[E2] Global Print

Description
This extension allows you to easily broadcast messages to everyone on the server.

Features
  • Allows you to globally print messages
  • Allows you to print messages to a certain player
  • Allows colored messages so you can have all the rainbox text you want
  • Supports type formatting

Permissions
In the admin mod of your choice enable GlobalPrint permissions for whoever you want to be able to use this

Functions
broadcastMessage(...)
Takes a variable amount of arguments and prints them to chat.

broadcastMessage(array)
Same as the above function but takes an array instead.

entity:printMessage(...)
Same as the functions above but instead only prints to this entity.

entity:printMessage(array)
Same as the above function but takes an array instead.

Note: This extension has to be enabled to work

Note: Argument limit for both arrays and varargs is 255, this is because the size of the message is sent using an unsigned byte. If enough people request this be raised I'll look into it.

Note: When using arrays as arguments you may lose some type data. This is because array data structures don't carry type id.

Note: The `vec` type defines colors, if a vector is out of bounds for it to be a color (i.e. under 0, or over 255 on any element) it is formatted and included in the message

Issues
Please report issues here[github.com], it allows for easier management

Requests
If you want a a certain type to be automatically formatted make a new issue here[github.com].

Final Notes
This extension is disabled by default, meaning that you'll have to enable it for it to work.

If you're afriad someone is using this to impersionate someone else, look in console. Whenever someone sends out a message you'll get a print out in console in the format of,

Player <name> <steamid> said: message

This'll allow you to see who sent the message.
