News System for newbies by me
Enjoy

function onScriptLoad()
{
NewTimer("TextUpdater",60000,0); \\ Edit it as u want, it is 60 seconds now
}

Functions...

Code Select Expand

function TextUpdater()
{
         if( GetPlayers() > 0 )
         {
                     local idx = random_msg[ rand() % random_msg.len() ];
                     ClientMessageToAll( idx[0], idx[1], idx[2], idx[3] );
          }
  }
Finally the main one "news" system

Code Select Expand

random_msg <- [
              ["**Message-1",255,255,255],
              ["**Message-2",255,0,0], \\ Add how many u want
];

to reducing lag cause of timer it must be improved

Code Select Expand

function onScriptLoad()
{
 newsTimer <- NewTimer("TextUpdater",60000,0); \ Edit it as u want, it is 60 seconds no
newsTimer.Paused = true;
}

function onPlayerJoin(player)
{
if( newsTimer.Paused == true )
{
newsTimer.Paused = false;
print("timer resumed");
}
}

function onPlayerPart(player, reason)
{
if ( GetPlayers() == 0 && newsTimer.Paused == false )
{
newsTimer.Paused = true;
print("timer paused");
}
}

function TextUpdater()
{
       
                     ClientMessageToAll( random_msg[rand()% random_msg.len()],255,25,0 );
          }


random_msg <- ["msg 1", "msg2", "msg3"];

to reducing lag cause of timer it must be improved

<snip>

... I mean technically yeah but you probably shaved off a lot less than a millisecond of execution time with that optimization. It's not like the overhead of calling a timer function takes seconds. It's inelegant.

There should be a balance between readability for the scripter and optimization for the server — this looks like an unnecessary microoptimization that just adds complexity.

What's not to understand?

It's a pointless fix because timers don't take years to run.
