TalkAction Announcement's!

[slaw]

Announcement's for your server.

Example:
/announ "HEJ HO,3,consolered

Will broadcast every 3 seconds message "HEJ HO" in type "consolered".

OK LETS GO!

data/talkactions/talkactions.xml

<talkaction access="3" words="/announ" script="announcement.lua" />

data/talkactions/scripts/announcement.lua

-- CONFIG
local SERVER_VERSION = 0 -- 0=TAGS/0.2, 1=TRUNK
local MSG_FREQUENCY = 2000 -- in ms
local MSG_COLOR = MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR

function doAnnouncement(string, delay, color)
	if SERVER_VERSION == 0 then
		broadcastMessage(string, color)
	else
		doBroadcastMessage(string, color)
	end
	annEvent = addEvent(doAnnouncement, delay, string, delay, color)
end

function onSay(cid, words, param)
	if param ~= "" then
		parameters = explode(",", param)
		if param == "stop" then
			if annEvent ~= nil then
				stopEvent(annEvent)
				annEvent = nil
				doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Announcement has been stopped.")
			else
				doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "No announcement running.")
			end
		elseif annEvent ~= nil then
			doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Announcement is already running... Stop it by writing: '/announ stop'")
		else
			if parameters[2] ~= nil then
				MSG_FREQUENCY = parameters[2] * 1000
			end
			if parameters[3] ~= nil then
				if MESSAGES[parameters[3]] ~= nil then
					MSG_COLOR = MESSAGES[parameters[3]]
				end
			end
			if SERVER_VERSION == 0 then
				broadcastMessage(parameters[1], MSG_COLOR)
			else
				doBroadcastMessage(parameters[1], MSG_COLOR)
			end
			annEvent = addEvent(doAnnouncement, MSG_FREQUENCY, parameters[1], MSG_FREQUENCY, MSG_COLOR)
		end

	else
		doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "You need to give announcement message as param!")
	end
end

global.lua, add in end of file:

MESSAGES =
{
	consolered = MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_RED,
	consoleorange = MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_ORANGE,
	red = MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING,
	white = MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE,
	default = MESSAGE_EVENT_DEFAULT,
	green = MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR,
	statussmall = MESSAGE_STATUS_SMALL,
	consoleblue = MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE
}

There is also needed this function to work:
http://otland.net/showthread.php?t=10727 (paste in functions.lua or global.lua)

You can also use in short way this talkaction. Like:
/announ "HEEJ

Then COLOR and FREQUENCY will be taked from default script.

You can stop announcement and start another one again by writing:
/announ "stop

Trunk - doBroadcastMessage
Tags - broadcastMessage

[Updated]
Misspeling.
Config: SERVER_VERSION (TAGS/0.2 - SET 0, TRUNK - SET 1)

 

[mamon_2]

On last TFS it isnt working =(

 

[slaw]

Try now. Remember if you're using TAGS then set local SERVER_VERSION to 0.
