How to start event automatically

Hello @RustFlashdoes the event start automatically or do I have to use some sort of plugin like TimedExecute to initiate the event?

I only see "Event Duration (minutes/0=infinite)": 45, but I do not see a config option for how often and when it spawns?

No, you can simply create a schedule or use plugins like EventManager or others that trigger commands at a specific time. From a system performance perspective, it’s better not to have a timer running constantly in the background and performing checks.

Is this plugin bad? I think it simply just runs the command every hour or however long I set it? https://umod.org/plugins/timed-execute

I could go and use my server console as well if that is better with a schedule

I like to match all my MapMarkers colors, size and transparency across all plugins so at a quick glance players can recognize the events and it looks much cleaner and nicer visually. Would it be possible to have a way to adjust the map marker color, transparency and size?

If you have the option, I recommend creating a schedule directly in your dashboard—that way, you’ll also be able to start it on the fly.

Currently, you can’t customize the brand, but I can add it to my to-do list and, if the community wants it, include it in future updates.
