Is it possible to send console messages "like when you use the echo command" to every player on a server? Is it also possible to make this command only available to HLDS? I do not want anything to appear in the console other than the message.

Is there anyway to implement those into your own mod? I thought those only worked with certain mods.

You can print to console using:

UTIL_ClientPrintAll(HUD_PRINTCONSOLE, "your message here\n");

You can also loop over all players and use:

CLIENT_PRINTF(client, print_console, "your message here\n");

The first method goes through the client dll first, the second goes through the engine.

Thank you! This seems to be exactly what I need.
