This function sends a chatbox message to all the players in the game. It can be customised to your own colour if needed. Defaults to Green.

Syntax

Message can take 2 different lists of parameters. These are:

bool Message( string text, int r, int g, int b )

bool Message( string text, Colour col )

Arguments

• text - This is the message to send to players
• r - The amount of Red to be in the colour
• g - The amount of Green to be in the colour
• b - The amount of Blue to be in the colour
• col - A colour object. Good for defining your own colours at script start

Example

This will send a message saying 'Testing... Red! Green! Blue!' when somebody types '/test'

 
Col_Blue <- Colour( 0, 0, 255 );
 
function onPlayerCommand( plr, cmd, text )
{
     if ( cmd == "test" )
     {
          Message( "Testing..." );
          Message( "Red!", 255, 0, 0 ); 
          Message( "Green!", 0, 255, 0 );
          Message( "Blue!", Col_Blue );
     }
}
