I have the Periodic Message's set in the cfg but for one the same message plays over and over again with out messageing the others and two that every 20 secs it messages it which can be a little annoying. My question is is what setting do you use to set the timeing and I don't really under stand the help below it in esc+c because it seems cut off.

An example of a periodic message under .cfg would be "20 Welcome to SSDD Net.". Under the settings, there are 4 available slots for periodic messages, excluding the GreetMessage function. Anyone who enters the zone will receive the GreetMessage, and a # is not necessary because it won't be messaged until the next time you re-enter the arena. The periodic message differs, in contrast to the GreetMessage, by 1) it repeats the message in x minutes regardless of re-entering the arena, and by 2) there are a maximum of 4 periodic messages that you can input to the cfg.

Here's how it works.

GreetMessage [Welcome to SSDD Net.]
PeriodicMessage1 [5 Please use ?help to require any assistance from any online moderators.]
PeriodicMessage2 (blank)
PeriodicMessage3 (blank)
PeriodicMessage4 (blank)

Every 5 Minutes, the periodic message will appear in an arena message. If you choose to make it appear less frequently, then just increase the # to 10 or 15 or however minutes you want.

To add more periodic message, just put in what you want in replacement of (blank) above. Enjoy.

In Halo, their settings for Periodics have no 'Delay Time' and yet it still works.

That might be, yes, but still I doubt if that "[" in front of the 5 will work

It dosn't show up every 20 seconds; like every 20-30 mins

If you're going to reference the wiki, at least reference a useful page.
