Good Time Event - TFS 0.4 - 8.6

[hanzoha]

Hello guys! I found a mod that lets you have a double exp event every day for an hour. Everything works fine but I want to know if it's possible to add a message before the event starts, like: "Double exp starting in 5 minutes... starting in 4, etc...

Here's the mod:

It's possible.

 

[hanzoha]

How should I change it? Can you help me? Thanks!

 

[Zothion]

you can have a globalevent every now and then that checks how long it is until xp time and announces it

 

[hanzoha]

Would it be possible for you to write an explicit example?

BTW, does someone knows where can I find a proper way to learn how to code scripts?
Thanks!

 

[Zothion]

not sure how to do timed global scripts but

<globalevent name="bonusXpBroadcast" interval="5000" event="script">
script here
</globalevent>

just change that to something and check for time left to the times specified in days table
essentially just take the globalevent script you already have and make it check time left and broadcast it
