    // Collect all visible players
    CRecipientFilter MyFilter;
    MyFilter.AddRecipientsByPVS( GetAbsOrigin() );
    MyFilter.MakeReliable();

    // Tell visible players that I can see them
    CBasePlayer *pPlayer = UTIL_GetCommandClient();
    if ( pPlayer )
    {
        char *pszCanSeeMsg = "";
        V_snprintf( pszCanSeeMsg, sizeof(pszCanSeeMsg), "%s can see you!", pPlayer->GetPlayerName() );
        UTIL_SayTextFilter( MyFilter, pszCanSeeMsg, UTIL_GetCommandClient() );
    }
