<div class="IPBDescription">Is there a way to use variables in chat?</div> Ive started adding simple little com 'scripts' into NS, to do small things like play radio messages and fixed text binds. I was wondering if there were any 'variable' commands that will say your location or the person you are targeting? There is somthing like this in TFC, when you type %a in chat, your current armor will automaticly replace it when you speak.
Is there anything already in NS that will do something like this, for example type %i to say who ever you are targeting?

However, using the "Need Ammo," "Need Health," and "Need Order" will trigger an alert for the commander, which he can then "jump" to using his jump key.
Similarly, using any alien comm (such as "need backup" or "need healing") will display "[EC.coil] needs healing at (location)" below your hive sight sprite. The only problem with this system is there is no audio alert, and you only see the text if you localize your crosshair on my hive sight sprite. I would expect additional refinement to this feature in the future, including audio alerts and prioritized hive sight text.
