I would just set it once and keep it static or make it global.

Yes, make it global would be the most efficent. On you saying it I would just set it once and keep it static will not work propertly. The reason behind this is that you can't do.

static SayText = get_user_msgid("SayText");

and if you do this.

static SayText;
SayText = get_user_msgid("SayText"); // Then this will still called the native over every time you call the function. 

There is only two ways too do this want to do of efficiency. Too do it global or the way I did it because if I did it the way you were saying at first then I would just do it the way below.

message_begin(MSG_ONE, get_user_msgid("SayText"), {0, 0, 0}, id)

teame06's usage is correct ;) the "don't check if set" rule doesn't apply if skipping the check is less expensive than actually setting.

I'd still keep it global -.-. Anyways, I'm not going to argue/debate anymore over something this small, I just like picking at others people code, wish I would have the ability to do that to my own code.

I don't know whether my finding are new or not but if you want to expand this to be able to type, for example, in red for CT you can specify T-player index as the first message argument. Of course at least one T-player on the server needed for that.

@ VEN

I knew about it but I didn't want to add it since it requires the player index of a player on the terrorist team or counter-terrorist. Since it informational I have added it at the bottom as extra info. Thanks

u can also pick a random player and then use TeamInfo event to "transfer" him into the desired team, do the SayText event and then "transfer" him back
this way u can do all of the colors whenever u want to (tho only one teamcolor per line ofc)

p3tsin: i tryed cs_set_user_team but it didn't worked instantly (about 5 x PreThinks), didn't thought about TeamInfo, nice finding.

Updated.

Usable colors now are Grey, Green, Red, Blue, Yellow or team color. Check the new Screen shots too see how the colors look like


Commands to see the colors are since there two many lines to print at once:
say /test
say /test2
