Say Location

Paegus

<div class="IPBDescription">warning contains newbish question</div> I've seen many servers where when players type a message it comes with a (map location) attached, but I can't figure out how to do that, and no one ingame seems willing to tell me.

Example:
Lamer-Comm (Measma Walkway): omg you noobs save my rt!

it appears automatically if you are in a marked position on the map (ie, in the bottom left corner if you can see a location name)

if you're in a random vent, or some corridors, then nothing will appear - you don't see it appear on your own text

shanks is right, you don't see it on your own screen. But rest assured, others will see it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

There's also plugins on some servers that will alow you to include variables in your message. Ie, typing:

"I need a medpack commander! I have %h hp!"

Would give

"I need a medpack commander! I have 25 hp!"


The exact variable name is dependant on the server config.
