void WriteByte(float type, float cmd)
Usage
Writes an unsigned byte to the current network message. This is often used to denote that a server command has started, but some server commands also expect a byte as an argument.
Parameters
- type
- The type of network message to write to. Can be one of the following:
MSG_BROADCAST
- Send a message to every client, not caring if they receive it. This is best used for things that have no affect on the gameplay state e.g. temp entities.
MSG_ONE
- Send a message to a single client. The client it's sent to is stored in the msg_entity global. Guarantees the client receives it.
MSG_ALL
- Similar to
MSG_BROADCASTbut it guarantees every client receives it.
- cmd
- The server command to run. Any of the internal svc_* constants will work, but the default exposed ones are:
SVC_TEMPENTITYSVC_KILLEDMONSTERSVC_FOUNDSECRETSVC_INTERMISSIONSVC_FINALESVC_CDTRACKSVC_SELLSCREEN
Example
// Whenever this trigger is activated, marks that a secret was found
void UseSecretTrigger()
{
++found_secrets;
WriteByte(MSG_ALL, SVC_FOUNDSECRET);
self.use = __NULL__;
}
