```

### Example 2

Show a message to all connected players:

```sqf
[[["Hello"], { hint (_this select 0) }], "BIS_fnc_spawn", true, false, false] call BIS_fnc_MP; // obsolete, use remoteExec

["Hello", { hint (_this select 0) }] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_spawn"];    // since the introduction of remoteExec
["Hello", { hint (_this select 0) }] remoteExec ["spawn"];            // BIS_fnc_spawn is obsolete
["Hello"] remoteExec ["hint"];                                        // best solution here
```
