HalfLife's Code is BLUE
Pongles's Code is RED
Pongles's Commentary is GREEN

This tut will show you how to make spectators stop seeing what alive people are saying and vice-vesa.
just replace Host_Say with this:


// Pongles [
void Host_Say( edict_t *pEntity, int teamonly )
{
CBasePlayer *client;
int j;
char *p;
char text[128];
char szTemp[256];
const char *cpSay = "say";
const char *cpSayTeam = "say_team";
const char *pcmd = CMD_ARGV(0);

CBasePlayer *pSendingPlayer = GetClassPtr((CBasePlayer*)VARS(pEntity));

// We can get a raw string now, without the "say " prepended
if ( CMD_ARGC() == 0 )
return;

if ( !stricmp( pcmd, cpSay) || !stricmp( pcmd, cpSayTeam ) )
{
if ( CMD_ARGC() >= 2 )
{
p = (char *)CMD_ARGS();
}
else
{
// say with a blank message, nothing to do
return;
}
}
else // Raw text, need to prepend argv[0]
{
if ( CMD_ARGC() >= 2 )
{
sprintf( szTemp, "%s %s", ( char * )pcmd, (char *)CMD_ARGS() );
}
else
{
// Just a one word command, use the first word...sigh
sprintf( szTemp, "%s", ( char * )pcmd );
}
p = szTemp;
}

// remove quotes if present
if (*p == ''"'')
{
p++;
p[strlen(p)-1] = 0;
}

// make sure the text has content
for ( char *pc = p; pc != NULL && *pc != 0; pc++ )
{
if ( isprint( *pc ) && !isspace( *pc ) )
{
pc = NULL; // we''ve found an alphanumeric character, so text is valid
break;
}
}

if ( pc != NULL )
return; // no character found, so say nothing

/*
client = NULL;

client = (CBasePlayer*)UTIL_FindEntityByClassname( client, "player" );
*/

// turn on color set 2 (color on, no sound)
if (teamonly && pSendingPlayer->m_iDead == 1)
sprintf( text, "%c*DEAD* (TEAM) %s: ", 2, STRING( pEntity->v.netname ) );
else if (pSendingPlayer->m_iDead == 1)
sprintf( text, "%c*DEAD* %s: ", 2, STRING( pEntity->v.netname ) );
else if ( teamonly )
sprintf( text, "%c(TEAM) %s: ", 2, STRING( pEntity->v.netname ) );
else
sprintf( text, "%c%s: ", 2, STRING( pEntity->v.netname ) );

j = sizeof(text) - 2 - strlen(text); // -2 for /n and null terminator
if ( (int)strlen(p) > j )
p[j] = 0;

strcat( text, p );
strcat( text, "\n" );

// loop through all players
// Start with the first player.
// This may return the world in single player if the client types something between levels or during spawn
// so check it, or it will infinite loop

client = NULL;
while ( ((client = (CBasePlayer*)UTIL_FindEntityByClassname( client, "player" )) != NULL) && (!FNullEnt(client->edict())) )
{
if ( !client->pev )
continue;

if ( client->edict() == pEntity )
continue;

if( !(pSendingPlayer->m_iDead == client->m_iDead))
continue;

if ( !(client->IsNetClient()) ) // Not a client ? (should never be true)
continue;

if ( teamonly && g_pGameRules->PlayerRelationship(client, CBaseEntity::Instance(pEntity)) != GR_TEAMMATE )
continue;

MESSAGE_BEGIN( MSG_ONE, gmsgSayText, NULL, client->pev );
WRITE_BYTE( ENTINDEX(pEntity) );
WRITE_STRING( text );
MESSAGE_END();
}

// print to the sending client
MESSAGE_BEGIN( MSG_ONE, gmsgSayText, NULL, &pEntity->v );
WRITE_BYTE( ENTINDEX(pEntity) );
WRITE_STRING( text );
MESSAGE_END();

// echo to server console
g_engfuncs.pfnServerPrint( text );

char * temp;
if ( teamonly )
temp = "say_team";
else
temp = "say";

// team match?
if ( g_teamplay )
{
UTIL_LogPrintf( "\"%s<%i><%u><%s>\" %s \"%s\"\n",
STRING( pEntity->v.netname ),
GETPLAYERUSERID( pEntity ),
GETPLAYERWONID( pEntity ),
g_engfuncs.pfnInfoKeyValue( g_engfuncs.pfnGetInfoKeyBuffer( pEntity ), "model" ),
temp,
p );
}
else
{
UTIL_LogPrintf( "\"%s<%i><%u><%i>\" %s \"%s\"\n",
STRING( pEntity->v.netname ),
GETPLAYERUSERID( pEntity ),
GETPLAYERWONID( pEntity ),
GETPLAYERUSERID( pEntity ),
temp,
p );
}
}
// Pongles ]


and then create a var "m_iDead" that is set to 1 when ur dead.

isn''t that easy?
