Sprint

From QuakeQEWiki

Sprint is a quake-c engine function that prints text to an entity. Most often it is used by the default game code to print text to the player or to players connected to a multiplayer game.

In the 2021 release the output of sprint is mirrored in the console log file

Defs.qc Declaration

void(entity client, string s) sprint = #24;

Notes

On a locally hosted game sprint seems to be able to react to 4 calls per 'frame' per entity(?) - meaning that if you call sprint more than 4 times in a row some of the text will probably disappear or otherwise not make it to the screen. Note that this has nothing to do how much text is shown, only the number of function calls.
