New Say/TeamSay markup
Being a coder of some years I've recently tried to get my hands dirty in UnrealScript. As a starter project I thought I'd try and emulate a few features of the
LeagueAS MOD as closely as I could.
I especially like the new
markup that you've integrated into the Say/TeamSay commands, and that was one of the first things I tried to copy. In fact I added a few new markup-tags of my own, and I'd really like to see them integrated into
LeagueAS if you like them. Here's the list:
%POSITION%
- A very simple one. This returns the value in
%LOCATION% if it is not "Unknown", otherwise it returns
%OBJECTIVE%.
%MYTARGET%
- This returns the name of the player you are looking at, and is not team-dependent. I created this one as I was getting to grips with Traces, but I don't think it's quite as useful as the one below...
%NEARESTTEAMMATE%
- As the tag suggests, this returns the name your nearest team-mate. For example, in your
User.ini you could have:
X=TeamSay > %NEARESTTEAMMATE%, I'm right behind you! | Speech 4 3 -1
I know you said in your above post that you will probably not add new features, but these are just extensions on an existing feature and I hope you'll consider them in a minor-update
BTW, why not bring back
AdvancedSay and
AdvancedTeamSay? I don't always play on LeagueAS servers and when I don't I'm forever spamming my team-mate's consoles with undoctored markup
Cheers
