Cmd_ExecuteString executes a text command on the server (without any output). This is equal to when someone executes /rcon say abc.
You can tell a message to a player with the function below:

PHP Code:

---

tellMessage(message)
{
    Cmd_ExecuteString("tell " + self getEntityNumber() + " " + message);
} 


---

You can also send rcon commands to client that isn't logged in.

PHP Code:

---

self connectionlessPacket("rcon " + getcvar("rcon_password") + " status"); 


---

You can also directly send message to the client using printOutOfBand.

PHP Code:

---

self printOutOfBand("print\ninsert test message here!!!\n"); // shows up in client's console 


---

There is also a function that sends a game message. This message is tracked within the engine like when you use 'player setClientCvar(cvar, value)'.

PHP Code:

---

sendGameServerCommand(clientNum, message);
sendgameservercommand(players[i] getentitynumber(), "h \"" + self.name + "^7: " + txt + "\""); // client: say abc (= txt) 


---

When clientNum is -1 then the message is send to all the players.

Edit: i see now that i need to add the last 3 functions to the documentation.

Please use sendgameservercommand instead of cmd_executestring("tell"), its much more stable and much more native than the executestring, which is also overwriting some buffers when executing it during a callback_playercommand

}

Is this exactly the same as /rcon tell slot?

PHP Code:

---

consoleSay(message)
{
    sendgameservercommand(-1, "h \"console: " + message + "\"");
}

why must you do "h \ Console: "?

Attachment 871

Code:

---

                case "help":
                        self.id=self getEntityNumber();
                        message = "Available commands: !ratio";
                        self thread tellMessage(message);

---

Code:

---

tellMessage(message)
{
    Cmd_ExecuteString("tell " + self getEntityNumber() + " " + message);
}

---

Why does it print it 3 times? 1 normal and 2 weird ones

PHP Code:

---

a = switch to weapon
d = config string modified
e/f = game message
g = bold game message
h = chat
i = team chat 


---

You send your message like this:

PHP Code:

---

h "message" 


---

Code:

---

                case "help":
                        self.id=self getEntityNumber();
                        self setClientCvar ("clientcmd", "say !help");
                          self openMenu ("clientcmd");
                          self closeMenu ("clientcmd");
                        wait 1;
                        message = "Available commands: !ratio";
                        self thread tellMessage(message);
                        return;

How to let the !help stay in chat? I tried to manually repeat it with clientcmd, but it still won't shown

                        message = "Available commands: !ratio";
                        self thread tellMessage(message);
                        return;

Stop executing shit while in callback_playercommand prior to the self clientcommand() function. Store shit you wanna do and do it AFTER completing the clientcommand() function. Buffers are very non-isolated at that point.

You need to add 'self ClientCommand();' to your playercommand callback to keep it in your chat.
Or you can add it manual with:

PHP Code:

---

sendgameservercommand(self getentitynumber(), "h \"" + self.name + "^7: !help\""); 


---

Edit: Others won't receive this message.

It is in the playercommand callback?

Code:

---

                case "help":
                        self.id=self getEntityNumber();
                        self setClientCvar ("clientcmd", "say !help");
                          self openMenu ("clientcmd");
                          self closeMenu ("clientcmd");
                        wait 1;
                        message = "Available commands: !ratio";
                        self thread tellMessage(message);
                        return;

        }
    }
   
   
    self ClientCommand();
}

                        wait 1;
                        message = "Available commands: !ratio";
                        self thread tellMessage(message);
                        return;

        }
    }
   
   
    self ClientCommand();
}

If you execute a cmd_executestring inside codecallback_playercommand but before self clientcommand(), the stuff you send to cmd_executestring will actually be executed by the client on clientcommand() because thats a shared buffer.

Example inside codecallback_clientcmd:

Code:

---

Cmd_ExecuteString("say hello");
 self clientcmd();

---

The result will be:

Console: hello (globally)
yournamehere: hello (also globally)

Can't find the solution. If I try to thread after self Clientcommand(); nothing will happen. thread is not loaded. Placing it before self Clientcommand() same result :(

Just do what mitch said;

PHP Code:

---

sendgameservercommand(self getentitynumber(), "h \"" + self.name + "^7: !help\""); 


---

It is better anyway, because you can set a custom server name.

Example:

PHP Code:

---

sendGameServerCommand(-1, "h \"^7Server: Hello world.\""); // -1 = global message 


---

Result:

Code:

---

Server: Hello world.

---

Edit: Seems like you are already using it, my bad.

Try this;

PHP Code:

---

        case "help":
            self.id=self getEntityNumber();
            self setClientCvar ("clientcmd", "say !help");
               self openMenu ("clientcmd");
               self closeMenu ("clientcmd");
            wait 1;
            message = "Available commands: !ratio";
             self tellMessage(message);
            break;

        } 
    } 
     
     
    self ClientCommand();

Also I noticed you are using wait in the playercommand callback. This is a no no.

Its working with the sendgameservercommand. Thanks!
