# /raid

As an admin, once you've completed the setup, you can quickly initiate a raid by copying your Twitter post URL and adding it after the command: /raid.

{% hint style="info" %}
After entering the <mark style="color:blue;">`/raid`</mark> command, **be sure to press the spacebar before pasting your Twitter post URL**.
{% endhint %}

### Example

<mark style="color:blue;">**`/raid https://x.com/mellow0x69/status/1832737533270114703`**</mark>

Once you have sent the command, a panel will show with buttons for you to manage the raid effectively with granular control. The Raid hasn't started at this point.

To Start the Raid, press the <mark style="color:blue;">**\[🏁 Start/Queue Raid 🏁]**</mark> Button. If there is an active raid in progress, or there are raids in the <mark style="color:blue;">`/queue`</mark>, then it will add the raid to the queue. Otherwise, it will start the raid.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Want to instantly start a raid, and <mark style="color:red;">cancel</mark> the ongoing raid, *without* adding the raid to the queue, press the  <mark style="color:blue;">**\[🚪 Force-Start Raid 🏁]**</mark> Button!
{% endhint %}

To prevent the non-admin members from speaking during a Raid, you can press the  <mark style="color:blue;">**\[🔒 Lock Chat]**</mark> Button. Pressing this will change the Chat Lock Status. It will then show a <mark style="color:blue;">**\[🔓 Unlock Chat]**</mark> Button which you can press to allow your community to speak again.

**After Starting a Raid:**

* If there is an ongoing raid, your raid will be **added to the queue!**
* If there are raids in the queue, you raid will be **added to the queue!**

Want to see the queue?: <mark style="color:blue;">`/queue`</mark>

Want to clear the entire queue?: <mark style="color:blue;">`/clearqueue`</mark>

Want to delete a specific raid from the queue?: <mark style="color:blue;">`/dequeue PositionInQueueHere`</mark>

Want to set a max queue size?: <mark style="color:blue;">`/queuesize NumberHere`</mark>

### Target Modes | Fixed vs Dynamic

Understanding How Fixed and Dynamic Modes Adjust Raid Goals

#### Fixed Mode

When using Fixed Mode, a raid ends when the tweet reaches **exactly the targets you set**.&#x20;

For example, if you set 5 likes, 6 retweets, and 3 replies, the raid will stop once the tweet hits those numbers. If the tweet already meets these targets when the raid begins, it will be cancelled.

#### Dynamic Mode

In Dynamic Mode, the targets you set are **added to the current numbers on the tweet.**

For example, if a tweet starts with 20 likes, and your target is +5 likes, the new goal will be 25 likes. This helps avoid canceling the raid if the tweet is already popular and **saves you time** looking at the current metrics of a tweet every time you start a raid.

To be more clear, the following order of steps below represent how it works:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Step 1" %}
First, you would find a Tweet, and copy the URL.

Let's look at the Current Metrics of the Tweet:

* Likes: 55
* Retweets: 20
* Replies: 10

<figure><img src="https://2279598952-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FB1xGH2I0SNV2iaEN2Vxe%2Fuploads%2FAqUA5RxJO1r4lgiOOEFh%2Fraid1.png?alt=media&#x26;token=266943c1-a152-4513-ad67-e4fcb1bbcfd7" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Step 2" %}

Secondly, you would do <mark style="color:blue;">`/raid TweetURL`</mark> , hit Enter, Change Targets, and change the Target Mode to DYNAMIC.&#x20;

We have set the (Dynamic) Targets to the following:

* Likes: +5
* Retweets: +3
* Replies: +3

<figure><img src="https://2279598952-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FB1xGH2I0SNV2iaEN2Vxe%2Fuploads%2FVoSAI9IweRAukT59RdrL%2Fraid2.png?alt=media&#x26;token=bcb9ab4c-cc00-4558-91a1-99882863b51b" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Step 3" %}

Lastly, you would head back to the group , hit <mark style="color:blue;">**\[☄️ Start Raid ☄️]**</mark>, and now the Targets are set as the following:

* Like Target: <mark style="color:blue;">50 (pre-raid-start)</mark> + <mark style="color:purple;">5 (dynamic target)</mark>  = <mark style="color:green;">55</mark>
* Retweets Target: <mark style="color:blue;">20 (pre-raid-start)</mark> + <mark style="color:purple;">3 (dynamic target)</mark> = <mark style="color:green;">23</mark>
* Replies Target: 10 <mark style="color:blue;">(pre-raid-start)</mark> + <mark style="color:purple;">3</mark> <mark style="color:purple;">(dynamic target)</mark>  = <mark style="color:green;">13</mark>

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Targets Default Settings

If you press the <mark style="color:blue;">**\[Set as Default]**</mark> Button, the targets set will now be pre-populated every time you do /raid.

### Other Info

* Other Admins can NOT modify the Targets for a raid YOU have set up. Only you can modify your own targets.
* While you edit the targets, the new values, live, are shown in the main group.&#x20;
