    @Wickid_Splat Hi mate,

    I think this should help you.
    You should be able to do the same thing as this guy is showing.
    You’ll just need to adjust the code to display a message upon dying, or whenever you want the message to display.

@Wickid_Splat Hi mate,
I suspect you’ll need to set a message using the rules editor.
I think there is a “block” you can use on the editor that is called “match message” or something like that.

Use the search bar at the top of the rules editor page to make it easier to find.

Enter something like “message” and it’ll call up anything message related.

    It won’t be as straight forward as entering your message though.

    you'll need to make a code string to get a message to broadcast correctly

      Hi, do you have a link to teach me how to write a code string, i am a php programmer, but code strings for the game are new to me. When i click on rules editor at the bottom of the tree it does nothing, its not a link like the rest of the portal tree is.     Is the code it just a DOS command or HTML string ?

      Ok i found a resource...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQthH64fIA8

        @Wickid_Splat Hi mate,

        You may be over complicating things.
        First thing to bear in mind, the rules editor is only accessible for the following portal game modes/ servers:
        Free For All
        TDM
        Vehicle TDM
        and the new Custom Conquest game mode.

        For all the other portal game modes, the rules editor is not available and will be “greyed out” and can’t be used.

        For the above mentioned game modes where the editor IS available, click on the rules editor to get started.
        You will have to use the pre-determined logic blocks to construct various settings/ rules etc.
        It’s a bit confusing and you’ll need some understanding of coding language.

        I’m in no way an expert and I have only managed to fumble through things by trial and error.
        You will see a warning icon if you put blocks together that don’t connect.
        You can also right click on any block and it will give you a brief “help” description of what the block does.

        There are YouTube videos that may help.

        I have also tried to get a message to broadcast upon entering one of my servers but so far I have not been successful.
        I haven’t spent very long on it so I will have another go when I have time.
