2. Type say and your message, then press Enter.

With Quick Tasks

2. Under All tasks, find Announce to Players in Default tasks.
3. Click Run. The task needs a Message, so the window Configure task opens. Type the message.
4. Save task keeps it under Your tasks, with your message. Run it from there.
