📖 What is PulseMsg?

PulseMsg is a lightweight but powerful broadcast plugin that lets server owners schedule timed advertisement messages with full color control, clickable links, hover tooltips, and a smart flood guard so players never get spammed.

Each message runs on its own independent timer — no more messages colliding or overflowing chat at the same time.

      - '&7Get support, updates, and giveaways.'
      - ' '
      - '&#7289da&l&nJoin Now&r &7— discord.gg/example'
    interval-seconds: 300
    priority: true                  # always fires even alongside other messages

How scheduling works

PulseMsg ticks every global-interval-seconds. Each tick it counts down every message's own timer independently. When a message is due:

• Priority messages always fire — even if another message is also due that tick.
• Non-priority messages are flood-guarded — only one fires per tick. If multiple are due simultaneously, the others simply wait for their next natural interval.
