Include Script

[Vincent]

Where have i to include those script? I only know how to use npc scripts.

-    script    News    -1,{
OnInit:
set .Time,60;        // Announce every x Minute.

setarray .News$[0],    // Random Message to be Announced
        "Updated News 1 every X Minute",
        "Updated News 2 every X Minute",
        "Updated News 3 every X Minute",
        "Updated News 4 every X Minute",
        "Updated News 5 every X Minute",
        "Updated News 6 every X Minute",
        "Updated News 7 every X Minute";
        
while( 1 ){
    announce .News$[ rand( getarraysize( .News$ ) ) ],0;
    sleep ( .Time * 60000 );
    }
end;
}

Well, that's in fact another NPC script, but you just can't visually see it. It's known as an invisible NPC. It just works without being in an specific map.

So work like normal NPC? well thanks.

Supposing it doesn't have any errors, it should work exactly as a normal NPC. But it just works without anyone seeing it. I reccomend to load it as in the NPC configurations then restarting the server to make sure that OnInit event is run.

 

Or well, you can simply add an OnWhisperGlobal label and then whisper to the NPC to make it run for the first time.
