Hi I made a simple plugin yesterday to show a message for each client every 0.5s using this function in smlib <Client_PrintKeyHintText> and I made an option in !settings so the client can disable it, it was working just fine later these problems come up:

spam in console: Netchannel: failed reading message svc_usermessage <serverip>
and the server starts kicking the players

PHP Code:

    for (int i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
    {
        if(IsClientConnected(i) && IsClientInGame(i) && g_bClientPrefDisplay[i])
        {
            Client_PrintKeyHintText(i, "%t", "Servers");
        }
    } 


in smlib include

PHP Code:

/**
 * Prints white text to the right-center side of the screen
 * for one client. Does not work in all games.
 * Line Breaks can be done with "\n".
 * 
 * @param client        Client Index.
 * @param format        Formatting rules.
 * @param ...            Variable number of format parameters.
 * @return                True on success, false if this usermessage doesn't exist.
 */
stock bool:Client_PrintKeyHintText(client, const String:format[], any:...)
{
    new Handle:userMessage = StartMessageOne("KeyHintText", client);
    
    if (userMessage == INVALID_HANDLE) {
        return false;
    }

    decl String:buffer[254];

    SetGlobalTransTarget(client);
    VFormat(buffer, sizeof(buffer), format, 3);

    if (GetFeatureStatus(FeatureType_Native, "GetUserMessageType") == FeatureStatus_Available
        && GetUserMessageType() == UM_Protobuf) {

        PbSetString(userMessage, "hints", buffer);
    }
    else {
        BfWriteByte(userMessage, 1); 
        BfWriteString(userMessage, buffer); 
    }

    EndMessage();
    
    return true;
} 


any idea how to make this work? I can't use Client_PrintKeyHintTextToAll because of client specific requirements.

maybe not a pluging error ?
"Client_PrintKeyHintText" only create a hinttext usermessage for player , which you can do the same work in your plugins , and there is no code about kick client .

check server setting maybe helpful .

...you are flooding client with those messages. That is why they get kicked.

I set the timer to 0.5 is that the reason? I mean if I set it to 2 or 3 seconds, that should fix the problem?

PHP Code:

public OnClientPutInServer(client)
{
    CreateTimer(0.5, PrintToHintHud, client, TIMER_REPEAT);
}
