Templates & Recurring Ops¶
Set your weekly ops up once and stop rebuilding them every Friday afternoon.
Templates¶
A template is the shape of an op saved for reuse: its groups, roles, vehicle slots, description — plus where it announces and who it pings.
Find them under Events & Ops → Event Templates, or from Discord:
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/templates |
List the templates you can use — 🌐 global, 🏠 your server's |
/create_template <name> [description] |
Start a new template, then build it out with buttons |
/create_event <template> <title> [date] [time] |
Launch an op from one |
The reply to /create_template is private, and only you or an officer can use its builder
buttons.
Global templates
Templates marked 🌐 ship with Star Org Labs — common op shapes you can use straight away. Your own 🏠 templates stay private to your server.
Announcement routing¶
Each template can carry its own events channel and ping roles. Every way of creating an event honours them — web wizard, bot command, recurring schedule, roulette — falling back to your server default when the template leaves them blank.
Recurring schedules¶
A recurring schedule posts an event automatically on a cron schedule. Manage them on the Recurring tab of the Events page, or from Discord:
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/recurring list |
Your schedules |
/recurring create <name> <cron> [days] |
Create one — e.g. 0 20 * * 5 is Friday 20:00 |
/recurring add_template <id> <template> |
Attach a template to a schedule |
/recurring toggle_active <id> |
Pause or resume |
/recurring skip_next <id> |
Take one night off — the schedule keeps running |
/recurring unskip_next <id> |
Changed your mind; put that night back |
days is how far in advance the event posts (default 2 days), so members have notice.
A schedule can override the template's announcement channel and ping roles, which means one template can serve several schedules that each shout in a different place.
Mission Roulette¶
Attach several templates to a schedule, turn roulette on, and each occurrence draws one at random. Nobody knows if Friday is bounty hunting or salvage until it posts.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/recurring toggle_roulette <id> |
Random template per run |
/recurring toggle_poll <id> |
Let members vote on the draw |
/recurring polls |
Live tallies for open polls |
/recurring one_off <name> <templates> <date> <time> |
A one-night roulette with no schedule behind it |
Letting members vote¶
With polls on, members vote on the template pool ahead of the run — from the poll board on the Events page or straight from a Discord select menu. Votes weight the draw rather than deciding it: a template with three votes is likelier, not guaranteed. An officer confirms (or overrides) the drawn mission before the event is created, and an auto-confirm fallback handles the nights nobody gets to it.
Keep voting chatter out of your announcements
Roulette polls can post to their own channel, separate from where events announce. If a poll gets buried under newer messages, it can be reposted at the bottom of its channel automatically — off by default, since not every org wants the bump.
