I'm running OSP, and want to have certain messages broadcast to all players at timed intervals. Like /say download maps at blahblah.here.com/maps I've seen it done, I just can't figure out how to make it happen.

There used to be a guy who hung around here named "whatever", I think he runs the "Escaped Turkey" maps. He did that. If you can contact him he might help, he seemed helpful.

Here is what I got. New Comment #1 @ 05:33 PST, 11 Mar 2006 By England injx You can use PB tasks to do this. In your server's pb config, add these lines: PB_SV_TaskEmpty //Empty Task List first. PB_SV_Task 10 300 "say ^3Download maps at blahblah.com/maps" This task will first execute 10 seconds after starting and then every 300 seconds. You can add more tasks in the same way, but try not to have many messages appearing at the same time because they will spam the console which is quite annoying, so try and stagger them by changing the 10 and 300.
