lua-temp-announcements

Lua script for Azerothcore with ElunaLUA for repeated announcements from a console/GM command.

Find me on patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Honeys

Requirements:

Compile your Azerothcore with Eluna Lua. Requires at least commit b824e9d18683ecfa498279de8ed1e49c1bfd887d of the Eluna Engine submodule hence commit 81548013dc0748c1aeb15179fed6b7fe861b64bc from mod-eluna-lua. The ElunaLua module itself usually doesn't require much setup/config. Just specify the subfolder where to put your lua_scripts in its .conf file.

If the directory was not changed in the ElunaLua config, add the .lua script to your ../lua_scripts/ directory as a subfolder of the worldserver.

Admin Usage:

Adjust the config flags in the .lua.

GM Usage:

Use .tannounce $min $amount $text to do repeated server wide announcements.

$min is the time between each repetition in minutes. $amount is the amount of broadcasts. 0 means until server restart or reload eluna. $text Is the exact text to broacast. No quotes required. Forbidden chars: []';

.tannounce list shows all active temporary announcements

.tannounce delete $id deletes the temporary announcement

As an example:

.tannounce 15 0 Hello players, we love you!

will post a server wide announcement every 15min until the server restarts or eluna is reloaded.

.tannounce 30 24 Hello players, check this out!

will post a server wide announcement every 30min 24 times total. The counter will go on when the server restarts. The delay restarts at 30min for the first announcement after the restart/reload.
