    I started a few accounts that can be used for icons in chat messages.

    Example usage:
    Code:
    rust.BroadcastChat(null, "Follow us on Twitter @OxideMod for updates!", "76561198127163614");
    Code:
    rust.BroadcastChat(nil, "Follow us on Twitter @OxideMod for updates!", "76561198127163614")

    Wish there was a way to do that OTHER than making a steam account... I mean I would think steam would delete accounts that haven't had a game within a couple months or something.... lol Or idk... Nice idea though! :)

    Yeah its sad that you need to have a Steam Account with Rust to use symbols.

    I usually toss a penny game into the accounts. The accounts I use are accounts that used to have more purpose.

    That happens if you aren't logged into Steam Friends. It is the same with any icons in Rust.

    That's how Rust works, so if it isn't working, then no idea.

    Can't seem to figure it out

    Code:
    rust.BroadcastChat("Follow us on Twitter @OxideMod for updates!", nil, "76561198127163614")
    That is C#?

    The only Lua in there is the nil, which you can replace with null for C#.
    Code:
    rust.BroadcastChat("Follow us on Twitter @OxideMod for updates!", null, "76561198127163614");

    Code:
    rust.BroadcastChat("Follow us on Twitter @OxideMod for updates!", null, "76561198127163614");
    That should work on C#?

    How to make that this message is sent only to the person who entered the command / help?

    Code:
    using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Oxide.Game.Rust.Libraries;
using Oxide.Core.Plugins;
using System.Linq;
using Oxide.Core;
using System;namespace Oxide.Plugins
{
    [Info("Help Plugin", "Xhonor", "1.0.0")]    class HelpInfo : RustPlugin
    {
        [ChatCommand("help")]
        void TestCommand(BasePlayer player, string command, string[] args)
        {
            rust.BroadcastChat("Hello", null, "76561197962021169");
        }
    }
}
    [DOUBLEPOST=1458768272][/DOUBLEPOST]
    Prompt please)
