How to create a message group

A message group is a group of messages that change based upon the tick time that has been set.

An Example

I want text that says:

Hello Everyone Welcome to MyServer

I also want this text to start at x=100, y=100, z=100 in my default world called "world"

To do this do the following

• /skytext create WelcomeMessage Hello_Everyone 100 100 100 world

This will create the first message and setup all the defaults. Now we want to add that second message

• /skytext set WelcomeMessage Welcome_to_MyServer

We now have both messages set to change every 500 ticks.

This will now work if we either do skytext /reload or restart the server. However, it will use the default blockid, default rotation and default tick time.

Change time between messages

If you want to speed up the time between changing use this command:

• /skytext set WelcomeMessage ticks 100

Now after doing /skytext reload you will notice the words change quicker.

Changing rotation

You can now change the rotation if you like using:

• /skytext set WelcomeMessage rotation 90 This will change the rotation to be 90degrees. You may wish to experiment in the game with /skytext [message] [rotation] to test.

Changing block type

Finally you may wish to change the block type, if I wanted to change the blocks to be quartz then I would use:

• /skytext set WelcomeMessage blockid 155

If you wanted to change to Spruce Wood plank, use:

• /skytext set WelcomeMessage blockid 5
• /skytext set WelcomeMessage dataid 1
