Event settings
Required permission: You need Manage Events (MANAGE_EVENTS) to open this page and configure events.
This page lets you configure every event type for your server. You can activate events, adjust payout values, and define the channels and limits each event should use.
What the page shows
You see a list of all available events.
Each event row usually contains
- Event name such as Famwar, EKZ, or Statecontrol
- Status showing whether the event is active, configured, or still incomplete
- Pro badge if that event or option requires Pro
- Edit button to open the configuration
What you can configure
When you click Edit, the settings panel for that event opens.
1. Activate or deactivate the event
- Use the switch to turn the event on or off
- Active events can be used immediately
- Inactive events remain unavailable
Important: If you change settings on an already active event, EventMate briefly reloads that event with the new values.
2. Payout settings
You can define how much money players receive:
| Setting | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Kill payout (win) | Money per kill when the player wins | 10000 |
| Kill payout (loss) | Money per kill when the player loses | 5000 |
| Travel payout | Flat travel allowance | 2000 |
| Bonus | Extra money for winners | 15000 |
| Chiptuner payout | Bizwar-specific amount | 20000 |
| Workshop payout | Bizwar-specific amount | 18000 |
3. Required fields for active events

FAQ
Why can I not edit an event?
It is probably a Pro-only event or you do not have the required permission.
Why do required fields show an error?
Active events need a valid event channel and a participant limit greater than zero.
Why is the event briefly disabled while saving?
The bot reloads the event so the new configuration takes effect immediately.
Can I have multiple active events at once?
Yes. Multiple event types can run at the same time, especially when they use different Discord channels.
How do I change the event language?
The event system itself follows your current bot and server setup. This documentation is available in German and English, but command output can still depend on the bot implementation.
Troubleshooting
I cannot activate an event
Check:
- Whether an event channel is selected
- Whether the max participant count is greater than zero
- Whether Pro is active if the event requires it
Changes are not saved
Possible reasons:
- Required fields are missing
- Your connection dropped
- You clicked cancel instead of save
The bot does not react to event commands
- Check if the bot is online
- Confirm that the event is active
- Verify the selected event channel
- Ask an administrator to inspect the bot status
Tip: If you get stuck, ask for help in the support Discord .
