+![](http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160306/zswobuo8.jpg)
+
+Sends a message to the target player's action bar.
+
+[Color codes](/databases/misc/colorcodes) and
+[Variables](/skills/stringvariables) are compatible with the action
+message bar. Some targeters might not work properly with this mechanic.
+If you happen to find a targeter that doesn't work, please be sure to
+post it in the bugs/suggestion-subforum!
+
+Note: Versions 2.3.0 onwards- The @trigger targeter is buggy for
