Hi guys! I have this simple code:

PHP Code:

    SetHudTextParams(10.0,10.0, 1.0, 0,255,0,255);
    ShowSyncHudText() 


But I do not know how to show the hudmessage to everyone. In Pawn I can do just simply

PHP Code:

ShowSyncHudText(0,myhandle, "Welcome") 


0 instead of clientID, and it would show it to everyone. Does it work this way also in SourcePawn?

loop all players

PHP Code:

for (int i = 1; i <= MAXPLAYERS + 1; i++)
    {
        if(IsValidClient(i))
        {
            ShowSyncHudText(i,myhandle, "Welcome")  
        }
    }

I was Thinking about that. Thank you.
And, IsValidClient is not working for me. (SM 1.9).

I highly suggest using this instead:

PHP Code:

for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
{
    if(IsClientInGame(i))
    {
        ShowSyncHudText(i,myhandle, "Welcome")  
    }
} 


IsValidClient isn't a stock SourceMod function and can be a bad practice because what counts as a valid client is going to depend entirely on what you're doing.

Yes you are right. Thank you very much!

That's doesn't matter anyway, IsValidClient is will not show for bots, IsClientInGame will show to everyone that are fully connected into the game

Again, IsValidClient isn't part of SourceMod, so what it does depends entirely on how you code it in your plugin.

Fixing it so it doesn't try to send to bots is just a matter of changing

PHP Code:

if(IsClientInGame(i)) 


to

PHP Code:

if(IsClientInGame(i) && !IsFakeClient(i))

Actually IsValidClient wont do anything since it'll error the compile since the code wasn't shared with the part that is using the stock.

oh boy here comes the IsValidClient rant.

Most of the time your IsValidClient is just doing IsClientInGame, and the other functions are returning false, like PowerLord said, it all depends on what exactly you're doing. Might as well make the IsValidClient a #define instead if you're that in love with it.
