Adding a prefix to chat

I've seen a number of things in SP that might allow this; but im a little lost on how they work
I was able to get it to work with this:
Syntax: Select all
@SayFilter
def _say_filter(command, index, team_only):
if index is 0:
pass
else:
msg = ' '.join(command)
sender = Player(index)
SayText2(f"PREFIX {sender.name}: {msg}").send()
return False
return True
But makes it so commands don't work. So thats obviously not ideal.
I suppose what I want, is to prehook the player send message event, and add a string on front of the thing it renders to the clients. Is this easy to do?

I would think the best way would be to use a
HookUserMessage. If you want to add colors to it, you'll likely have to build the message yourself from the values in the hook.

Nice! That does work much better:
Syntax: Select all
@HookUserMessage("SayText2")
def on_say(recpient, message_data):
if message_data['index'] == 0:
return True
sender = Player(message_data['index'])
rank = f"{WHITE}[{GOLD}Admin{WHITE}]"
message_data['message'] = f"{rank} {TEAM_COLORS[sender.team]}{sender.name}{WHITE}: {message_data['param2']}"

Bare in mind that if someone sends team or dead chat, you will change that message, too. It will still only be sent to the appropriate users, but the message will not look the same.

Ah yes, you are right.
Syntax: Select all
@HookUserMessage("SayText2")
def on_say(recpient, message_data):
if message_data['index'] == 0:
return True
rank = f"{GOLD}Admin{WHITE} |"
sender = Player(message_data['index'])
if message_data['message'] == "TF_Chat_All" or message_data['message'] == "TF_Chat_AllDead":
message_data['message'] = f"{TEAM_COLORS[sender.team]}{sender.name}{WHITE}: {message_data['param2']}"
elif message_data['message'] == "TF_Chat_Team" or message_data['message'] == "TF_Chat_Team_Dead":
message_data['message'] = f"{TEAM_COLORS[sender.team]}(TEAM) {sender.name}{WHITE}: {message_data['param2']}"

So hooking that function; this keeps happening to me maybe every few hours:
Syntax: Select all
[SP] Caught an Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "../addons/source-python/packages/source-python/messages/hooks.py", line 204, in _pre_user_message_begin
tmp_recipients = make_object(BaseRecipientFilter, args[1])
ValueError: Pointer is NULL.
This causes a fatal error that crashes srcds

Does this also happen without Metamod/Sourcemod?

Not sure; I can test that tonight. I do have a sorucemod plugin that is controlling bots and having them occasionally drop lines in chat. Maybe one of those plugins are causing an issue?
Though it seems to happen randomly and i don't know how to replicate the issue.
