Games Panels
A Games panel is a message with a button for each game you pick. Members press a button and play privately. You can have more than one, like a panel with every game in #games and one with only Trivia in #trivia-night.
Getting started
Open Games, then Games Panels, on the dashboard and press Create Panel. A new panel starts with every game on it. Pick a channel with Post Panel, and members can start playing.
Each game's own settings, like the wait between games and Leveling XP, stay on its page: Trivia, Cat Chase, Tic-tac-toe, Connect Four and Hangman.
Pick the games
On the Games tab, tick the games to show and set the order of their buttons with the arrows. A panel needs at least one game. A game you turn off on its own page stays on the panel with a greyed-out button, and the panel says it's off. Posted panels update by themselves when you turn a game on or off.
Under How members pick a game, choose Buttons (one button per game) or Dropdown (one menu with every game in it). For a dropdown you can change the menu's grey text, and turn on Reset the menu after a pick so it goes back to that text after each pick and members can pick the same game again.
The message
On the Message tab, pick an embed or Components. To start, the panel uses a default message that lists its games, and it updates by itself when you change the games. Edit it to write your own: a title, text, a color, pictures, and more. The game buttons are always added under your message.
Press Reset to default to go back to the default message. Switching between an embed and Components also starts from the default.
Who can play
On the Who can play tab, choose who can use this panel's buttons:
- Required roles: members need one of them, or all of them.
- Blocked roles and Blocked members: they can't use the panel.
A member who can't use it gets a private message saying why. Each game also has its own Who can play on its page, which counts for its commands too, like /chase play. A member needs to pass both.
Posting and keeping it at the bottom
- Update Posted Panel shows your saved changes on the posted message.
- Post it again posts a new panel at the bottom of the channel and removes the old one.
- Move posts it in another channel.
- Keep it at the bottom: when anything new is posted in the channel, even a poll, Sparrow posts the panel again under it a few seconds later, so it never gets buried.
Free and Premium
Free servers get 1 Games panel. Premium gets up to 5. Who can play takes up to 2 required roles, 2 blocked roles and 5 blocked members without Premium, and up to 50 roles and 100 members with it. All the games are free.
