Killfeeds

Overview 🎯

/gamefeed controls the kill messages sent into in-game chat when one player kills another. You can add multiple templates, scope them to one server or all servers, and use placeholders to show live names, stats, streaks, and economy values.

This page is the full setup guide. Use /gamefeed help in Discord if you just want the quick placeholder list.

---

Who This Is For 👥

• Owners setting up server-wide killfeed messaging
• Admins managing separate killfeed styles per server
• Staff updating templates after wipe, economy, or stats changes

---

Requirements 📌

• At least one server connected to Helios
• Manage Server permission in Discord
• A target server chosen if you want a server-only template
• Optional: /settings server access if you want to toggle PvE in Feed

---

How Killfeeds Work ⚙️

1. A kill happens in-game.
2. Helios detects the kill from server logs.
3. Helios updates the killer and victim stats first.
4. One matching template is selected.
5. Placeholders inside that template are replaced with live values.
6. The final message is sent into in-game chat.

---

Setup 🚀

1. Run /gamefeed help once to review the available placeholders.
2. Decide whether the template should be global or tied to one server.
3. Write a short message template using the placeholders you want.
4. Run /gamefeed add message:"<YOUR TEMPLATE>" if the template should work on all servers.
5. Run /gamefeed add message:"<YOUR TEMPLATE>" server:"<SERVER>" if the template should only work on one server.
6. Confirm the success message and save the returned template ID if needed later.
7. Run one controlled test kill in-game and verify the chat output.
8. If needed, run /gamefeed list to review all saved templates.

Scope Rules 🌐

Use this rule set when planning templates:

• No server: selected: template can fire on every connected server in that guild.
• server: selected: template only applies to that one server.
• If a server has both global and server-specific templates, both are eligible.
• If you want one server to have a fully unique style, avoid leaving unwanted global templates active.

Formatting Rules 🎨

• Keep templates short enough to read quickly in chat.
• Use player names first. They are the easiest part for players to scan.
• K/D values are automatically rounded to 2 decimals.
• Wallet placeholders may show 0 if your economy system is not set up for that guild.
• If you type a placeholder wrong, Helios will not fix it for you.
• Plain text is the safest format.
• If your server already uses Rust rich text styling, you can also use formatting like <b> and color tags such as <#FFF000>.

Editing or Removing Templates 🛠️

1. Run /gamefeed list.
2. Review the saved templates and note the template ID.
3. Run /gamefeed edit id:"<TEMPLATE_ID>" to open the edit modal.
4. Replace the template text and save.
5. Run another in-game test kill.
6. If a template is no longer needed, run /gamefeed remove id:"<TEMPLATE_ID>".

PvE in Feed 🐻

If you only want player-vs-player killfeeds, check the PvE in Feed toggle:

1. Run /settings server server:"<SERVER>".
2. Find PvE in Feed.
3. Turn it off if you do not want PvE-style names or non-player kills showing in feed.
4. Re-test with a player kill after changing it.

Common Issues 🧯

Problem

Killfeeds are not showing in-game.

Likely Cause

No matching template exists for that server, or the wrong server scope was used.

Fix

Run /gamefeed list, confirm a template exists, and make sure its scope matches the server where you are testing.

Prevention

Add one simple test template first before building multiple styled templates.

Problem

The wrong template keeps appearing on one server.

Likely Cause

A global template is still active, so it is being selected along with the server-specific one.

Fix

Remove or edit the global template if you want that server to use only its own feed style.

Prevention

Plan global and server-specific scopes before bulk adding templates.

Problem

A placeholder shows up in chat as raw text.

Likely Cause

The placeholder was typed wrong or is not supported.

Fix

Compare it against /gamefeed help or the list on this page and correct the spelling exactly.

Prevention

Copy placeholders directly instead of typing them from memory.

Problem

Wallet values or stolen amounts are always 0.

Likely Cause

Economy data is unavailable for that guild or no money was transferred on that kill.

Fix

Test with a plain name-only template first, then verify your economy setup separately.

Prevention

Only use economy placeholders if you know that kill rewards and wallet tracking are active.

Tips / Best Practices ⭐

• Start with one plain-text template before adding styling.
• Keep one naming style across all servers so chat stays readable.
• Use global templates only for messages you truly want everywhere.
• Use server-specific templates when one server has its own branding or economy format.
• Test every template with a real kill after editing.
• Keep a copy of your best templates in staff notes for quick re-adding after cleanup.
