Auto broadcast TFS 1.0

[Raggaer]

Hello, was wondering if someone could share the autobroadcast X message each X seconds for the new TFS distro!
Thanks

local t, i = {"test", "testing", "test123"}, 1

function onThink(interval)
    broadcastMessage(t[i], MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)
    i = i == #t and 1 or i + 1
    return true
end

function onThink(interval)
    broadcastMessage(t[i], MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)
    i = i == #t and 1 or i + 1
    return true
end

Mind showing me how the globalevents.lua line should be for this one because mine just keeps saying failed to execute event Broadcast Im wondering if it has to have a certain name, This is what I have it as and the broadcast.lua is your code exactly ^ (running tfs 1.1)

Heres my globalevents.lua line
<globalevent name="Broadcast" interval="1000000" script="broadcast.lua"/>

Post the full error.

i really need this.

-- [( Script created by gboxx )] --
function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
MENSAGE = {
"[Event Mensaje]xxxx",
"[Event Mensaje]xxxx",
}
broadcastMessage(MENSAGE[math.random(1,#MENSAGE)],20)
return TRUE
end

seems like common thing running around here. people like to return true everywhere xD (i used to do it too)
but infact, you dont need it most cases.

"[Event Mensaje]xxxx",

return TRUE
end

Indentation, MESSAGE is global, it should be local, TRUE should be true, if you are using math.random you need a seed for it, otherwise it will always return the same value.

but it doesn't give same value

Try it yourself, you need a seed for random values, thats the point of the seed function. Google it

i don't understand you what is seed and too tired to read google wall of text about it.
Without testing i say: his code is working perfectly.

http://lua-users.org/wiki/MathLibraryTutorial
If you test here: http://www.lua.org/cgi-bin/demo
And use

print(math.random(100))

Then spam the "run" button, you will see that you get the same output.

umm... you are using totally different math.ranom, ofc you get 1 value..
he is taking random string from table.

EDIT: i did test the lua.org thing you have there, its kinda broken..
print(math.random(100))
should give random value between 1 and 100 if i remember correctly

It is actually not broken.
Now try this:

math.randomseed(os.time())
print(math.random(100))

As you can see all I did was add the seed function.

no need, it should already work by just printing 1 line without seeding

So you checked the demo once again?
As you can see with the demo, if you don't use the seed you will get the same value, but if you use the seed you will get a random value.
A seed is required.
If you don't then you most likely have it somewhere else.

i dont have the seed somewhere else and it works just fine for me in TFS.

Dude.. you have a seed somewhere, might be in the source code or in a lua file.
If we are talking about raw lua, then the demo is raw.
And atleast with older versions of tfs it was required to use the seed.
Just as the demo code showed.

math.random() generates pseudo-random numbers uniformly distributed. Supplying argument alters its behaviour:

• math.random() with no arguments generates a real number between 0 and 1.
• math.random(upper) generates integer numbers between 1 and upper.
• math.random(lower, upper) generates integer numbers between lower and upper.

i found this from LUA manual

If you want to continue this we can do it in a pm, no reason to keep bumping the thread.
