Routine: Message

Sends a message to the specified players. This can include interpolated variables and color codes. It is recommended that you use double quotes where you are actually defining the message to be sent.

Syntax

- 'message.{target}._messagealias'

or

- 'message.{target}': "Your &4message&f here! Hi %{target_name}!"

{target} - This can be world, server, console, or an {entity} or {player} reference from the current event. See Events.

Semantics

Color codes can be inserted with & and a hexadecimal value (0 thru 9 and a thru f). Font codes can also be inserted: random, bold, strikethrough, underline, or italic (k thru o). Various variables can be inserted into the message to tell players things about what is happening, by placing it inside %{...}. See the bullets below and the Integer Variable References page for an exhaustive list of what you can use.

• event_environment
• event_world
• {entity}_group - prints a block-noted list of player groups.
• {entity}_regions - prints a block-noted list of regions the entity is in.
• {entity}_tag - prints a block-noted list of entity tags.
• {entity}_wielding - Player or Enderman's item in hand. Otherwise returns "null".
• {player}_armorset - prints block-noted list of player's equipped armor.
