Solved [TFS 1.2] Send broadcast to channel (globalevent)

[Caduceus]

Looking for a way to send channel messages via globalevent. In this case, World Chat is 3.

local t, i = {
"[Server]: message 1",
"[Server]: message 2"
}, 1

function onThink(interval)
    sendChannelMessage(3, MESSAGE_EVENT_ORANGE, t[i])
    i = i == #t and 1 or i + 1
    return true
end

Issue was wrong talktype.

sendChannelMessage(3, TALKTYPE_CHANNEL_R1, t[i])

 

[Codex NG]

When ever you are trying to build something which you may have seen elsewhere chances are high the procedure or code already exists.

Since you want to create a message which appears at x time, serversave.lua is a good script to reference, since it contains both the broadcast code and a timer.
