( buf, sizeof( buf ), "&Y%s&W will be drawn at &Y%s&W. Current Jackpot: &Y*BUG* Item Not Found&D", lotdraw->name, distime( nextdraw ) );
     else

around line 274 find

      if( matchednums == lottery->numbers )

change it to

      if( ( matchednums == lottery->numbers ) || ( lottery->raffle && matchednums == 1 ) )

My fault looks like i missed updating it lol.

Also I have a question about your account system is that the way you plan on having people log in now? and how player files will be stored, because I have some ideas for that kind of system. 

That was just to make it easier for people to set up the system for a basic guide, I plan to change it a whole lot, I welcome all ideas on it, but please put it in another topic

Also in the new update 

around 1175 you will find a repeat ifcheck which causes the jackpot to show twice.

            if( lottery->lwtype == LW_OBJ )
            {
               if( !( oindex = get_obj_index( lottery->jackpot ) ) )
                  ch_printf( ch, "Jackpot:         %d, object doesn't exist.", lottery->jackpot );
               else
                  ch_printf( ch, "Jackpot:         %s", oindex->short_descr );
            }
            else
               ch_printf( ch, "Jackpot:         %d\r\n", lottery->jackpot );

            if( lottery->lwtype == LW_OBJ )
            {
               if( !( oindex = get_obj_index( lottery->basejackpot ) ) )
                  ch_printf( ch, "BaseJackpot:     %d, object doesn't exist.", lottery->basejackpot );
               else
                  ch_printf( ch, "BaseJackpot:     %s", oindex->short_descr );
            }
            else
            ch_printf( ch, "BaseJackpot:     %d\r\n", lottery->basejackpot );

These? it shouldn't if it is an object it should show the info if not it shows it doesn't exist, if not an object it will show the jackpot. Notice the second is basejackpot.

char *display_nextdrawing( void )
{
   LOTTERY_DATA *lottery, *lotdraw = NULL;
   int jack = 0;
   time_t nextdraw = 0;
   static char buf[MIL];

   OBJ_INDEX_DATA *oindex;

   for( lottery = first_lottery; lottery; lottery = lottery->next )
   {
      /* There is some reason it hasn't been drawn so skip it */
      if( lottery->timetodraw < current_time )
         continue;
      if( !foundfirst || lottery->timetodraw < nextdraw )
      {
         lotdraw = lottery;
         nextdraw = lottery->timetodraw;
		 jack = lottery->jackpot;
      }
      foundfirst = TRUE;
   }
   if( !lotdraw )
      snprintf( buf, sizeof( buf ), "%s", "&WThere is currently no lottery set to be drawn." );
   else
   {
      if( lottery->lwtype == LW_GOLD )
         snprintf( buf, sizeof( buf ), "&Y%s&W will be drawn at &Y%s&W. Current Jackpot: &Y%s&D", lotdraw->name, distime( nextdraw ), format_pl(jack) );
      else if( lottery->lwtype == LW_GLORY )
         snprintf( buf, sizeof( buf ), "&Y%s&W will be drawn at &Y%s&W. Current Jackpot: &Y%s&D", lotdraw->name, distime( nextdraw ), format_pl(jack) );
      else if( lottery->lwtype == LW_OBJ )
      {
         if( !( oindex = get_obj_index(lottery->jackpot ) ) )
            snprintf( buf, sizeof( buf ), "&Y%s&W will be drawn at &Y%s&W. Current Jackpot: &Y*BUG* Item Not Found&D", lotdraw->name, distime( nextdraw ) );
         else
            snprintf( buf, sizeof( buf ), "&Y%s&W will be drawn at &Y%s&W. Current Jackpot: &Y%s&D", lotdraw->name, distime( nextdraw ), oindex->short_descr );
      }
      else
         snprintf( buf, sizeof( buf ), "&Y%s&W will be drawn at &Y%s&W. Current Jackpot: &Y%s&D", lotdraw->name, distime( nextdraw ), format_pl(jack) );
   }
   return buf;
}

The reason it is crashing is the lottery->lwtype ==, change them to lotdraw->lwtype == and the oindex = get_obj_index( lottery->jackpot ) change lottery to lotdraw
Also it will be added in the next update.

A sorry misread the ifcheck for the jackpot thanks so far I haven't had too many issues with it. Other then the ones posted here it seems to be working perfect.

K bug with Objs type

Log: [*****] BUG: do_lottery: lottery->jackpot 8143898, object doesn't exist.

But it does exist.

I see why its because if the type is obj buying tickets still add to the jackpott

ah kk thanks probably good idea to fix that lol i hadn't tested objects just tossed them in haha

actually in mine and the release it already has

         /* Only increase for gold */
         if( lottery->lwtype == LW_GOLD )
            lottery->jackpot += (int)( (double)( ( lottery->price * lottery->jpercent ) / 100 ) );

Had a raffle set up with autoredraw turned off, but by the time it went through autoredraw was turned to TRUE again.

ok ill look at it when I have time ty

in the new_lottery find

   lottery->drawdifflast = false;
   lottery->matchorder = false;
   lottery->autoredraw = true;
   lottery->raffle = false;

just change autoredraw = true to = false since when it loads them it setting it to true by default is what is causing the issue lol

Well with that I am sure the lottery system is bug free now. I have tested every kind there is.
