[Question]How to make automatic announcements - [AXS]Bryce - 21.03.2010

Hey I was just wondering if anyone had any idea how to make automatic announcements come up in the chatbox every now and then for example, "Visit our website at www.blahblahblah.com"?

pawn Code:

forward AutoMsg();

OnGameModeInt

pawn Code:

SetTimer("AutoMsg",900000,1); // Auto message in every XX minutes

pawn Code:

public AutoMsg()
{
    SendClientMessageToAll(YOURCOLOR, "EPIC FAIL");
    return 1;
}

if i add lots of these announcments and i set it to 1 minute then will all of them pop up in the chat box at the same time? coz if it does then that would be kinda crap.. lol

Probably yes
Make fullscreen annoucements - When there is one annouced thing and second is going to be , first one dissapears.

pawn Code:

#define Announce_Time 2 // In minutes 
#define Number_Of_Announcements 37 // Change this to the number of announcements
new Announcements[Number_Of_Announcements][0] = {
{"Announcement 1"},
{"Announcement 2"},
{"Announcement 3 (Notice no ',' after the '}'! "}
};

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    SetTimerEx("Announce", Announce_Time*60000, 1, "i");
    return 1;
}
forward Announce();
public Announce()
{
    new RandAn = random(sizeof(Announcements));
    SendClientMessageToAll(COLOUR, Announcements[RandAn]);
    return 1;
