[idea] Message Box When A Character Logs In

[elegos87]

Hello there!

Is there a way to send a textbox to any character who logs into the world? It would be nice to give some informations about the realm ^^

Thanks

Not a chat motd, but rather a MESSAGE BOX with more then few lines...

This will get " playername Welcome Login Server " when login in server! enjoy~~

uhm... will sWorld.SendWorldText send a text like the motd or a textbox? I even don't think it's possible, but it is possible to send a message box, as like as a frame or something else? Or I need an addon?

if there is no such function in the game client, you of course need an addon which catches the server message and handles it (in your situation displays it in a box).
