It will look like this.

If("multiplayer.flags.online")
{
Bind("Alt Numpad1", "multiplayer.cmd.a I need an HQ!");
Bind("Alt Numpad2", "multiplayer.cmd.a Lend me your Sarge.");
Bind("Alt Numpad3", "multiplayer.cmd.a I need plastic!");
Bind("Alt Numpad4", "multiplayer.cmd.a I need electricity!");
Bind("Alt Numpad5", "multiplayer.cmd.a I need help over here!");
Bind("Alt Numpad6", "multiplayer.cmd.a Sorry.");
Bind("Alt Numpad7", "multiplayer.cmd.a Build defenses here.");
Bind("Alt Numpad8", "multiplayer.cmd.a Let's attack now!");
Bind("Alt Numpad9", "multiplayer.cmd.a My airstrike is ready.");
}
To modify what will be printed for each keybind, replace the text inside the quotation marks as such:
- multiplayer.cmd.broadcast YOUR TEXT HERE
The text in green corresponds to which players you send the message to. You can adjust it to one of the following: (MUST BE EXACT)
- multiplayer.cmd.broadcast - Send this message to all players.
- multiplayer.cmd.me - Send this message to all players and highlight it.
- multiplayer.cmd.a - Send this message to your allies only.
- multiplayer.cmd.e - Send this message to your enemies only.
The text in orange corresponds to the text that will be printed in the chat.
Once you've adjusted the file to your liking, save it in the ANSI format. This step is important if you are sending messages in a language other than English.
