Can I send a message to the in-game alerts field?

[Tazmyr]

Would like to send an alert/error message to the in-game alerts box (not chat).
Can it be done? Function to do so?

Thanks!
Taz

Do you mean the messages that pop up centre screen, or the ones that pop up in the top right of the screen, or the notifications window, or something else?

[Baertram]

Alerts / Announcements are the messages shown on top middle or right of the screen:

Notifications is the notifications list that shows if you press N or click the icon above your chat:

Missed mentioning that detail, but Top-Right was my intent.

Thanks @Baertram, but your link talks about Center screen messages and Notifications. How do I post to the Top-Right box message?
TIA!

For messages in the top right of the screen, use this:
ZO_Alert(category, soundId, message, ...)... is strformat arguments.
I generally use ERROR for category and SOUNDS.GENERAL_ALERT_ERROR for the sound, but you can experiment with other stuff
