<p>Remove &quot;Game Resources&quot; category</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>So you&#039;re making some code to do something, and you&#039;d like to use a chat-pane text message to inform the players about it. Good for you! Now, there&#039;s a few things to know when doing this.<br /> <br /> == Use Span Classes Goddamn ==<br /> Span classes allow for &#039;&#039;&#039;consistent&#039;&#039;&#039; and informative text formatting.<br /> <br /> You may be familiar with span classes if you have previous experience with HTML. There are various types of classes, which can all be found in interface/stylesheet.dm. Make sure to use the appropriate one for the situation!<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== When you observe someone else doing something ====<br /> &lt;pre&gt;user.visible_message(&quot;[user] begins welding [src].&quot;&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> John Smith begins welding the vent.<br /> <br /> :This one has &#039;&#039;&#039;no span class&#039;&#039;&#039;. It&#039;s when you see something mundane and boring.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== When you observe yourself doing something ====<br /> &lt;pre&gt;to_chat(user, &quot;&lt;span class=&#039;notice&#039;&gt;You begin welding the vent...&lt;/span&gt;&quot;&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;color:blue&quot;&gt;You begin welding the vent...&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> :This is a &#039;&#039;&#039;notice&#039;&#039;&#039;. Notices show up in simple blue text, and are used for benign informational messages. This notice ends with &quot;...&quot;, which implies that the action will take a period of time to complete.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== When you can&#039;t do something ====<br /> &lt;pre&gt;to_chat(user, &quot;&lt;span class=&#039;warning&#039;&gt;You can&#039;t vent crawl while you&#039;re stunned!&lt;/span&gt;&quot;&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;You can&#039;t vent crawl while you&#039;re stunned!&#039;&#039;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> :This is a &#039;&#039;&#039;warning&#039;&#039;&#039;! It shows up as simple red text, and are used for things like restriction notifications and machines malfunctioning.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== When you see someone getting hurt or something else alarming ====<br /> &lt;pre&gt;user.visible_message(&quot;&lt;span class=&#039;danger&#039;&gt;[user] was shocked by [src]!&lt;/span&gt;&quot;&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;John Smith&#039;&#039;&#039; was shocked by the door!&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> :This is &#039;&#039;&#039;danger&#039;&#039;&#039;! This is heavier red text, used in situations where someone other than yourself is being harmed or having some other potentionally harmful action taken against them, such as cuffing.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==== When you&#039;re hurt directly ====<br /> &lt;pre&gt;to_chat(target, &quot;&lt;span class=&#039;userdanger&#039;&gt;You are absorbed by the changeling!&lt;/span&gt;&quot;&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:125%;color:red&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;You are absorbed by the changeling!&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> :This is &#039;&#039;&#039;userdanger&#039;&#039;&#039;! Userdanger is used in only one situation: when the person receiving the text message is being directly harmed, such as from attacks or antagonist abilities.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Contribution guides}}</div>
