Can someone please show me how to add this function into ZP include file, along with other changes I need to make in zp core source?

[IneedHelp]

Make a native returning the stock from the plugin? hmm..

[Mlk27]

Yea something like that. Since most zp plugins use ZP include, I want the function to be included in the file as well so I could use it to add coloured messages in ZP plugins

Mercylezz, if you see this topic, could you please reply here?

at the bottom of you zombieplague.inc add

PHP Code:

stock zp_colored_print(target, const message[], any:...)
{
    static msgSayText, maxplayers;
    if ( !g_msgSayText )
        g_msgSayText = get_user_msgid("SayText");
        
    if ( !maxplayers )
        maxplayers = get_maxplayers();
        
    static buffer[512], i, argscount;
    argscount = numargs();
    
    // Send to everyone
    if (!target)
    {
        static player;
        for (player = 1; player <= maxplayers; player++)
        {
            // Not connected
            if (!is_user_connected(player))
                continue;
            
            // Remember changed arguments
            static changed[5], changedcount; // [5] = max LANG_PLAYER occurencies
            changedcount = 0;
            
            // Replace LANG_PLAYER with player id
            for (i = 2; i < argscount; i++)
            {
                if (getarg(i) == LANG_PLAYER)
                {
                    setarg(i, 0, player);
                    changed[changedcount] = i;
                    changedcount++;
                }
            }
            
            // Format message for player
            vformat(buffer, sizeof buffer - 1, message, 3);
            
            // Send it
            message_begin(MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, msgSayText, _, player);
            write_byte(player);
            write_string(buffer);
            message_end();
            
            // Replace back player id's with LANG_PLAYER
            for (i = 0; i < changedcount; i++)
                setarg(changed[i], 0, LANG_PLAYER);
        }
    }
    
    // Send to specific target
    else
    {
        // Format message for player
        vformat(buffer, sizeof buffer - 1, message, 3);
        
        // Send it
        message_begin(MSG_ONE, msgSayText, _, target);
        write_byte(target);
        write_string(buffer);
        message_end();
    }
} 


[alan_el_more]

instead of using client_print, does the following:

First adds the include colorchat, so:

PHP Code:

#include <colorchat> 


After replaces this

PHP Code:

client_print(id, print_chat, "[ZP] Hi!") 


for this:

PHP Code:

ColorChat(id, GREEN, "[ZP] ^x04HI!^x01") 


^x01 serves to start a message in yellow
^x03 serves to start a message in the color depends on your team, for example: if you are terrorist is red, CT: blue and spec: grey
^x04 serves to start a message in green

and finally download the include and place him in the folder scripting/include

[Mlk27]

I know about colorchat but my point of requesting to include the zp_colored_print in the zp include file is that so I dont need to add another include file just to have my zp plugins printed green messages

Cheers!

Do it like G-Dog said.

[Mlk27]

G-Dog, there's an error with g_maxplayers in that include.

error 017: undefined symbol "g_maxplayers"

It's because it's from ZP, so there was g_maxplayers already cause it was used for many other things. Basically you can just:

new max_players = get_maxplayers();
//Then use it in the loop
