I was wondering if it is possible to call an argument string in an alias, for example:

alias servermsg "rcon ui_message" $arg

Ofcourse this doesn't work but ideally I would only have to type servermsg <something> in the console to have <something> relayed as a serverwide message.

Anyone know of a way to make it work?

remember that i'm not looking for an easy way to do servermessages, I'm looking for the correct syntax to call arguments.

I think what you are looking for is "setcvar".

setcvar "mycvarname" "myvalue"

cvar is a 'console variable', i.e. a variable accessible through the console. So if you type mycvarname in the console it would bring up the message myvalue--if it was set before hand.

There is also "getcvar" and you can see a list of cvars that are already in the game by typing "cvarlist" in the console.

Hope that helps.
