How to use this command for 1 specific player and for everybody?

cmd_executestring

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:

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

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

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

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

		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)'.

		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

		tellMessage(message)
{
    sendgameservercommand(self getentitynumber(), "h \"console: " + message + "\"");
} 
	

Is this exactly the same as /rcon tell slot?

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

		tellMessage(message)
{
    sendgameservercommand(self getentitynumber(), "h \"Console: " + message + "\"");
}

why must you do "h \ Console: "?

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

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

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

[Mitch]

		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:

		h "message" 
	

[Ni3ls]

		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

		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;

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.

	 		self thread tellMessage(message);
			return;

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

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

Edit: Others won't receive this message.

[Ni3ls]

It is in the playercommand callback?

		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(); 
}
