you can use this website to conversion minutes to milliseconds

addEventHandler("onResourceStart",root, 
function() 
setTimer ( function() 
outputChatBox ( "Message", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true ) 
    end, 300000,0 ) 
end 
) 

or

setTimer ( function() 
outputChatBox ( "Message", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true )

) 

or

setTimer ( function()

You're Welcome .

[iMr.SFA7]

You are welcome.

[Mr_Moose]

Technically you're assigning a function to call a function there, the most elegant solutions (lowest amount of code) should be something like my example below.

setTimer(outputChatBox, 300000, 0, "Message", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true) 

For the time argument you can use basic multiplication where 5 minutes is 5*60*1000 (minutes*seconds*milleseconds). Just a friendly advice, all the ways works and does what you want.

setTimer(outputChatBox, 5*60*1000, 0, "Message", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true)

Guys if i want to make another one like this It shows in the same time, how to change it ?

setTimer(function ()  
outputChatBox("Message 1", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true)  
outputChatBox("Message 2", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true) end, 300000, 0) 

[S3Nn4oXx]

setTimer(function ()  
outputChatBox("Message 1", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true)  
outputChatBox("Message 2", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true) end, 300000, 0) 

Like this ?

  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart",root, 
function() 
setTimer ( function() 
outputChatBox("Message 1", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true) 
outputChatBox("Message 2", getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true) end, 300000, 0)  
end 
) 
  

[S3Nn4oXx]

It's good ?

[GTX]

Yes...

[S3Nn4oXx]

no example

The message 1 will be in 5 minutes

The message 2 will be in 10 minutes

but in the same script

how to do it?

[GTX]

setTimer(outputChatBox, 300000, 0, "Message 1", root, 255, 255, 255, true) 
setTimer(outputChatBox, 300000*2, 0, "Message 2", root, 255, 255, 255, true) 

[S3Nn4oXx]

this will work

  
 addEventHandler("onResourceStart",root, 
function() 
setTimer ( function() 
setTimer(outputChatBox, 30000, 0, "Message 1", root, 255, 255, 255, true) 
setTimer(outputChatBox, 30000*2, 0, "Message 2", root, 255, 255, 255, true) 
end  
) 
  

?

--[[

Messages = { 
    { "Message 1", 2 }, 
    { "Message 2", 5 }, 
    { "another msg", 1 }, 
    { "blablablabla", 20 }, 
} 
  
for _, v in ipairs ( Messages ) do 
    setTimer ( 
        function ( ) 
            outputChatBox ( v[1], root, 255, 255, 255, true ) 
        end 
    , v[2] * 60000, 0 ) 
end

end 

{ "Message 1", 2 },

    { "Message 2", 5 },

    { "another msg", 1 },

    { "blablablabla", 20 },

what is that numbers example in Message 1 there is number 2

[t3wz]

{ "Message 1", 2 },

    { "Message 2", 5 },

    { "another msg", 1 },

    { "blablablabla", 20 },

what is that numbers example in Message 1 there is number 2

it's the time (in minutes) to function be called.

for example, "Message 1" will be called every 2 minutes, "another msg" every 1 etc

[S3Nn4oXx]

{ "Message 1", 2 },

    { "Message 2", 5 },

    { "another msg", 1 },

    { "blablablabla", 20 },

what is that numbers example in Message 1 there is number 2

it's the time (in minutes) to function be called.

for example, "Message 1" will be called every 2 minutes, "another msg" every 1 etc

what's the better minutes for [iNFO] Messages ?
