From Quake Wiki

void bprint(string msg)

Usage[edit]

Broadcasts a message to all players in the game. Messages will continue to print on the same line until a \n character is placed, allowing chaining of calls to print to the same line.

This builtin has special functionality in that it can accept an unlimited number of string arguments (with a cap of 255 characters in a string). Multiple versions of the builtin can be assigned to the same index with as many additional string arguments as needed e.g.

    void bprint3(string start, string middle, string end) = #23;

This can allow for easily inserting numbers into the middle of the string since normally this would require a chain of multiple calls to do.

bprint3("There are ", ftos(self.count), " switches remaining\n");

will display as "There are 4 switches remaining" if self.count is 4.

Parameters[edit]

  • msg
The message to display.

Example[edit]

// Print an obituary after a player dies
bprint(player.netname);
bprint(" saw an untimely demise\n");
