Auto show ulx motd to everyone every x seconds

[mindzombies]

Hey peeps, i was hoping one of you smart alecks could help me out with my teeny problem.

Im not that great in lua :$ okay not good at all, but here is a crude setup i tried to make, which is supposed to show the ulx motd every 10 minutes. As in, its supposed to run this command on console: ulx cexec * ulx motd

Here is my code:

Code: [Select]

timer.Create("motd", 600,0, function() RunConsoleCommand("ulx", "cexec", "*", "ulx", "motd") end)
I also tried this:

Code: [Select]

timer.Create("motd", 600,0, function() RunConsoleCommand("ulx cexec * ulx motd", "") end)
However it does not seem to work :$

Even the smartest of the smartest arent the smartest xD

Where did you place it in your server files?

If I'm correct, the first one is actually "right", rather than the second one you made. Though, as the man above said, where was this file placed?

[mindzombies]

I placed this in lua/autorun/server if I am correct. I'm pretty sure I've placed it in correct location, and I've added both code. None works. I will get back after checking the location

[mindzombies]

Yep that's the directory,  lua/autorun/server/motd.lua

In fact, I also have a 'say' command, which basically makes console say something:

Code: [Select]

timer.Create("motd", 300,0, function() RunConsoleCommand("say", "If you love this server, please add bloodrp.us.to:27018 to favorites") end)

I'm not sure, but I remember reading somewhere that the RunConsolecommand  is in the following way: ("command" "parameter") something like that

Are you getting any errors, or is your IG console giving you errors?

[mindzombies]

No, I don't think my console outputs any errors, at least not related to this... But if it does, then they must have escaped my notice :/

I'm typing this on an iPhone, so there'll probably be a typo somewhere

Code: Lua

1. function OpenTheMotd()
2. for k, v in pairs( player.GetAll() )
3. v:ConCommand( "ulx", "motd" )
4. end
5. timer.Create( "OpenTheMotdTimer", 120, 0,  OpenTheMotd )
6.  

If that works like I think it will, every two minutes the motd will open for everyone

Oh im so so sorry, i didnt test yours, but turns out the code i had written

Code: [Select]

timer.Create("motd", 600,0, function() RunConsoleCommand("ulx", "cexec", "*", "ulx", "motd") end)
worked
thing is that since i edited via phone and stuhf, it wasnt saved properly on the server.
 
Thanks anyways for your help

P.S: I have something similar also, i want the same command, but implemented for gmod_admin_cleanup. i tried the above. doesnt work
