echo

echo is a console command available in all GoldSrc, Source, and Source 2 games. It is used to print text into the console window. When used in tandem with scripts, the echo command can prove to be very useful in cases where you will need to debug problems.

Bug:If con_filter_enable is set to 1 and con_filter_text is not blank, a newline will not be printed.  [todo tested in ?]

Syntax

 echo <text>

Examples

 echo Hello world

Special use

When appended to a key bound to a + statement (but only directly), the key code will be appended

 bind shift “+duck; echo key :”

key : 79 will be seen in the console twice; once on press, once on release.
