    -- Remove color codes from the text before adding it to the console

so that you can recolor broadcast messages using hex color code, example/b test123 {#03fcfc}

-- Function to broadcast a message with random hex colors for a specified number of times
function broadcastMessageWithRandomColors(message, messageType, numTimes)
    for i = 1, numTimes do
        local randomHexColor = getRandomHexColor()
        addEvent(function()
            broadcastMessage(message .. " {" .. randomHexColor .. "}", messageType)
        end, i * 2500) -- Delay each broadcast by i seconds (1000 milliseconds = 1 second)
    end
end

-- Function to generate a random hex color code
function getRandomHexColor()
    local hexChars = "0123456789ABCDEF"
    local color = "#"
    for i = 1, 6 do
        local randomIndex = math.random(1, #hexChars)
        color = color .. string.sub(hexChars, randomIndex, randomIndex)
    end
    return color
end

Example of application

        local message = string.format("~~%s~~ has extended the global [10%% Loot] rate boost for another two hours!", playerName)
        broadcastMessageWithRandomColors(message, MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING, 5)
