MOTD Auto-Close?

mjnichols · **Author**

Hello, I'd like the MOTD on my CS:GO server to automatically close after 30 seconds. How could I go about doing this? Thanks ahead of time.

Open a hidden motd in the background and it will close the panel

How would I go about doing this automatically? Would it be done through a script?

Depends if Javascript is allowed in the MOTD.

No, it won't. The motd you're opening is different to the original one - that's the first thing. And second, you can display to the player multiple JS motds.

You can try tricky thing - create html file that will be loading another WWW with JS. Then create a timer that will close the window you've opened. However, idk if its going to work - you can't close window with JS that JS havn't opened.

you can just make a webpage that has window.close() on it when it loads and have a HIDDEN motd displayed that page after the timer hits 30 seconds.
best bet is if you have a website then make a javascript timer when the motd loads, for better timing.

so i need to make in main motd.txt link to web page and in there exemple
[HTML] <html>
<head>
<title>ble ble</title>
<script>
function close_window(url){
var newWindow = window.open('', '_self', '');
window.close(url);
}
</script>
<h1><img alt="" src="http://something something.jpg" style="width: 420px; height: 315px;" /></h1>

</html>
or i'm getting it wrong? it makes me confused i know that it will not work.... so i'm really getting something wrong... i will add timer later if it just work...
