---

* `OnGlobalChat`
### Methods
* `SendChatAsync(NewChatMessage message)`
```csharp
public enum ChatChannel
{
Team,
Global
}
public record NewChatMessage(ChatChannel Channel, string Message);
```
---
## 🎮 Game State Integration
Track live game state changes through event-based updates.
Based on [GameStateInteraction](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive_Game_State_Integration) with help from [this reddit post](https://reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/cjhcpy)
### Supported State Events
* **Gsi Listener**
* Offers a base event `OnPostReceived` for all incoming GSI payloads
* **Map State**
* `MapState` events
* **Player State**
* `PlayerState` events
* **Round State**
* `RoundState` events
These events allow real-time reactions to gameplay changes such as round transitions, player updates, and map changes.
---
## 🧩 Client Services
### 🟦 SteamService
Provides access to Steam and CS2 client data.
#### Methods
* `GetSteamPath()`
* `TryGetGamePath(int gameId, out string path)`
* `GetGamePath(int gameId)`
* `GetUserConfig(long? userId)`
* `GetGameLaunchOptions(int gameId)`
* `GetCurrentUserId()`
---
### 🖥️ ConsoleService (CS2 Console Integration)

## Ai Disclosure
> This was made as a hobby project that I use personally to make small little programs for fun, all of my software is free and open source via MIT licensing, if you have a problem with AI do not take it up with me.
Some form of AI was used for the following items
* Readme - I'm notoriously bad at writing readmes, but was proof read and modified after initial creation.
* Incode ///summary Statements - I use the built in CoPilot summary auto complete to get a base summary which is then proof read and modified.
* /DemoParser/Parsing - I extensively looked into how to do it properly and couldn't figure it out, so it wrote the files located within. (PS valve please update documentation page).
* /Services/WebService/SqlService - I didn't want to use further nuget packages when all I needed to do was query a DB.
* /Services/Config - Same reason as SqlService
