!raffle is basically just ontext command. Within the on text command is where you will want to check if the user has enough points to buy a ticket, and decide how many tickets they are allowed to buy. Use floodcommands to help limit number of tickets. Also, you will be subtracting the points in this block of code, as well as storing the number of tickets the user has. The best way for this is maybe write the user data to a textini file similar to how the points are stored. Now, you will either need a timer to automatically end the raffle, or another ontext command to end it. With another ontext to end, you will want a variable to check if raffletime is on/true/set/w.e in this block of code before you do anything.


!draw
you will want this block to check if the user has any tickets, and then how much. If you are only doing 1 ticket per person, then just check who has tickets, and store each one to a list, then random number from that list. That person wins, and reset all tickets from each user, and print msg that that specific user won. I guess you could also put the variable to end the raffle in this block of code, too.

Hey thanks for your help but i dont seem to be able to figure it out i think i did it totally wrong as i said i am very very inexperienced about this all!
Thanks for you help can you please show me a code that i can observe and see what is happening please! THANKS!

I'm not going to give you the straight up answer, as this won't help you learn what does what in mIRC script language, but I will post an outline for you, and we can go from there if you are still confused.

In addition to your points code, add an on text command for your raffle system. You can name the command whatever you want. In this example, I named it "raffle". ***I've paraphrased a lot of the code, this is not copy/paste material, and will not work without modifying.***

Now you need the command to draw a winner. I use the name "draw" in this example


Now.
!raffle
-will add 1 ticket to whoever issued that command in the chat. Flood command or variable check will limit it to 1 ticket, or rather, 1 use of the command.

!draw
-will stop people from using the raffle command (if you set the variables this way)
-picks a user that has a ticket at random, and msg channel that they won.

You will most likely also want to control when people can/can not buy tickets. Do this with a variable to set the raffle command on/off, or set a timer to automatically set raffle off.
