client_print_color

Syntax

native client_print_color(index, sender, const message[], any:...);

Usage

Client index, use 0 to display to all clients

Client index used as the message sender

Formatting rules

Variable number of formatting parameters

Description

Sends colored chat messages to clients.

Note

This only works in Counter-Strike 1.6 and Condition Zero.

Note

The colors can be modified inside of the format string using special
characters. These characters can be included using the escape character
   green           x04   ; use location color from this point forward
   red/blue/grey   x03   ; use team color from this point forward
   red/blue/grey   x02   ; use team color to the end of the client name
                         ; This only works at the start of the string,
                         ; and precludes using other control characters
   default         x01   ; use default color from this point forward

Note

The team color is defined by the sender's index. Alternatively, a
specific team color can be enforced using the print_team_* constants in
amxconst.inc

Note

Usage examples:
client_print_color(id, print_team_red, "^4Green ^3Red ^1Default")
client_print_color(id, id2, "^4Green ^3id2's team color, ^1Default")

Note

Including colors in ML can be done using the same escaping method:
EXAMPLE_ML_KEY = ^4Green ^3Team color ^1Default

Note

This functions return value behaves differently depending on what is
used as the client index: If 0 is specified, then the function will
return 0 if nothing has been sent (no client connected). If either a
single client is specified, or there is at least one client connected,
the number of printed characters will refer to the message that is sent
last, to the client with the highest index.

Return

Number of printed characters

Error

If a single client is specified and the index is not within
the range of 1 to MaxClients, an error will be thrown.
