Notes

• This command exists in EventScripts v1.1 or higher.
• This menu style only works in Counter-Strike: Source and Day of Defeat: Source.
• While a menu is in front of a player, if they hit a number key (e.g. 1, 2, 3, etc.) then the client command "menuselect 1" will be sent from the user. This allows you to use the es_client_command event to capture selections they make from the menu.
• This command is very similar to Mani's ma_msay command.
• By typing a "->" before numbers you can make the orange and mark the as a option. They will blink if somebody presses them. This will only work before numbers from 1-9
