# Broadcaster

Broadcaster allows you to create text and messages that appears at the top of a player's screen, usually for mechanical purposes, like giving a hint to a puzzle or warning messages for players leaving a battle arena before they're respawned for chickening out.

Messages can be broadcast to just the player who activated them, everyone in the game, or everyone but the triggering player.

* **Message** - what appears to the players. Can be as long or short as you'd like.<br>
* **Include triggering player's name** **-** does the player who activated the message have their name displayed before the main text or not?
  * E.g.: **Player** has been killed // **Player** ponders the orb // **Player**, do you know you're a legend? // etc.
