UserMessage missing ReadMessage/ReadRepeatedMessage/AddMessage methods

[BeepIsla]

Hello,

some usermessages have nested protobuf types, how would we access those?

I saw they are commented out, was this done for any particular reason or simply forgotten?

CounterStrikeSharp/managed/CounterStrikeSharp.API/Modules/UserMessages/UserMessage.cs

Lines 80 to 82 in 1f904a5

	// public UserMessage ReadMessage(string fieldName) => NativeAPI.PbReadmessage(this, fieldName);
	// public UserMessage ReadRepeatedMessage(string fieldName, int index ) => NativeAPI.PbReadrepeatedmessage(this, fieldName, index);
	// public UserMessage AddMessage(string fieldName) => NativeAPI.PbAddmessage(this, fieldName);

Hey!
They are not finished yet, require more work to do

+1 on this. would need this for usage for Replicated convars to show env_instructor_hint

    public void Command_DisplayHint(CCSPlayerController? playerController, CommandInfo info)
    {
        if (playerController == null) return;
        if (!playerController.IsReal()) return;

        // Example parameters for the hint
        float time = 10.0f;
        float height = 50.0f;
        float range = 1000.0f;
        bool follow = true;
        bool showOffScreen = true;
        string iconOnScreen = "icon_bulb";
        string iconOffScreen = "icon_arrow_up";
        string cmd = "use_binding";
        bool showTextAlways = false;
        Color color = Color.FromArgb(255, 255,0,0);
        string text = "This is a hint!";
        UserMessage um = UserMessage.FromId(6);
        SubPbMessage convars = um.ReadMessage("convars");
        SubPbMessage cvar = convars.AddMessage("cvars");
        cvar.SetString("name", "sv_gameinstructor_enable");
        cvar.SetString("value", "true");
        
        um.Send(playerController);
        DisplayInstructorHint(playerController, time, height, range, follow, showOffScreen, iconOnScreen, iconOffScreen, cmd, showTextAlways, color, text);
    }

    private void DisplayInstructorHint(CCSPlayerController targetEntity, float time, float height, float range, bool follow, bool showOffScreen, string iconOnScreen, string iconOffScreen, string cmd, bool showTextAlways, Color color, string text)
    {
        // Implementation of the SourceMod HUD text functionality
        CEnvInstructorHint entity = Utilities.CreateEntityByName<CEnvInstructorHint>("env_instructor_hint")!;

        if (entity == null) return;

        string buffer = targetEntity.Index.ToString();

        // Target
        entity.Target = buffer;
        entity.HintTargetEntity = buffer;

        entity.Static = follow;

        buffer = ((int)time).ToString();
        entity.Timeout = (int)time;
        //if (time > 0.0f) RemoveEntity(entity, time);

        // Height
        entity.IconOffset = height;

        // Range
        entity.Range = range;

        // Show off screen
        entity.NoOffscreen = showOffScreen;

        // Icons
        entity.Icon_Onscreen = iconOnScreen;
        entity.Icon_Offscreen = iconOffScreen;

        // Command binding
        entity.Binding = cmd;

        // Show text behind walls
        entity.ForceCaption = showTextAlways;

        // Text color
        entity.Color = color;

        // Text
        text = text.Replace("\n", " ");
        entity.Caption = text;

        entity.DispatchSpawn();
        entity.AcceptInput("ShowHint");
    }

    private void RemoveEntity(CEnvInstructorHint entity, float time = 0.0f)
    {
        if (time == 0.0f)
        {
            if (entity.IsValid)
            {
                entity.AcceptInput("Kill");
            }
        }
        else if (time > 0.0f)
        {
            _base!.AddTimer(time, () =>
            {
                if (entity.IsValid)
                {
                    entity.AcceptInput("Kill");
                }
            }, TimerFlags.STOP_ON_MAPCHANGE);
        }
