say_hud 

Usage:
/say_hud (options) text

Description:
       The /say_hud command echos the given text on a user's HUD, if possible. In Halflife, HUD messages are erased on death. Also, using the same channel for a message before the last one has completed will result in unreliable duration of the message.
