Practical script - Server advertisement
Aim of the script
Let's make a script which will send customized broadcasts advertising. This will use the Broadcast and Wait methods to control the timing and content of advertisements.
Let's make a script called ad.txt and get to work!
# broadcast 1: thanking for playing on our server
# broadcast 2: "check out our github" or smth
# broadcast 3: "consider donating" ad for the moneys 🤑
# we also want to have a 2s gap between broadcasts for more ✨ finesse ✨It's useful to write down what do we want to achieve with a given script.
Styling
First broadcast should look something like this:
Broadcast * 7s "Thank you for playing on Script Mania! Enjoy your stay!"Which in turn looks something like this:
But we can do better! Using https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro@4.0/manual/RichTextSupportedTags.html, we can use custom tags to spice up our broadcast like so:
Composing the rest
For the sake of this tutorial, we will be using discord.gg/3j54zBnbbD and ko-fi.com/elektrykandrzej as placeholders. You should replace the contents of all broadcasts with what you want instead.
Using the same principles, we can add the 2nd:
And the 3rd broadcast:
Final result
Notice that the Wait method doesn't wait for 2s, but 9s instead.
This is because the Broadcast method is not yielding! This means that in this case, where we want to send another broadcast 2 seconds after the previous broadcast, we need to wait for 7s + 2s, so 9s
Now you've created a complete advertising script!
