How to [action here] to every player?

Mr.D · **Author**

Hi!

How to perform a certain action (for example, play a sound) to everyone on the server? I tried to look at "sm_play" example but it's not exactly what I need. It uses command's arguments for targets, but I don't want to target specific players in command's arguments. I want a sound to play for everyone on the server, without specifying target's name. Just to everyone. How would I do that in a script?

P.S.
With text it's not a problem, just "PrintToChatAll" and everyone will see that without specifying each person as an argument.

Edit:
More info on what exactly I'm looking for.
I want to show a notification in chat (done) and then play a sound to everyone on the server as soon as that message shows up. How to play a sound to everyone on the server? NOTICE: the plugin shows that notification alone, I don't use a command for it like "/notification Person1, Person2, Person3". So I don't target specific people. It shows to everyone and the sound needs to be played to everyone too.

"sm_play @all" should do that.

otherwise you'd want to loop over all the client indices, like

Code:

for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; ++i)
{
	if (!IsClientInGame(i))
		continue;
	
	ServerCommand("sm_play %N", i);
}

Yes, "sm_play @all" works when I type this command on my server. But will this work from a script? Anyway, I'll try both ways later and let you know. Thanks.

Edit:
Both ways work great. Thank you very much.

You do remember it's extremely unsafe to pass a client's name to ServerCommand correct?

Changes name to ";exit" ... server shut down.

oh yeahhh i was thinking there was something wrong with that as i was writing it but couldn't remember what. good catch!

I'm aware of things like that and in my case it's not a problem because it's a VIP plugin which is used by very trusted people only and on my server only

They don't even know things like that to be able to do those tricks

But good note anyway.

P.S.
I used "sm_play @all" way though.
