All right @rezecib here is the coding as promised and how it is with my mod along with small screenshots to show where stuff is located. Ignore the text being gibberish I had simply wanted to make sure it was reading the things I wrote.

 

My modmain.lua coding with the modimport bolded

An image of where the file is located which is in the scripts folder of the mod

I think modimport starts from ur mod folder, so i think it would have to be

modimport("scripts/announcestrings.lua")

or you should be able to use(might require "GLOBAL." infront of it):

RunScript("announcestrings")

I'll try it, give me a moment!

EDIT: All right I tried the first one and it works fine! Thank you! I had forgotten to tell it to go to the other folder!

Out of curiosity, does it crash without status announcer?

I don't see why unused strings would do that, but anything can happen I guess

Well, TheLetterW just showed me a bug with her version of the file. The strings tab does not exist without status announcer, thus resulting in a crash.

A simple if-check solves this.
