How to start a scheduled HOI4 game

If you are an administrator of a Discord server that uses the HOI4Intel bot, you can use the /start_hoi_game command to start a scheduled HOI4 game. This command will notify all players who have reserved a nation for the game and tell them to move to the lobby voice channel. It will also mark the event as stated.

Requirements

• You need to already have event created using the /add_hoi_game HOI4Intel command. 
  Check out https://hoi.theorganization.eu/wiki/article/15/usage-of-add-hoi-game-command for more information.
• Event that has already started/ended can't be re-started using this command.

Usage

The syntax of the /start_hoi_game command is:

/start_hoi_game event_id instructions

The parameters are:

• event_id: The ID of the event that you want to start. You can find the ID in the event announcement message that was posted by the bot when you scheduled the game.
• instructions: The instructions for the players on how to join the game, for example Please join the lobby voice channel and wait for the host to start the game..

Example

An example of using the /start_hoi_game command is:

/start_hoi_game event_id: 1103359972739387604 instructions: Please join the lobby voice channel and wait for the host to start the game. Game ID: 489498498498487 Checksum: a2e5

This will start the event with the ID 1103359972739387604 and send a notification to all the players who have reserved a nation for it. It will also notify them to join the lobby voice channel.

This command also allows you to run additional commands such as /add_player_list and /end_hoi_game
