Print "%" percent symbol in console

[Merudo]

Is there a way to show the "%" symbol in console with PrintToConsole?

The "%" symbol is reserved to print variables (%d prints an integer, %f a float, etc)

I tried using "%%" but it doesn't show the symbol.

How are you using it? Because "%%" should definitely work.

I'm using VFormat, which seems to replace my %% by spaces.

void f(const char[] s, ...)
{
decl String:buf[512];
VFormat(buf, sizeof(buf), s, 2);
PrintToServer("%s", buf);
}

As Miu indicates, you were probably double-formatting by passing the formatted buffer as the first arguments to PrintToServer (which is a massive security bug).

Yes it was a multiple formatting error :) Thanks guys!

In my case my error was to do

PrintToConsole(client, buf);

instead of

PrintToConsole(client, "%s", buf);
