I have a timer that updates every seconds so i cant use chat because it will overflood

[Mathias.]

Okay I understand the concept, here you go:

PHP Code:

// Original message
new String:szText[512] = "hello:\n\n";
// Loop throw all players
for(new i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++) 
{
    if(IsClientInGame(i))
    {
        GetClientName(i, AdminNames, sizeof(AdminNames));
        // Format the admin name + the next line (\n)
        decl String:szTextAppend[512];
        Format(szTextAppend, sizeof(szTextAppend), "%s\n", AdminNames);
        // Append szTextAppend to the original message (szText) to get it update
        StrCat(szText, sizeof(szText), szTextAppend);
        // Send the message
        BfWriteByte(hBuffer, 1);
        BfWriteString(hBuffer, szText);
        EndMessage(); 
    }
}

A few things I want to point out:

1) Why is AdminNames being used when it's clearly looping through all players?
2) No point using GetClientName when %N (paired with i) works in the Format function.
2) Messages can only go up to 192 characters I think.
4) You have not assigned hBuffer (including other variables), nor even started the usermessage. Why leave scripts incomplete?
5) You have not used the right format for usermessage.
6) Unless he wants team-colored chat, why is this even being used?
7) Why is ecca so woefully laconic when trying to describe what he wants?

One or more of these points may be inaccurate, so apologies for any misunderstandings.

What's against using a panel like the l4drdyup-plugin does?

11530 is right on some points so here the updated code:

PHP Code:

// Original message
new String:szText[192] = "hello:\n\n";
// Loop throw all players
for(new i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++) 
{
    if(IsClientInGame(i))
    {
        decl String:szTextAppend[192];
        Format(szTextAppend, sizeof(szTextAppend), "%N\n", i);
        // Append szTextAppend to the original message (szText) to get it update
        StrCat(szText, sizeof(szText), szTextAppend);
        // Send the message
        BfWriteByte(hBuffer, 1);
        BfWriteString(hBuffer, szText);
        EndMessage(); 
    }
} 


For the usermessage style, he's probaly writing a keyhintmessage and start it before the loop. That why he is using usermessage style instead of chat, hud, topleft, or center message.

He only show a part of the script because is there where he got a problem with the script and he told us it work, just the part of the format overwrite always the old one instead of appending it to the original message. It is more clean and we do not need the rest of the code to help him out.

Thank you 11530 to point out those facts.

Ecca please give us news about it and if everything is alright.

Could be a bit crazy, but...

PHP Code:

#pragma semicolon 1
#include <sourcemod>

#define ISCLIENTREADY (1<<0)

new g_iClientStates[MAXPLAYERS+1];

public OnPluginStart()
{
    PrintToFun();
}

public PrintToFun()
{
    decl iPlayerArray[MAXPLAYERS+1];
    new iNumPlayers;
    
    decl String:szText[512];
    strcopy(szText, sizeof(szText), "Waiting for Players");
    
    for (new i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
    {
        if ((g_iClientStates[i] & ISCLIENTREADY) || !IsClientInGame(i))
        {
            continue;
        }
        
        Format(szText, sizeof(szText), "%s\n%N", szText, i);
    }
    
    for (new i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
    {
        if (!IsClientInGame(i))
        {
            continue;
        }
        
        iPlayerArray[iNumPlayers] = i;
        iNumPlayers++;
    }
    
    new Handle:hBuffer = StartMessage("KeyHintText", iPlayerArray, iNumPlayers);
    BfWriteByte(hBuffer, 1);
    BfWriteString(hBuffer, szText);
    EndMessage(); 
}
