System Message to Group (Ability)

Obtained in: Squad Leader >> Novice Squad Leader Type: activated ability Command: /sysgroup message Effect: Displays the given message in the center of all group members' screens. Effective tool for communicating with a group, but unfortunately system messages do not show up in your |group chat window. This command can also be used in Space to the same effect.

You can color the text of your system messages. To do so, prefix your message with a color hex code: /sysgroup \#FF0000 Form up on me! will print your message in red. For help with hex codes, see this page.

A nifty trick for automatically coloring your system messages is to use Aliases. Instead of using /sysgroup, make an alias to always print in your favorite color: /alias sg /sysgroup \#0000FF will always print your /sg messages in blue.
