Open up a GUI popup as the user starts the game?

[theviacom]

What I want to happen is to have my client addon call a messageboxok whenever it's executed, therefore making the popup start up when you get to the main menu.  When I try to make this happen, the popup has to be manually called from the console.  How can I make it appear when you start up Blockland?

Schedule the call so it happens only after the game finishes loading, or package a function called only after loading is complete and call it through that. Can reference BLG for that possibly as they have a window pop up for updates only after the game is done loading

How can I determine if the game has finished loading? Is it as easy as

if(gameLoaded)
{
MessageBoxOK("BLIVE" , "To open up BLIVE's client from anywhere in the game, press X.");
} else {
return;
}

?

Something like that, but if you're going to exec that it'll just not work properly.

(easier way)
Do this instead: schedule(0, 0, yourFuncHere);
function yourFuncHere()
{
    MessageBoxOK("BLIVE" , "To open up BLIVE's client from anywhere in the game, press X.");
}

This can get annoying each start up, may want to make some kind of preference

What do the numbers in schedule mean?
