TalkAction Auto-Broadcast, Without NPC [Request]

[Ascendia]

I Recently Added some payments system and i would like to advertise my websites on my servers, Could i add like an Auto-Broadcaster every 30 Mins?

It should say like: Visit our Website and donate now for special features! WarOT - Home Page

You can use something like this:

Go to globalevents/scripts.. and create a file called autobroadcast.lua and add:

function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
local message = "Visit our Website and donate now for special features! WarOT - Home Page"

doBroadcastMessage("Information: " .. message .. "", MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_ORANGE)
return TRUE
end

or.. if you want to broadcast more messages then:

local messages = {
	"Visit our Website and donate now for special features! WarOT - Home Page",
	"Visit our forum."
}

local i = 0
function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
local message = messages[(i % #messages) + 1]
    doBroadcastMessage("Information: " .. message .. "", MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_ORANGE)
    i = i + 1
    return TRUE
end

and add this in globalevents.xml

	<globalevent name="information" interval="1800" event="script" value="autobroadcast.lua"/>

(1800 = 30 minutes (1800 seconds))

Allright i'll use an npc, could u post the correct script? Your "Roxor server" npc's we're fucking up so i can't use them, i gotta find working npc's, would appreciate it if you fixxed one for me and posted the script here or private :wub:

Then just put on creaturescript

addEvent(autoBroadcast, 3*60)

änd then something like
function autoBroadcast()
doBroadcastMessage( ....

Maybe adding something like that (I don't know if this works)

function npcBroadcast()
doBroadcastMessage("Hello")
addEvent(npcBroadcast, (30*60))
end

The use it something like this:

if msgcontains(msg, 'broadcast') then
npcBroadcast()
end

Try it:

global.lua

broadcastDelay = 30 * 60 * 1000 -- in miliseconds  
storageValue = 700800  
if (getGlobalStorageValue(storageValue) == LUA_ERROR) then  
    function save(broadcastDelay)  
		doBroadcastMessage("Hello")
        print(">>>>..::MESSAGE BROADCASTED::..<<<<")  
        addEvent(save, broadcastDelay, broadcastDelay)  
    end  
    addEvent(save, broadcastDelay, broadcastDelay)  
    setGlobalStorageValue(storageValue, TRUE)  
end

Based on Colandus's save system.
