HUD Message

Current Version: 1.0

Description:
Allows an admin to send hud messages to a targeted player. phsay sends a message by name or userid. hudmessage sends a message by steamid.

Planned Features:

• None, make a request!

CVar's:
sm_hud_message_version: The version number
sm_hu_message_enable: Enables the plugin

Changelog:
1.0: Initial Release

[Jmgr]

Feature proposal :
- An ability to close the message by hitting a letter (such as C or 0)
- A menu, which can be called with sm_menu (or something else if the name is reserved). Example :
sm_menu [menu id] [steam id] [menu title] [menu option1] [menu option2] [...]
When a player chooses a selection, the plugin will produce an output in the server console like :
MENU [menu id] [steam id] [choice id]
- A complete gui with word wrapping and sliders for long messages
- The possibility to specificy the lifetime of the gui message
- The possibility to specificy the position (center, left, right, ...) of the gui message
- The possibility to send the a message/menu to all players

Question : is it possible with the source engine to show images on the gui ?

PS : Next week-end I plan to learn a bit how to code SourceMod plugins, which should not be too difficult for me as I code actively in c++ since 7 years, so I could help you for this plugin if you want

I don't believe this is possible with HUD text. A menu could have an exit option

This could be done.....but what would you do with it? The output would not be very usable.

I think you could do this with CreateDialog() but I have never tried.

Can be done with a menu but not with HUD text.

I am not sure if this is possible.

You can send a HUD message to all players already. sm_hsay in basechat

At the moment, those cannot be targeted to a specific player.

It would be for a program that is between the dedicated server and the OS, it "reads" what the server says and sends command to it. So the server console is my only source

[Req] Give us a simple chat trigger : @@@@

It would be in keeping with existing chat triggers and would save having to type two extra characters :

/phsay <name> text

@@@@ <name> text

Mainly it's so I can more easily remember the trigger.

@@@@ is more memorable than /phsay for the above reasons.

Approved, sorry for the late approval.
