Like this?

function onThink(interval, lastExecution)

if getPlayerVocation(cid) == 143 then	             
		doSendMagicEffect(getPlayerPosition(cid), 6)
	elseif getPlayerVocation(cid) == xx then	             
		doSendMagicEffect(getPlayerPosition(cid), x)
	elseif getPlayerVocation(cid) == xx then	             
		doSendMagicEffect(getPlayerPosition(cid), x)
	elseif getPlayerVocation(cid) == xx then	             
		doSendMagicEffect(getPlayerPosition(cid), x)
   		return true	
      end
   end

	<globalevent name="xxxx" interval="2000" event="script" value="xxxx.lua"/>

It doesn't work maybe first line is wrong?

Try with this then

function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)

 

[Skoczi]

unfortunately it still doesn't work ;/
But thanks for help.

Should work now, this time i tested it myself and realized what was missing.

function onThink(interval, lastExecution)
         for _, name in ipairs(getOnlinePlayers()) do
         local cid = getPlayerByName(name)
if getPlayerVocation(cid) == 1 or getPlayerVocation(cid) == 5 then	             
		doSendMagicEffect(getPlayerPosition(cid), 40)
	elseif getPlayerVocation(cid) == 2 or getPlayerVocation(cid) == 6 then	             
		doSendMagicEffect(getPlayerPosition(cid), 40)
	elseif getPlayerVocation(cid) == 3 or getPlayerVocation(cid) == 7 then	             
		doSendMagicEffect(getPlayerPosition(cid), 40)
	elseif getPlayerVocation(cid) == 4 or getPlayerVocation(cid) == 8 then	             
		doSendMagicEffect(getPlayerPosition(cid), 40)
               end
         end
         return true
end

doSendMagicEffect(getPlayerPosition(cid), 40) -- replace 40 with your own effect.
Also should work for both characters - promoted and not promoted.

function onThink()
	for _, cid in ipairs(getPlayersOnline()) do
		if isInArray({1, 5}, getPlayerVocation(cid)) then
			doSendMagicEffect(getThingPosition(cid), CONST_ME_BIGCLOUDS)
		end
	end
	return true
end

what about different effects for different vocations?

 

[Skoczi]

Yeah , it's not found , still this same problem. i dont know what's this... ;x

 

[Cykotitan]

what about different effects for different vocations?

he never specified if there's several vocations, so it's up to him to copypaste

@OP try adding a print call in the function such as print("test") to see if the globalevent runs at all
post your globalevents.xml line and make sure you're not using milliseconds and your server treats them as seconds
