PrintGlobal

PrintGlobal wiki

Main info

This is a sub-addon in VExtensions, it adds several functions that allow you to print to other people's chat with different colors, etc. It behaves similarly to chat.AddText, except you can align colors and strings in any order. You are warned in your console when someone is printing to your chat, there is a limit in number of characters, number of arguments and there is a limit to how many times you can print in a second.

Here are the convars: printglobal_charmax_sv (By default 350 characters) printglobal_argmax_sv (By default 50 args) printglobal_burst_sv (By default 4 per second)
