Events report that something has happened. They don't cause it to happen.
You can't kill someone by firing a "player_death" event, or caue chat to
happen by firing a "player_chat" event.
You're in luck. If you want to send player chat, you'll have to use
engine->UserMessageBegin(), write your data to the bf_write* it returns, and
then send it with engine->MessageEnd().
You can look up the message ID with GetUserMessageInfo() from the ServerDLL
interface. Be warned that there is a bug with that interface that will cause
it to crash if you give it an index higher than is available in the mod
running your plugin.
Hope that helps.
