Some quick and dirty stock for it, as i find it useful to debug stuff.

PHP Code:

stock int SpawnFormattedWorldText(const char format[128], const int textSize = 10, const float origin[3], any ...) {
    int ent = CreateEntityByName("point_worldtext");
    if(IsValidEdict(ent)) {
        char myFormattedString[512];
        VFormat(myFormattedString, sizeof(myFormattedString), format, 4);
        
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "message", myFormattedString);
        IntToString(textSize, myFormattedString, sizeof(myFormattedString));
        DispatchKeyValue(ent, "textsize", myFormattedString);
        DispatchSpawn(ent);
        TeleportEntity(ent, origin, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
    }
    return ent;
}

stock int SpawnWorldText(const char text[512], const int textSize = 10, const float origin[3]) {
    return SpawnFormattedWorldText("%s", textSize, origin, text);
}

Isn't this just a glorified version of the old point_message entity?

[Kinsi]

game_text displays text on the screen, kind of like HudMsg does. This one has the text actually displayed at the origin of the entity with a fixed rotation, size, color, etc as well as allowing for parenting.

[zipcore]

This one has color and rotation support. Keep in mind the text is NOT centered. The First char starts where you teleport it!

PHP Code:

stock int Point_WorldText(float fPos[3], float fAngles[3], char[] sText = "Source 2 Engine?", iSize = 10,  int r = 255, int g = 255, int b = 255, any ...)
{
    int iEntity = CreateEntityByName("point_worldtext");
    
    if(iEntity == -1)
        return iEntity;
    
    char sBuffer[512];
    VFormat(sBuffer, sizeof(sBuffer), sText, 8);
    DispatchKeyValue(iEntity,     "message", sBuffer);
    
    char sSize[4];
    IntToString(iSize, sSize, sizeof(sSize));
    DispatchKeyValue(iEntity,     "textsize", sSize);
    
    char sColor[11];
    Format(sColor, sizeof(sColor), "%d %d %d", r, g, b);
    DispatchKeyValue(iEntity,     "color", sColor);
    
    TeleportEntity(iEntity, fPos, fAngles, NULL_VECTOR);
    
    return iEntity;
}

Sorry, meant point_message that was used in hl2 dev mode: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Point_message
Also csgo will probably never be created on Source2, however they can still move stuff from source2 to csgo's engine, it will truly never be Source2

[zipcore]

You are right but point_message has no size & color support
