Automated Server Announcement

[Keitenai]

Hello everyone,

 

Im new to this forum, and Rathena helped me learn some development stuff, so i would like to share some to show my gratitude. Though im not sure if this is the right section for this.

 

 

Here's a simple automated server announcement:

-	script	ServerAnnouncement	-1,{
OnInit:
	initnpctimer;
	end;
OnEnable:
	initnpctimer;
	end;

OnTimer1200000: //every 20mins
	stopnpctimer;
	announce "Feel free to use @request if you have any concerns regarding the game.",bc_all,"0x70dbdb";
	donpcevent "ServerAnnouncement::OnEnable";
	end;
}

but hey close enough i guess

Or you can just use..

-	script	ServerAnnouncement	-1,{
OnInit:
OnTimer1200000: //every 20mins
	initnpctimer;
	announce "Feel free to use @request if you have any concerns regarding the game.",bc_all,"0x70dbdb";
	end;
}

 i test your shortened script, but doesn't loop every 20mins. it only announce 20mins after reloading NPC then it wont announce again.

As Chaos 32 said, you just need to put this inside NPC folder then load it

[Chaos92]

change ontimer to OnMinute20:

 

 

example :

OnMinute10:
OnMinute20:
OnMinute30:
OnMinute40:
OnMinute50:
OnMinute00:

 

thats mean every 10 minutes for each hour its gonna be announced.

if you have more than 1 announcement texts, u can use random for example :

 

switch(rand(1,2)) {
case 1: announce "Welcome to ReUnite Ragnarok Online.Majority of NPC is in Prontera as our Capital City.Use @go 0",bc_all,0xFFFF00; end;
case 2: announce "Welcome to ReUnite Ragnarok Online.Majority of NPC is in Prontera as our Capital City.Use @go 0",bc_all,0xFFFF00; end;
}
end;
