        Every wanted to have a "Message of the Day" text display every time a client
        connected to you're server? Well, then check this tutorial out! The first
        thing you have to do is create a function that is called every frame (not
        the best way to do this but the simpelest)

        find "void() PlayerPostThink =" and page all the way down to the bottom of
        the function (where it calls "CheckPowerUps ();") and put a line called
        "CheckMOTD ();" under it

 [Image]Step 2
        create a new function called "CheckMOTD" directly under the line that reads "float modelindex_eyes,
        modelindex_player" it ought to look like this

        void() CheckMOTD =
        {
                if ((self.motd_count < 6) && (self.motd_time < time)) // 6 == seconds the MOTD will be displayed
                {
                        self.motd_time = time + 1;
                        self.motd_count = self.motd_count + 1;
                        centerprint(self, "Your message\n"); //Type in you're message here "\n" = new line
                        return;
                }
        };

        open Defs.qc and scroll ALL the way to the bottom (if you add a float too
        high in defs.qc it will crash your mod with a "progdefs.h out of date"
        error) and add motd_time and motd_count like

        //
        // triggers
        //
        .float          count;                  // for counting triggers

        .float          motd_count;
        .float          motd_time;

 [Image]Step 4
        And that's it! Compile it, and load it up the usual way. Start a new map,
        and there you go! A MOTD text! One thing to remeber though, is that you CAN
        have colored text instead of the white one, although that's whole lot
        harder. Try nameFun, or another Qname eitor. Good luck!
