How can I print a precached string?

I have this on Callback_StartGameType()

	game["spawnprotection"] = &"^2Spawn protection ^1OFF^7";
	precacheString(game["spawnprotection"]);

And I'm trying to print it like this

self iprintln(game["spawnprotection"]);

In iprintln you can use only simple strings (like str="string").
And as I know, strings with & (don't know a real name of this strings. somebody tell me, please) you can only precache and use for HUDs.

So, you can:
1. Make a simple string and use iprintln:

game["spawnprotection"] = "^2Spawn protection ^1OFF^7";
self iprintln(game["spawnprotection"]);

2. Make a HUD with your precached string:

game["spawnprotection"] = &"^2Spawn protection ^1OFF^7";
precacheString(game["spawnprotection"]);
self.hud = newClientHudElem(self);
self.hud.x = x;
self.hud.y = y;
self.hud.label = game["spawnprotection"];

You could refer to them as "configstring strings" or "precached strings" (sic) ^^

Basically you need to track yourself which values your precached strings have. IzNoGoD compiled this post with basically all info's: https://killtube.org/showthread.php?...out-precaching
