Create new .lua file in data/globalevents/scripts/
Add new line in globalevents.xml:

	<globalevent name="effects" interval="2" event="script" value="[B][COLOR="red"]name_of_script[/COLOR][/B].lua"/>

Post globalevents.xml

 

[Daaslund]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<globalevents>
	<globalevent name="save" interval="900" event="script" value="save.lua"/>
	<globalevent name="clean" interval="7200" event="script" value="clean.lua"/>

	<globalevent name="serverstart" type="start" event="script" value="start.lua"/>
	<globalevent name="playersrecord" type="record" event="script" value="record.lua"/>

	
<globalevent name="effects" interval="2" event="script" value="text"/>

 

[Sweddy]

<globalevent name="effects" interval="2" event="script" value="name_of_script.lua"/>
Change that to the name of the script file in data/globalevents/scripts/
