  • Tag

The default configuration file is generated upon first load:

enabled: true
tag: 'Announcement '
order: 'sequential'
groups:
- global
global:
  repeat: 60

  announcements: []

Commands:

The following commands can be used by users with the node 'ga.admin'

The following commands are examples of how to customize certain aspects of GroupAnnouncer:

/ga set tag &4[&fALERT&4]&f:: will set the tag to [ALERT]: with red brackets and white lettering.

/ga global repeat 15: will show announcements for 'global' in 15 minutes increments
/ga global add Welcome to the server!: Will add this message to 'global'.

Usage:

To add a new group and set all the necessary information one might do the following:

/ga group add guests
**NOTE** The permission node required to see this message will now be ga.guests
/ga guests repeat 10
/ga guests add You must register on the &4forums &fto become a member.

To remove a message from a group you would do the following:
