NPC and shout timer

All,

Can anyone provide a small example on how to make an NPC shout a message every 5 minutes or so? Either in the same zone or all zones.

I am still very new in the development of my own eqemu server and this community has been awesome in assisting me. Thank you!

quest::we(258,"Shout shout shouting something to the entire server");

quest::shout ("Shout shout shouting something in just the zone");

quest::settimer ("shouting", 300);

}

}

Would quest::stoptimer ("shouting"); allow the timer to start, or would that be quest::starttimer? Just curious

quest::stoptimer(NAME); Stops whatever timer you pass to it, meaning the "shouting" timer is no longer running, allowing either it, or another timer to be ran through quest::settimer(NAME, SECONDS);

thanks Kingly, what about setting the shout to run indefinitely, without stopping?
