//  = 0x04 (EOT) - Use location color from this point forward
//  = 0x01 (SOH) - Use normal color from this point forward

Some of those characters won't appear there. But its simple.

Code:

public plugin_init() {
    register_clcmd("test","test")
}

public test(id) {
    message_begin(MSG_ONE, get_user_msgid("SayText"), {0,0,0}, id)
    write_byte(id)
    write_string("^x03Team colored text ^x01Normal color")
    message_end()
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

The team colored text will print in red if the entindex is of a player on the T team or blue if the entindex of a player on the CT team. Otherwise it will print in white. I also noticed if you use x^04 instead for the "location color", it will print in green text. So it seems you can print text in red, blue, white, or green. That's all that is available for CS anyways. The colors don't seem to work in anything else other than the SayText message, but I could be wrong about that.

Thank you very much. It works well.
Best regards.
