Economy and Game Features Showing as Not Active

What Causes This Error

When you try to use community commands like /community shop, /community bank, /games coinflip, or /community daily, you might see the error message "This feature is not active" or similar. This happens because M4T3 requires an active leaderboard to be configured before these features can be used.

Understanding Leaderboards in M4T3

What is a Leaderboard?

A leaderboard in M4T3 is the foundation for all economy and gaming features. It tracks:

• User currency balances
• Game statistics and wins/losses
• Daily rewards and streaks
• Shop purchases and inventory
• Bank deposits and interest

Why is it Required?

All economy features depend on the leaderboard system to:

• Store user currency data
• Track game participation
• Manage shop inventories
• Calculate daily rewards
• Handle bank transactions

How to Fix: Set Up a Leaderboard

Using Web Dashboard

1. Go to your M4T3 Dashboard (https://m4t3.com/dashboard)
2. Select your server
3. Navigate to Guild Settings > Leaderboards
4. Click "Create New Leaderboard"
5. Configure leaderboard settings:
   • Name: Give your leaderboard a name (e.g. "Server Economy")
   • Currency Name: What you want to call your coins (e.g. "coins", "credits")
   • Starting Balance: How many coins new users receive
6. Enable desired features:
   • Economy: For /community commands (shop, bank, daily)
   • Gaming: For /games commands (coinflip, blackjack, etc.)
   • Giveaways: For giveaway system
7. Click "Save Changes"
8. Activate the leaderboard by turning on the toggle

Common Issues and Solutions

"Feature not active" Still Showing

1. Check leaderboard is active: Make sure the toggle is on
2. Wait for sync: Changes can take up to 5 minutes
3. Verify feature toggles: Make sure required features are enabled
4. Check server subscription: Premium features may require upgrade

Features Don't Work After Activation

1. Restart Discord: Sometimes helps to restart Discord
2. Check bot permissions: M4T3 may need additional permissions
3. Test in different channels: Some settings may be channel-specific

Best Practices

Leaderboard Setup

1. Start simple: Enable basic features first
2. Set reasonable rewards: Not too high or too low
3. Monitor usage: Watch how users interact with features
4. Regular updates: Adjust settings based on feedback

Economy Balance

1. Start conservative: Begin with lower amounts
2. Observe trends: See how quickly users earn/spend coins
3. Adjust as needed: Increase or decrease rates based on activity
