OK I'm assuming this is the script side echo function.

Here's how it works:

echo("This is my variable: " @ %myvariable);

Use the @ sign for concatenation, or you can use words like TAB, SPC as well (or \t). Also \c0 through \c7 (I think just up to 7) will color the text after the \c tag.

Also calling objects directly by name or by id works too

echo("Position: " @ 6758.player.position);
echo("Base Position: " @ Team1_Base.position);

Provided you named the object when you instantiated it.

I think that more or less covers it :)
