Auto Messge

[John_Scott]

Hi!

I would like to write or get a Automatic Message script to my server. This script write a random text to the chat in every 5 minutes.

Can someone help me? Thanks!

setTimer 
math.random 
outputChatBox 

And use a table for texts.

Hello John!

The current script will only work on the server side:

local mRed = 255 
local mGreen = 255 
local mBlue = 255 
  
local theMessages = { 
    'Message 1', 
    'Message 2', 
    'Message 3', 
    'Message 4', 
    'Message 5', 
    'Message 6' 
} 
  
addEventHandler('onClientResourceStart', resourceRoot, 
function() 
    setTimer(outputChatBox, 300000, 0, theMessages[math.random(#theMessages)], localPlayer, mRed, mGreen, mBlue, true) 
end ) 

If you want to use this client sided change line 16 to:

setTimer(outputChatBox, 300000, 0, theMessages[math.random(#theMessages)], mRed, mGreen, mBlue, true) 

Enjoy, please learn from it.

client-sided outputChatBox does not have a 'visibleTo' param, also there is no need for onClientResourceStart.

local mRed = 255 
local mGreen = 255 
local mBlue = 255 
  
local theMessages = { 
    'Message 1', 
    'Message 2', 
    'Message 3', 
    'Message 4', 
    'Message 5', 
    'Message 6' 
} 
  
setTimer ( outputChatBox, 1000 * 60 * 5, 0, theMessages [ math.random ( #theMessages ) ], mRed, mGreen, mBlue, true )

Not working too, what start the function?

[Tete omar]

Are you sure you put it client-side?

[John_Scott]

I want to this on server-side

[Tete omar]

local mRed = 255 
local mGreen = 255 
local mBlue = 255 
  
local theMessages = { 
    'Message 1', 
    'Message 2', 
    'Message 3', 
    'Message 4', 
    'Message 5', 
    'Message 6' 
} 
      
setTimer ( outputChatBox, 1000 * 60 * 5, 0, theMessages [ math.random ( #theMessages ) ], root, mRed, mGreen, mBlue, true ) 

[John_Scott]

Doesn't work...

[TAPL]

local mRed = 255 
local mGreen = 255 
local mBlue = 255 
  
local theMessages = { 
    'Message 1', 
    'Message 2', 
    'Message 3', 
    'Message 4', 
    'Message 5', 
    'Message 6' 
} 
      
setTimer(function() outputChatBox(theMessages[math.random(#theMessages)], root, mRed, mGreen, mBlue, true) end, 1000 * 60 * 5, 0) 

[John_Scott]

Not working...

[Tete omar]

Well, it worked for me just fine, you'll just have to wait 5 minutes.

edit:

Also TAPLET's code didn't differ mine.
