Print via Server

[lorde banana]

I know I've been creating a lot of topics, and if I have one more question, I'll just start a topic where I can ask everything.

Anyway, I want to be able to echo/print something to an admin's console via a server script.

If I can't do this, how would I go about doing it?

[ZpankR]

[lua]
function PrintToAdmins(txt)
for k, ply in pairs(player.GetAll())do
if ply:IsAdmin() then
ply:ChatPrint(txt)
end
end
end
[/lua]

Thanks, but I don't want a chat print, I want to print to their console only.

Oh sorry, wait

[lua]
function PrintToAdmins(txt)
for k, ply in pairs(player.GetAll())do
if ply:IsAdmin() then
ply:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCONSOLE,txt)
end
end
end
[/lua]

or something like that. :buddy:

this may be what you want.
NOTE: the text size can only be 255 bytes max

[lua]
AddCSLuaFile(" this script name .lua")

if SERVER then
function ConsolePrint(admin, text)
umsg.Start( "admin_print", admin )
umsg.String(text)
umsg.End()
end
end

if CLIENT then
usermessage.Hook( "admin_print", function( um )
local str = um:ReadString()
Msg(str)
end)
end
[/lua]

ZpankR's code does the same thing pretty much.

I'd rather not run into limits, but I had a feeling you could do it with UMsgs.

Thank you all very much!

[lua]function PrintToAdmins( message )
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll())do
if v:IsAdmin() or v:IsSuperAdmin() then
v:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCONSOLE, message)
end
end
end

PrintToAdmins("HELLLO!")[/lua]

in test.lua, doesn't do anything. doing the following does

[lua]for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
v:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCONSOLE, "HELLO!")
end[/lua]

no errors in the function...
