[Release] Auto Message Sender

[_Emme_]

Is there really any name for this? Anyways, this is a simple release of how to send messages to the server. The timer is set to 4 minutes, and yeah I think it SHOULD work, if not post whats wrong and ill fix it, havent tested it.

For you who want to learn:
I set the timer at 4 minutes, 240000 milliseconds. Therefore, I start the timer and it all begins! When 4 minutes have gone, it will look up the void "MsgTimer_Elapsed". Once it find it, it will check if MsgCount is either 1,2,3 or 4. If its 4, it will put the MsgCount to 0. But now you are thinking, there isnt a msgcount check for the number zero, minimum is one?! Yeah, you're right, but if you look at the World.SendMsgToAll, under that it pluses the MsgCount, so it will automatically be 1 once its 0.







In General.cs:
Search for:
public static System.Timers.Timer Thetimer;
Under, add:

public static System.Timers.Timer MsgTimer;
public static int MsgCount = 1;

Search for:
Thetimer.Start();
Under, add:

MsgTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
MsgTimer.Interval = 240000;
MsgTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(MsgTimer_Elapsed);
MsgTimer.Start();

Now search for :
public static void DoStuff()

Above it, add:

public static void MsgTimer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
        {
            string text = "";
            if (MsgCount == 1)
                text = "Example 1";
            else if (MsgCount == 2)
                text = "Example 2";
            else if (MsgCount == 3)
                text = "Example 3";
            else if (MsgCount == 4)
            {
                MsgCount = 0;
                text = "Example 4";
        }
            World.SendMsgToAll(text, "[GM]", 2011);
            MsgCount++;
             
        }

Just edit the "Example" text to whatever you want server to say.

Enjoy, press thanks.

Emme, you have to learn to stop using hundreds and hundreds of timers, everytime you start a new timer you start a new thread, starting loads of threads is bad -.-.

Obviously there is a trade off between the number of threads you NEED and the performance gains, but seriously the amount of things youve released that use timers, i would hate to see your source, and i hate to imagine what would happen with 50 or so players online, it would be horrible....

Im now expecting a reply from you stating that you dont use as many timers and that you understand the performance gains and loses from using so many timers, but honestly i cant beleive that, every release youve made has included a timer >.<

Ive using one timer in my source, haha. Ofcourse, I know this can be done in many many other ways, but hey, its epvp, people dont care about quality here. But if anyone is intrested,I could code this better to show you the difference.

I would like to see it
I'm learning when coding my source but it's not much ...

Only LOTF compatible as usual.

@scott
There is no other public source that is as far as LOTF is right now. Im only teaching people,
