AddEvent to send spectator msg

[OperatorMopa]

I have this code

local pos = Position(354, 123, 7)

local function showMsg(playerId, position)
    local player = Player(playerId)
    if player == nil then
        print("player logged out")
        return true
    end
    player:say('hello', TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY)  -- it works
    local spectators = Game.getSpectators(position, false, true, 3, 3) -- it doesn't work
        for i = 1, #spectators do
        player:say('hello', TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY, isInGhostMode, spectators[i], position)
    end
end

function onUse(player, item, fromPosition, target, toPosition, isHotkey)
   
    addEvent(showMsg, 2000, player:getId(), pos)

end

What i wanna do is to send msg to all spectators of this position. How should i do it ?

local function showMsg(position)
    for _, spectator in ipairs(Game.getSpectators(position, false, true, 3, 3)) do
        spectator:say("Hello World.", TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY)
    end
end

What i need is like Game.sendAnimatedText on the position but as TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY

Add this to player.lua

function Player:doAnimatedAllText(text)
    local textTable = {}
    text:gsub("[0-9a-zA-Z]+", function(str) table.insert(textTable, str) end)
    for i in ipairs(textTable) do
        addEvent(
        function(text, cid)
            local player = Player(cid)
            if player then
                player:say(text, TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY)
            end
        end, i * 1000, textTable[i], self:getId()
        )
    end
end

to use with @Printer's example

local function showMsg(position)
    for _, spectator in ipairs(Game.getSpectators(position, false, true, 3, 3)) do
        spectator:doAnimatedAllText("Hello World.")
    end
end

end

It's sending above player, not position and space (" ") is making new line

Yes the function breaks up the words so they display properly, this function was originally made for a 8.6 server where there is a limit to how many characters (i think it was 11) can be used in the animated text function.

If you are looking for animated text at a position, sorry I don't know how to do that

Maybe someone else can help you.

Your code works. Just tested it.
Try changing isInGhostMode to false.
