Polls

Polls: the rules.

StaffPermission

StaffPermission: the Permissions node a player needs to start or end a poll. Needs Permissions.dll. From the server console or RCON you can always end a poll.

AutoEndMinutes

AutoEndMinutes: how long a poll runs before it closes on its own, in minutes. 10 is a good length. Set to 0 to make a poll run until staff close it by hand.

ShowLiveCounts

ShowLiveCounts: set to false to hide the running counts while a poll is open, so early votes do not sway the rest. Players still see how many have voted, just not for what. Set to true to show live bars to everyone.

MaxChoices

MaxChoices: the most choices a poll can have. Keep it at 9 or less so every choice has a single digit number to vote for.

WarnBeforeMinutes

WarnBeforeMinutes: a list of minute marks to remind the server before a poll closes. [1] warns one minute before. Set to [] for no reminders. Only used when AutoEndMinutes is set.

PlayerStartCost

PlayerStartCost: set above 0 to let any player start a poll by paying this many ArkShop points. 0 means only staff can start a poll. Needs ArkShop.dll to charge.

HistoryKept

HistoryKept: how many finished polls to keep on file for /poll last. 10 is plenty.

Permissions

Permissions: gates who can start and end polls. Needs Permissions.dll.

Enabled

Enabled: set to true to check Permissions. If off or missing, no player passes the staff check, so run start and end from the console or use PlayerStartCost.

ArkShop

ArkShop: only used if PlayerStartCost is above 0. Needs ArkShop.dll.

Enabled

Enabled: set to true to charge for player started polls.

Discord

Discord: posts the question at start and the result at end.

Enabled

Enabled: true posts polls to Discord too. False keeps them in game only.

WebhookURL

WebhookURL: drop the webhook link for your poll channel here.

Username

Username: the poster name Discord shows on each poll.

ServerName

ServerName: shown in the footer of poll posts. Set your server name.
