Author Topic: messageAll without the use of a minigame. (Read 1064 times)

I'm building a city, and there's going to be a missile silo/launch site. I want to be able to tell everyone that there's a missile launch via events, but I don't want to go through the hassle of minigames to make this happen.

Can someone make a messageAll output event that doesn't require a minigame?

Would you want it to be host only?

Probably yeah, as to prevent abuse.

wouldnt you kinda have to set it as a minigame in order to kill people with said missile?

The point of the missile is for show, not for killing. Plus I don't want people shooting each other randomly for e-gangster points.

Most missiles, if not all missiles being launched from a launch site or silo, go straight up but slightly curved. I aim the projectile so that they go up high, slightly curving and then disappear out of sight.

registerOutputEvent(fxDTSBrick, "messageAllClients", "string 255 255",1);

//Code from Truce's admin controls add-on
//This is for checking for host.
