AlliedModders - old "SayText" in CSGO

If you're doing it for an SM extension then you can take advantage of the Usermessages interface. if it's for mms, then I'm afraid you'll have to go all around it yourself (you can always see how it's done in SM ofcourse), here's an example code:

HTML Code:

void UM_SayText(int *clients, int clientsCount, int author, bool addTag, const char *input)

{

        if( !input  )

        {

                return;

        }



        static int msgId = -1;



        if( msgId == -1 )

        {

                msgId = usermsgs->GetMessageIndex("SayText2");

        }



        CCSUsrMsg_SayText2 *msg = (CCSUsrMsg_SayText2 *) usermsgs->StartProtobufMessage(msgId, clients, 1, USERMSG_RELIABLE | USERMSG_BLOCKHOOKS);



        if( msg )

        {

                // Colors

                //        x01                ->                default (white)

                //        x03                ->                team (blue or orange)

                //        x04                ->                green

                //        x05                ->                olive

                //        x07%s        ->                RRGGBB

                //        x08%s        ->                RRGGBBAA



                static char buffer[1024];



                if( addTag )

                {

                        ke::SafeSprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "\x01 \x04[\x03%s\x04] \x01%s", g_pGameMod->GetTag(), input);

                }

                else

                {

                        ke::SafeSprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "\x01 \x01%s", input);

                }



                msg->set_ent_idx(author);

                msg->set_chat(true);

                msg->set_msg_name(buffer);



                const google::protobuf::FieldDescriptor *field = msg->GetDescriptor()->FindFieldByName("params");



                if( field )

                {

                        msg->GetReflection()->AddString(msg, field, "");

                        msg->GetReflection()->AddString(msg, field, "");

                        msg->GetReflection()->AddString(msg, field, "");

                        msg->GetReflection()->AddString(msg, field, "");

                }

        

                usermsgs->EndMessage();                

        }

}

NOTE: you'll have to link the libprotobuf.lib/a file, and you'll also need to include some additional source and header files for the linking to work, all of this can be found on the HL2SDK for CSGO, provided by the AlliedModders team. for the source files you can just need these:

Code:

public/engine/protobuf/netmessages.pb.cc 

public/game/shared/csgo/protobuf/cstrike15_usermessages.pb.cc

public/game/shared/csgo/protobuf/cstrike15_usermessage_helpers.cpp

Also, for winows you'll have to compile libprotobuf yourself.
