Prize Wheel

Put a wheel of prizes on your stream. When a member tips the wheel's price, the wheel spins on stream and lands on a prize. You can also spin it yourself.

caution

Please remember that CharlesBot is only able to track public tips.

Set Up a Wheel​

  1. In your Control Panel, open OBS widgets and choose Open OBS widget settings. It opens on Prize wheel.
  2. In the wheel menu at the top, choose Add New Wheel.
  3. Set Wheel Price to the tip that spins it, like 200.
  4. Under Wheel Prizes, type a name for each prize and pick its color. Choose Add Prize to add more.
  5. If you want, choose a Wheel Theme to change the wheel's colors.

Your changes save on their own, and Live Preview shows how the wheel looks.

You can make a wheel for each price, like a 100 token wheel and a 500 token wheel. Use the wheel menu to switch between them.

Change Your Prizes​

  • Drag a prize to move it around the wheel.
  • Use the switch on a prize to turn it off without deleting it.
  • Choose the trash can to delete a prize.
  • Choose Bulk Edit to type or paste all your prize names at once, one per line.

Check the Odds​

Every prize on the wheel has the same chance on each spin. To make a prize more likely, add it more than once.

Choose Check odds to see each prize's chance and try a batch of test spins. Test spins stay in the settings page. They don't show on stream or give out prizes.

Turn Off or Delete a Wheel​

The switch next to the wheel menu turns the whole wheel on or off. A wheel that's off won't spin, from tips or from you. Choose DELETE to remove the wheel.

Limit a Wheel to Club Members​

Under MFCShare Club Restrictions, paste the link to one of your MFCShare clubs and choose Add. Only members of that club spin the wheel when they tip. You can add more than one club, and members of any of them can spin it.

Spins you start yourself skip this check.

Add the Wheel to OBS​

  1. In the wheel settings, choose Add to OBS.
  2. Choose which spins to show. All wheels shows spins from every wheel that's on. Only the 200 token wheel shows just that one.
  3. Drag the link it shows into OBS. OBS asks whether to add it, so choose Yes. It arrives at the right size.

You can also add it yourself as a Browser Source that is exactly 600 wide and 600 tall.

The wheel stays hidden until a spin starts and hides again after it shows the prize, so you can leave it in your scene.

tip

One All wheels source covers every wheel you make. CharlesBot can also use it to spin for your raffle winners on stream.

note

To show the wheel in more than one scene, add the same source to each scene instead of making a new one. Each wheel source spins on its own, so two sources could land on different prizes.

How Spins Work​

  • A tip of exactly the wheel's price spins it once. Other amounts don't spin it, so 400 tokens won't spin the 200 token wheel twice.
  • When several spins come in, they play one after another.
  • The wheel shows the prize for about 10 seconds, then hides.
  • CharlesBot sends you a PM for each prize, like ModelFan won Dance in your 200 token prize wheel!
  • Tips during a private show don't spin the wheel.

Spin a Wheel Yourself​

In your Control Panel, open Games & activities and choose Prize wheel. Each of your wheels is listed with its prizes.

  • Choose Spin once to spin a wheel one time.
  • Choose More, set Times to spin, and choose Spin to spin it up to 75 times in a row.

If OBS isn't open with your wheel source, the Control Panel lets you know, because spins won't play on stream. To change a wheel, choose Edit my wheels in OBS widget settings.

Recent prizes shows who won what, newest first. Spins you start yourself show up as Manual Spin, here and in CharlesBot's PM.

Chat Commands​

You can also spin your wheels by typing commands.

Spin a Wheel​

!spinwheel [price] [spins]

This spins the wheel for that price. Add a number to spin it more than once, up to 75 times. You and your room helpers can use it, and !wheelspin works the same way.

Example

!spinwheel 200

This spins the 200 token wheel once.

!spinwheel 200 3

This spins the 200 token wheel 3 times.

CharlesBot doesn't post anything in chat. The wheel just spins on your stream. If no wheel that's turned on has that price, nothing spins.

Open OBS Widget Settings​

Send CharlesBot a PM with !obs and open the link he sends you.
