I want to edit the code of the MOTD to make it open it after a set time on a loop. I've tried adding a "for do" and "simple timer" but none of these worked. Here's the unedited version of the MOTD. Thanks!
[CODE]ulx.motdmenu_exists = true
local mode
local url
function ulx.showMotdMenu( steamid )
if mode == nil then
return -- No data provided
end
local window = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
if ScrW() > 640 then -- Make it larger if we can.
window:SetSize( ScrW()*0.9, ScrH()*0.9 )
else
window:SetSize( 640, 480 )
end
window:Center()
window:SetTitle( "ULX MOTD" )
window:SetVisible( true )
window:MakePopup()
local html = vgui.Create( "DHTML", window )
--html:SetAllowLua( true ) -- Too much of a security risk for us to enable. Feel free to uncomment if you know what you're doing.
local button = vgui.Create( "DButton", window )
button:SetText( "Close" )
button.DoClick = function() window:Close() end
button:SetSize( 100, 40 )
button:SetPos( (window:GetWide() - button:GetWide()) / 2, window:GetTall() - button:GetTall() - 10 )
html:SetSize( window:GetWide() - 20, window:GetTall() - button:GetTall() - 50 )
html:SetPos( 10, 30 )
if mode == "1" then -- file
html:SetHTML( ULib.fileRead( "data/ulx_motd.txt" ) or "" )
elseif mode == "2" then -- generator
html:SetHTML( ulx.generateMotdHTML() or "" )
else -- URL
url = string.gsub( url, "%%curmap%%", game.GetMap() )
url = string.gsub( url, "%%steamid%%", steamid )
html:OpenURL( url )
url = "http://" .. data
--coroutine.wait( 10 )
--window:Close()
--for i = 1, 5 do
-- html:OpenURL( url ) -- Does this
--window:SetVisible( true )
-- timer.Simple( 10 + i, function() window:Close() end ) --repeats this
--end
end
end
function ulx.rcvMotd( mode_, data )
mode = mode_
if mode == "1" then -- file
ULib.fileWrite( "data/ulx_motd.txt", data )
elseif mode == "2" then -- generator
ulx.motdSettings = data
else -- URL
if data:find( "://", 1, true ) then
url = data
else
url = "http://" .. data
end
end

coroutine.wait only works inside coroutines, so until you know how coroutines work and how to use them, I would advice to stay away from them.
Back onto your question. In your message you say you want to make it open "after a set time on a loop". I don't really understand that, and your code seems to imply that you wanted to -close- the menu. Can you rephrase your question in a different manner? Better yet, tell us what you want to achieve in the end and why, since some people may be able to offer alternatives.
Nvm found an alternative.
