Send message to all online players

Levi · Feb 20th 2015

Hey,
i am new in Lua scripting and trying to figure out how to send a message to all online players but it doesn't work
[lua]
list = getServer:getPlayers();

for index, player in pairs(list) do
player:sendTextMessage(event.player:getPlayerName() + " died.");
end
[/lua]

What messages/errors do you get? What happens if you run this code?

Just 'it doesn't work' is really not lot of information

Lua doesn't support + by attaching strings together as far as i know. Try .. instead

Unfortunately the getPlayers() function is broken, but will be fixed with the next update

Try this
[lua]server = getServer();
server:brodcastTextMessage(String paramString);[/lua]
