🕦 Scheduled Announcements

To use the scheduled announcement feature, you need to go in config.lua

The scheduled announcements will be sended one time per day. You can use HTML balise in the text and discord markdowns too.

Config.ScheduledAnnouncements = { -- Scheduled announcements will be displayed at the specified time, you can add as many as you want
    {
        time = "13:40", -- Time in HH:MM format, it will be displayed at this time
        job = "police", -- Job that will send the announcement
        message = ":police_car: **Rappel**\nLes recrutements sont ouverts !", -- Message to display, you can use emojis from Config.Emojis
        image = "https://imgs.search.brave.com/xB93cgrB3oZ7Os6iVJ74r18s_LZcYgUSH5N7a4jzLCE/rs:fit:860:0:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9zaGFy/ZWQuZmFzdGx5LnN0/ZWFtc3RhdGljLmNv/bS9zdG9yZV9pdGVt/X2Fzc2V0cy9zdGVh/bS9idW5kbGVzLzQ4/Mzc4L3cwdG16cW96/eGwzZXdsbmQvNDQz/NDY4NGRhYjEzZjJj/ZWYwNjhkZmMzNGQw/MTJjYWZiNWUxMmM3/ZS9oZWFkZXJfNTg2/eDE5Mi5qcGc_dD0x/NzMzODYxMDQ5", -- Optional image URL to display in the announcement, you can remove this line if you don't want to use images
        progressBar = true, -- Set to true to show a progress bar when the announcement is displayed
        sound = true, -- Set to true to play a sound when the announcement is displayed
        duration = 10000 -- Time in ms before the announcement disappears, you can change it to whatever you want
    },
    {
        time = "20:00",
        job = "mecano",
        message = "**:tools: Promo spéciale ce soir !**",
        progressBar = false,
        sound = true,
        duration = 8000
    }
}

If you don't want to use it, just delete the announcement and let the config like this.

Config.ScheduledAnnouncements = { -- Scheduled announcements will be displayed at the specified time, you can add as many as you want

}

🧪 Usage

📜 Command

Players can type /announce in chat to open the input UI.

This will only work if their job is configured in JobToCompanyName.

---

⚙️ Export Usage

You can trigger a company announcement programmatically using the export:

exports["b_announces"]:SendAnnounce(text)

For example : 

exports["b_announces"]:SendAnnounce("**Big Sale** :gift: \n Tonight only, we offer a big deal :gift:")

The script will detect the player’s current job and auto-assign the appropriate name and logo.

---

✍️ Markdown & Emoji Format Examples

In your message, you can use:

• **bold**

• *italic*

• __underline__

• for new lines

• Emojis like :gift:, :fire:, :tools: (mapped in config)

Example:

"**Special Offer**\n:gift: 20% Off on Repairs! :tools:\nCall us now :phone:"

---

🛠️ UI Customization

Logos should be placed in:

b_announces/html/logo/

Example: For a job mechanic, put mechanic.png in that folder.

Make sure the image name matches the job name in lowercase.
