[Release][FrostTeam] Announcer Template - MUST HAVE!

[Nymphx]

This obviously didn't take long but I find it's a valuable asset in every repack, funserver, blizzlike realm, or mid-rate server.

Basically - It's an announcer. You control the timer and what it says. You can gain more forum members, you could remind your players to vote or you could give them sneeky tips.

The code:

                ******************************                              
                *                            *
                *   The FrostTeam Project    *                 
                *                            *
                ******************************                        
                

        --FrostTeam SVN consists of the latest WotLK
        scripts, both Lua and C++. Some will be our own,
        some will be others with credits attatched. Our
        Svn includes all scripts that you may need
        to help make your server a more fun environment.--

---------------------------//----------------------------------------------	


-- These are the local configs of the script --
	
	-- Only change this part of the script unless you want to allow extra announce messages --

	local Timebetweenannounce = TIMEHERE
	local Npcid = NPCID

	local message1 = "MessageHere"
	local message2 = "MessageHere"
	local message3 = "MessageHere"
	local message4 = "MessageHere"
	

	-- Local config end --



function Announcer_Yell(pUnit, Event)
	Choice=math.random(1, 4)
	if Choice==1 then
		pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, message1)
	if Choice==2 then
		pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, message2)
	if Choice==3 then
		pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, message3)
	if Choice==4 then
		pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, message4)
	end
end


function Announcer_Start(pUnit, Event)
	pUnit:RegisterEvent("Announcer_Yell", Timebetweenannounce, 0)
end

	RegisterUnitEvent(Npcid, 6, "Announcer_Start")


	-- End --

NPCID = The ID of the NPC you want this script to be attatched to.
TIMEHERE = Time between each announce.
MessageHere = Messages you want the announcer to say.

This IS untested, so please post all feedback; positive and negative!

Thanks and enjoy.

Looks great.

Is this a LUA Script? =)

[Nymphx]

Yes it is. It might not look like one because of the locals + the "FrostTeam" heading and maybe because it doesn't view like normal Lua scripts? . Thanks for the quick reply .

[Tornad0z]

Cool, i will test now : D

Will post a feedback in 5-10 minutes ;-)

[Nymphx]

Thanks alot . Meanwhile I will work on another small project (A boss spawner).

[Tornad0z]

Well, i started my server, and checked my world.exe for the script to load.

Sadly it says that it failed to load.

Nymphx what is frost team??

Frost team is a bunch of guys that is making private servers alot more fun for us FOR FREE!

No, seriously.

They are a team that are coding both C++ and LUA scripts that you can run with ur server that makes it more fun to play on

[mager1794]

[Tornad0z]

Im not sure if they have a website, but i know that they have a SVN running

If you want to apply for the team, you should send Nymphx a PM i suggest.

[Nymphx]

Currently we are not hiring. I am just downloading any old repack to test the script Will have it working within 20 minutes hopefully.
