How to/ Mod Install "Advertise Script"

[Bilco 41]

Very simple advertisement script that I found some time ago. A block pops up in the top right corner like it would if there was a side mission or Epoch event. I take no credit for this script, I'm only sharing due to recent posts for server messages.

 

Step 1. In the init.sqf at the very bottom paste this:

   

    //Advertise
    [] execVM "custom\advertise\advertise.sqf";

 

Step 2. Now create a folder called custom if you don't already have one and place that in the root of you mission.

Step 3. Now create a file and name it advertise.sqf and place the following code:

//Create an innitial sleep time of 5 min to pass the starting hint messages.
sleep 150;

_AddvertiseArray = [
    ["Title Code Here", "Type the mesage you want to display here"],
    ["Title Code Here", "Type the mesage you want to display here"],
    ["Title Code Here", "Type the mesage you want to display here"],
    ["Title Code Here", "Type the mesage you want to display here"],
    ["Title Code Here", "Type the mesage you want to display here"],
    ["Title Code Here", "Type the mesage you want to display here"]
];

while {true} do
{
    sleep 600; //Every 5 Min
    
    // Get random Advertise message from the array
    _message = _AddvertiseArray select (random (count _AddvertiseArray - 1));
    
    
    hint parseText format ["
        <t align='center' color='#0066FF' shadow='2' size='1.75'>%1</t>
        <t align='center' color='#0066FF'>_____________________</t>
        <br/>
        <t align='center' color='#FFFFCC' size='1.25'>%2</t>
    ", (_message select 0), (_message select 1)];
};

 

Where you see  ["Title Code Here", "Type the mesage you want to display here"] you can edit to you liking like so:

 ["Website", "Visit www.yourwebsite.com for information about whatever you want to advertise."]

 

Note: If you are using the infiSTAR antihack and have the Debug monitor set to true, you will only see this message flash for a second and then go back to the Debug monitor. Simply disable the Debug monitor in the AHconfig.sqf. If you are just running a debug monitor not associated with the antihack, it will still have the same effect.

Not right?

Nope. I guess the instructions for this script are not very clear in the original post. It has nothing to do with BEC. This script goes in your mission PBO.
