say2 GS2?

[Angel_Light]

How do I use say2 in GS2 style like

PHP Code:

say2 #i(head0.png,0,64,32,32) : Hi there; 


How would I transfer that into GS2?

PHP Code:

say2("#i(head0.png,0,64,32,32) : Hi there"); 


I think that should work... I don't think they converted sign codes over to GS2.

They probably mean to phase out say2.

@ Dusty - no I tried that it doesn't work.

@ Chris - Why, because of GUI s?

That's what I'm imagining; I never liked say2 much from the start anyway.

[Angel_Light]

Why? I like it for the simplicity.

There is no need to phase out say2... it's basically the sign system and they CAN'T do away with that.

Well, perhaps it could be remade. Imagine that it makes a GUI with custom profiles to look like that, only easier to customize. I've always found that it doesn't auto line-break to be quite annoying as well.

EDIT:

You can do this I know:

PHP Code:

say2(
        "hi" NL
        "blah" NL
        "foo"
      ); 


I wonder if HTML tags would work at all? I seriously doubt it, but I guess it's worth a try.

Heh, there are a lot of annoying things about say2... but almost every server uses them(I can't think of many servers that have custom sign systems), and I think every classic server definitely does.

I wouldn't argue against Stefan converting them to GUI... but I doubt that will ever happen.

As for the original problem... I honestly don't know. I can't find anything on the wiki, but have you tried something like:

PHP Code:

say2(#i("head0.png",0,64,32,32) @ " hello there"); 


?
Oh, and Chris brings up a good point, try html("<img src='head0.png'>") and see what that nets you.

I didn't think of this, you'd still have to be able to crop it.

They didn't, you're right, that is supposed to work.

Then you did it wrong, try again.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerTouchsme() {
  say2("#i(head0.png,0,64,32,32) : Hi there");
} 


[DustyPorViva]

Heh, Tig beat me to it. I just tested it myself and it works fine.

[Angel_Light]

when I do it, it literally just shows that text #i(head.png,0,64,32,32)

[DustyPorViva]

Shows a head for me :/ dunno what to tell you.

If I were you, I'd make a support ticket and ask Stefan to upgrade your playerworld's GServer.
