Signups (Dynamic Events)
Guide to using Throney’s Dynamic Events system, allowing members to sign up for events in advance and helping officers manage event participation efficiently.
The Dynamic Events (Signups) feature in Throney allows members to indicate their availability for events, providing officers with a structured way to manage upcoming events. It is fully integrated with the Throney Dashboard and enables efficient organization within Discord.
This feature is NOT a substitute for /attendance – it does not take attendance automatically. Officers must still use /attendance after the event to log actual participation.
📌 Accessing Dynamic Events
To access the Dynamic Events panel:
- Go to the Throney Dashboard and navigate to the Dynamic Events panel.
- Click on “Manage Dynamic Events” to open the event management section.
- In the top right corner, click the “Add Dynamic Event” button to create a new event.
🛠️ Creating a Dynamic Event
When adding a new event, officers must configure the following settings:
- Event Title – The name of the event.
- Description & Notes – Any additional information regarding the event.
- Signup Time – The exact time the signup notification will be posted in Discord.
- Event Time – The scheduled start time of the event.
- Recurring Event Settings – Option to schedule repeating events every X days.
- Event Role Requirement – Restrict signups to specific roles (e.g., Tanks, DPS, Healers).
- Ping Role – The role that will be mentioned when the signup goes live.
- Signup Channel – The Discord channel where signups will be posted.
- Updates Channel – The Discord channel where event reminders and updates will be sent.
- Voice Channel Selection – Specify the voice channel where participants should gather.
Once all settings are filled out, click “Save” to finalize the event.
🧩 Signup Buttons on Discord
After a signup is posted in Discord, the following buttons will appear:
✅ Signups– Displays attending, absent, tentative, ineligible, and unknown members.🎉 Parties– Displays each party and the characters in them.🌐 Website– Redirects to the respective signup’s page on the Throney Dashboard.📣 Ping Unknown– Allows officers to send a customizable reminder message to members who haven’t responded. The message appears as a reply to the original signup embed and is labeled with the staff member who sent it.
♻️ Recurring Events
When creating a signup, you can now configure the event to repeat every X days. Throney will automatically duplicate the signup and post it at the same interval.
This is ideal for daily/weekly siege planning, static content, and other repeatable events.
🧠 Party Builder (Loadouts)
Party creation is now fully integrated with Dynamic Events!
Create Loadouts
You can create two types of templates:
- Player Templates – Build parties using specific players.
- Class Templates – Use role tags like Tank, Healer, RDPS, MDPS, Bomber.
Loadout Import Behavior
- Importing a loadout clears your current party setup.
- Parties will be built based on your selected template.
- Player Templates – Fills in members if they’re attending.
- Class Templates – Randomly fills in roles from the attendee pool.
- Parties may be partially or fully empty if users are not available.
After importing, you can freely edit the loadout, move players, or import a new template.
📜 New Command: /loadout
This new command shows party loadouts for your alliance directly in Discord.
Skips loadouts that are empty or have no members.
Replaces the older /party command (now removed).
