Using Strings to collect Information

Here is the command that we are going to be working with

Code:: CMD:teleport(playerid, params[]) {
SetPlayerPos(playerid, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00);
return 1;
}

We are going to add some coding to this that will tell EVERYONE on the server that that player has teleported. But how do we do that? Here we go.

Code:: CMD:teleport(playerid, params[]) {
new
string[238]; //this signifies a new string of no more than 238 characters
name = GetName(playerid); //this signifies the players name using the name 'name'
SetPlayerPos(playerid, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00); //setes the players position to 0,0,0 on the map
format(string, sizeof(string), "%s has teleported using '/teleport'.", name); //this formats a string containing a players name(player who does the command).
SendClientMessageToAll(string); //and this sends a client message to everyone on the server that allows them to see the string.
return 1;
}

And that is a simple coding example on how you would go about using strings to send a ton of people a message containing parameters such as player names, levels, ect.
