announce rates

[nana 6]

How can i add to this script (sorry i'm a new scripter now TOT) that announce every hour the current rates after change

 

What i think i did was:

 

every monday at 00:00 i change rates all week for a random ones betwen 5x and 8x, then i reloadmobdb and finally i announce it...but i guess only happen once x_x

 

 

 

-	script	dynamic_exp	-1,{OnInit:OnHour00:	if( gettime(4) == 1 ) { // If its Monday		if( gettime(3) == 00) {			set $@brate,rand(500,800);			set $@jrate,rand(500,800);						//Base exp			setbattleflag("base_exp_rate",$@brate);			//Job exp			setbattleflag("job_exp_rate",$@jrate);						//we don't change card drops rate, because these values won't change them anyway			atcommand "@reloadmobdb";				announce "Current AkiaRO rates are: "+($@brate/100)+"x "+($@jrate/100)+"x ",bc_all,0xFF6060;					}	}} 

 

 

Thanks in advance ^^U

In fact, I'd have abused the OnMinute00 label adding an else announce "blahblahblah" after the first if gets closed, so that no timers are needed and it's more efficient solution

i have some troubles x_x

 

in the guide i saw this example

 

 

- script flood -1,{

OnInit:

    initnpctimer;

    end;

 

OnTimer40:

    announce "flood",bc_all,0xFF6060;

    setnpctimer, 0;

    end;

}

 

so i try use it for the script (i use the same structure)

 

 

- script flood -1,{

OnInit:

    initnpctimer;

    end;

 

OnTimer40:

    announce "the rates are 5x for all week",bc_all,0xFF6060;

    setnpctimer, 0;

    end;

}

 

 

 

 

however i got this error o.o

 

 

 

 

Error]: script error in file 'npc/dev/rates.txt' line 8 column 16

   parse_simpleexpr: unexpected end of expression

    5:

    6: OnTimer40:

    7:     announce "flood",bc_all,0xFF6060;

    8:     setnpctimer, 0;

       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

    9:     end;

   10: }

 

How can i solve this? o.o?

setnpctimer script command doesn't want you to put a comma before the first argument

setnpctimer <tick>{,"<NPC name>"};
