# Target raids

> Admin /raid on X, TikTok, Instagram, or Reddit with metric targets and optional chat lock.

Admins run a **manual** raid on one post. The bot can lock the group until targets are hit (or you `/end`).

## Commands

* `/raid` — pick platform
* `/raid_x` / `/raid_tiktok` / `/raid_insta` / `/raid_reddit` — skip the picker

Must be used **in the group**. One raid per group at a time.

## Flow

1. **Lock** or **Open** — lock needs restrict-members for you and the bot; bot must be able to delete messages.
2. Paste the post URL.
3. Enter targets. **0** means that metric is not required.

X metrics: likes, reposts, replies, bookmarks.

| Platform | Targets |
| - | - |
| TikTok | likes, comments, shares, saves |
| Instagram | likes, comments |
| Reddit | ups, comments |

Non-X raids poll on a fixed schedule (up to **10 checks over 3 hours**). X uses live checks. There is **no** influencer streaming for TikTok/Instagram/Reddit.

4. Smash message is pinned if the bot can pin. Chat unlocks when targets are met, the raid times out, or you `/end`.

## Branding

Lock / began / unlocked / cancelled art is **Custom Branding → Raid Media**, not a separate “target raid settings” screen. Lock vs open is chosen **when you start the raid**, not in settings.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Default raid images are included. Custom media is free to change.
