Trigger hurt message

[TravisTouchdown]

I would like to know how to make a message display after someone is killed by a trigger hurt. Is there a way to do this. I dont mind if its just the dead guy or the team or the entire server, I just want a message to be displayed.

OnStartTouch -> env_text -> Display

Make a env_text entity and put in whatever text you want to be displayed.

I think Izo was thinking of game_text.

Can see (and ctrl+f to find keywords) full list of base entities here and tf2 entities here.

It is advised not to use game_text_tf as it won't show up in minimal HUD mode.

1. I make a game_text with the message I want displayed.
2. ON my trigger_hurt I make an output and make it onstarttouch
3. I make the target entity my env_text
4. I make the target input be set to display.



Yes thank you all. This works great now. I will have to toy around with the text and its color.

What I done was set a sign that says no swimming and if you jump into the lake anyways you are killed with a message that says the rocks are sharp.

If you want the text displayed only to the killed player (as in the player who started the Input/output chain) Uncheck the the "all players" flag of the game_text
