Thread: Timed Pop-Ups on Your Server

This is something random I made to warn people on my server to relog every once and a while to save their stats. I think it might be useful to you guys as well. Please post your comments here. Rep is appreciated if you use this!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First off, declare this int with the rest of them in your client.java:

Code:

public int popTimer = 1000;

*Note: Divide the number in the above piece of code by 2 to get the amount of seconds it will take for the pop-up to pop up! You can change the number to anything.

Add this with your other menus, which is pretty much with all of your other public voids.

Code:

public void popUp()
{
	sendQuest("@[email protected] Pop-Up!", 8144);  //Title
	clearQuestInterface();
	sendQuest("@[email protected] is a Pop-Up!", 8145);
	sendQuest("@[email protected], everyone! This is a server [email protected]@", 8147);
	sendQuest("@[email protected] can change the text to whatever you want. [email protected]@", 8148);
	sendQuest("@[email protected] is is just making a menu. Use one of the [email protected]@", 8149);
	sendQuest("@[email protected] tutorials you can find if you don't know [email protected]@", 8150);
	showInterface(8134);
	flushOutStream();
}

*Note: The above is a menu. If you don't know how to edit/make one, please use one of the menu making tutorials you can find around here.

Then, add this entire thing in your public boolean process():

Code:

popTimer -= 1;
	if (popTimer <= 0)
	{
		popUp();
		popTimer = 1000; //Change this to what the int that you declared is.
		System.out.println("Pop up sent successfully to players!");
	}

*Note: In the above code, make sure to change the number in popTimer = 1000; to what the number is in the first piece of code (the declared int popTimer).

There you go! You've now successfully added a server pop-up! Please post any errors you get here, or just comments! Remember, like I said before, help is always appreciated! Don't be a leecher! Have fun!
