msg

Parameters

"text"

Info

Sends "text" as server message to all players. It will be displayed in the chat area of the screen (bottom left).
You can start "text" with an RGB color code "©RRRGGGBBB" to change its color. (use a colorpicker to get the values)

It's also possible to display the text at the center of the screen. Just end "text" with "@C" (read: at center) to do so!

Sample 1: Showing a text

msg("hello, world")

Sample 2: Showing a green text (note that there is no space behind the color tag)

Sample 3: Showing a text at the center of the screen

msg("This text is displayed at the center@C")

Note: You can prefix the text with "UTF-8:" to pass encoded UTF-8 strings to this function. Use this tool to encode strings!
