Ahhh, I'm assuming from your code that AcceptEntityInput(entity, "Display") would cause the same entity to display the message a second time. That's good to know.

Gross..

This does not qualify as constructive feedback, and is rather rude.

PHP Code:

 switch(color) 
        { 
            case 2: DispatchKeyValue(entity, "background", "3"); //also i think you did this one wrong lol
            case 3: DispatchKeyValue(entity, "background", "3"); 
            default: DispatchKeyValue(entity, "background", "3"); 
        }

Testing right now!

Yeah, it'd be interesting to see if I could figure out how to get this into FF2...

Does it work with "%s" "clientname" stuff? Wanting to use these messages in my rare item drop plugin for when a player nabs one of the rare drop gifts.

You will have to use Format() to process that stuff before passing the formatted string to this function.

I put it in for XXX became boss. But it only supports 1 newline character because the box doesn't resize, and there are not many icons that fit into the space since most are offset. Also, it will flash / they will overlap each other if you have multiple.

Example? because I've tried my best and this Format thing is kicking my ass.

PHP Code:

decl String:someString[64];
Format(someString, sizeof(someString), "This client's name is %N, and he has %i cats.", client, numberOfCats);

I wrote this on a phone, you should be sending the usermessage anyway, not spawning the entity.

This should do:

PHP Code:

CreateTFHNmessage(const String:message[], const String:icon[]="leaderboard_streak", team = 0, color = 0)
{
    static UserMsg:HudNotifyCustom = INVALID_MESSAGE_ID;
    if(HudNotifyCustom == INVALID_MESSAGE_ID)
    {
        HudNotifyCustom = GetUserMessageId("HudNotifyCustom");
    }

    decl targets[MaxClients];
    new count;
    for(new i=1; i<=MaxClients; i++)
    {
        if(IsClientInGame(i))
        {
            if(team)
            {
                if(GetClientTeam(i) != team)
                {
                    continue;
                }
            }
            targets[count] = i;
            count++;
        }
    }
    
    if(count)
    {
        new Handle:bf = StartMessageEx(HudNotifyCustom, targets, count);
        BfWriteString(bf, message);
        BfWriteString(bf, icon);
        BfWriteByte(bf, color);

        EndMessage();
    }
}
