Shout

#1 You mean like this?

//This function allows a shout for help to be made which will call the closest NPC within a given radius to help.
function ShoutForHelp(%client,%targetObject,%radius){
		%searchMasks = PlayerObjectType;
		%AI = 1;
		%helper = DoRadiusSearch(%client,%radius,%searchMasks,%AI);
		if(%helper.getClassName() $="AIPlayer"){
			%helper.setSelectedObject(%targetObject);
			schedule(2000,%targetObject,ServerCmdAutoAttack,%client);
		}
}

#2 No, like in multiplayer by pressing ctrl-1 u will say something like "follow me"

#3 You need a server command invoked by the client (take a look at how the ctrl-k stuff is done) and the server then sends out a message by a messageAll / messageTeam call.

/client/sripts/default.bind.cs:
Add something like this:

moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "ctrl 1", "commandToServer('FollowMe');", "");

/server/scripts/commands.cs:
Add something like this for a team message assuming %team is your team variable.

function serverCmdFollowMe(%client)
{
   if (isObject(%client.player))
      chatMessageTeam(%client, %team, "Dudes, follow me! I also don't know where to go! ");
}

If no team exists now, send the msg to all players out by doing this instead of ChatMessageTeam:

function serverCmdFollowMe(%client)
{
   if (isObject(%client.player))
      chatMessageAll( %client, "Dudes, follow me! I also don't know where to go! ");
}

Hope this helps.

#4 Or (if you want the acoustic version) create a sound
and trigger this in client/config.cs with

moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "f2", "", "alxPlay(sndShout);");
