Unofficial unified "We want more $!" thread
/signed
I would like most of these. The Team_AT is a bit... klunky? I dunno, I just don't like it.
How about:
$zone - Returns the current zone you are in.
$sgname - Returns the SG name of your target. Perhaps would be better as...
$faction - Would return faction of target i.e. Carnival of Shadows or Hellions or Supergroup name if it is a player

$server, for those of us who use global channels to meet with friends who're alting on other servers.

Bump, because how awesome is a macro that says on your favorite global channel "$target TF forming up on $server. PST to $leader for invite, meet in $zone. We've got $team_size so far."

I wonder if that got anyone's attention.
Anyway, I figured I'd try to make a unified thread for all the $variable suggestions. For the time being, we have but a handful - specifically, $name, $level and $archetype. On the other hand, that same system could be expanded to cover a much wider variety of variables to help with gameplay and communication, so I invite all and sundry to present their suggestions for various variables.
Team-based:
$leader - Leader of the current team
$team_size - Size of the player's team
$teammate1 through $teammate8 - names of current teammates. Returns an empty string if specified teammate doesn't exist.
$team_AT - Returns an array of archetypes on the team, sorted alphabetically and delimited by commas {ex. Blaster, Blaster, Controller, Defender, Peacebringer, Tanker}
Mission-based:
$mission_name - Name of the current mission. Returns an empty string if no mission is set
$mission_contact - Name of the contact who gave out the current mission. Returns an empty string if no mission is set.
Any other suggestions?
