EDIT: UMM WRONG SECTION! IF SOMEONE CAN MOVE THIS TO SCRIPTING HELP THAT WOULD BE GREAT, THANKS!

I want to hook cmdSay or something similar (whichever you guys think is best).
I looked at the source code of some chat manager plugins to get an idea of how to accomplish it.

Let's say I want that the player in question (ALL OF MY PLAYERS WILL HAVE <%s> [%0.2f] after their nickname %s being their assigned LETTER(SKILL) and %0.2f being their raw skill in numbers) :
Player <C+> <105.24>: blablabla
to become this:
Player: blablabla

The source code of the skill function thingy is:

PHP Code:

formatName( id, string[ ], len )  
{  
    new pos = get_user_name( id, string, len ), temp = pos, Float:skill, skill_id;
    get_user_skill( id, skill );
    skill_id =  aes_statsx_get_skill_id(skill);

    if( string[ pos - 1 ] == ']' )  
        while( pos && string[ --pos ] != '<' ) { }  
      
    if( pos != 0 && pos != temp )  
        return formatex( string[ pos ], len - pos, "<%s> [%.2f]", g_skill_letters[skill_id], skill );  
    else  
        return formatex( string, len, "%.22s <%s> [%.2f]", string, g_skill_letters[skill_id], skill );

    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE;
} 


I will use the say hook in my main pug plugin, not in the plugin that contains this function since the pug plugin is the first plugin to be loaded.

I haven't found anything of use on the internet, and on allied modders, I did use the search function but it yielded nothing, maybe I didn't search properly, dunno... Any tips/help is appreciated!

There's thousands of examples and plugins to take a look at (ultimate chat, e.g.)

Look into SayText message(that's what you should send).

Thanks, HamletEagle!
Very useful!

EDIT: For anyone looking in the future, here's how I've done what I searched for! (the "if" mess CAN BE IMPROVED, BUT I DO NOT CARE ABOUT IT THAT MUCH TBH)

PHP Code:

new sayText;

public plugin_init()
{
sayText = get_user_msgid ("SayText")
register_clcmd("say", "handle_say")
}

public handle_say(id) 
{ 
    new message[192] 
    read_args(message, 191) 
    remove_quotes(message)

    if(!message[0])
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED;

    new len;
    new name[32]
    get_user_name(id, name, 31)
    len = strlen(name);
    if (len)
    {
    name[len - 13] = 0;
    }
    new alive = is_user_alive(id) 
     
    if(alive && !is_user_admin(id)) 
        format(message, 191, "^1%s^1: %s", name, message) 
    else if(alive && is_user_admin(id))
        format(message, 191, "^1%s ^3%s^1: %s", TAG, name, message) 
    else if(!alive)
        format(message, 191, "^1*DEAD* ^3%s^1: %s", name, message)
    else if(!alive && is_user_admin(id))
        format(message, 191, "^1*DEAD* ^3%s^1: %s", name, message)
    else
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
     
    for(new i = 1; i <= MAX_PLAYERS; i++) 
    { 
        if(!is_user_connected(i)) 
            continue 
     
        if(alive && is_user_alive(i) || !alive && !is_user_alive(i)) // Prints the message 
        { 
            message_begin(MSG_ONE, g_msgid_SayText, {0, 0, 0}, i) 
            write_byte(id) 
            write_string(message) 
            message_end() 
        } 
    } 
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE 
} 


2ND EDIT: I ACTUALLY FOUND AN EVEN BETTER WAY OF DEALING WITH THIS SIMPLY JUST USE THIS STOCK TO SET "FAKE" NAMES, THEY'RE ONLY VISUAL.

PHP Code:

// From: https://dev-cs.ru/resources/189/ (CREDITS)
stock set_user_fake_name(const id, const name[])
{
    for(new i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
    {
        if(is_user_connected(i) && !is_user_hltv(i))
        {
            message_begin(MSG_ONE, SVC_UPDATEUSERINFO, _, i);
            write_byte(id - 1);
            write_long(get_user_userid(id));
            write_char('\');
            write_char('n');
            write_char('a');
            write_char('m');
            write_char('e');
            write_char('\');
            write_string(name);
            for(new i; i < 4; i++) write_long(0);
            message_end();
        }
    }
}
