Tutorial
Heres my first tut! a tut on how to make random server adverts!

First: add to the top of your GM

pawn Код:

#define COLOR_CYAN 0x99FFFFAA // cyan

pawn Код:

new AdvertMessage[5][100] = // [5] = amount of messages, [100] = amount of characters to give
{
    {"Ad: Donate To The Server!"},
    {"Ad: Visit Our Forums!"},
    {"Ad: Visit Out Site!"},
    {"Ad: Got A Question? Visit The FAQ"},
    {"Ad: Be Cool!"}
};

Those messages are examples of what it could say... just remember, the "[100]" means the ammount of characters so the bigger the message, the more your going to need to add to that.

Next: where you put your forwards put:

pawn Код:

forward AdvertMsg();

Next: under your GameModeInit

pawn Код:

SetTimer("AdvertMsg",60000,1);

The "60000" = 1 minute, this means a random message will be sent to all ever 1 minute. You Can Change it to whatever You Want To!

Next: at the bottom of your script

pawn Код:

public AdvertMsg()
{
  for (new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
  {
    new rand;
    rand = random(sizeof(AdvertMessage));
    SendClientMessageToAll(COLOR_CYAN,AdvertMessage[rand][0]);
    break;
    
  }
    return 1;
}

you can put whatever color you want to but i put cyan.

And Thats it! Now You can send advert messages to your players!

There's no need to define anything here, actually. AdvertMessage[][0] would work just as well. And you don't need {} brackets for each item either.

You're using a useless loop which will send a random message globally 200 times. Surely this is not what you intended. Test this code with more than one person on your server. I'm afraid you are starting with a few misconceptions.
