We've got $loc and $target, and maybe some others that my Google-fu is not strong enough to find. I'd love a few more:

 

• $team1leader through $team8leader
  • So I can /say "Pass [Pacification Grenade]s to $team1leader and [Molecular Acid]s to $team2leader"
• $zone
  • So I can /lfg "Forming Hami in $zone"
  • And not have to worry about whether I am in Abyss 1 or Abyss 2 or (because it's happened once) Abyss 3.
  • No clue what $zone should return if you are on a mission map or in a base. Smarter people than me can figure that out.

$zone should just return what whereami uses for it's zone return

 

So in Atlas:

Server: Excelsior Zone/Mission: Atlas Park Position: [386.5 32.8 -883.5]

 

In a base:

Server: Excelsior Zone/Mission: base_loading_screen Position: [371.2 4.0 126.5]

 

Hmm, I'd have to check what it returns for a 2nd instance

This would also be handy for when there is a league scramble and the star goes to someone else. Leaders could make a macro asking the team1leader to pass them the star without having to target that person first.

Thanks, not sure why but I never could find that page. I was probably making my search too complicated or something.

One variable missing from that page is $server, which (I believe) returns the IP (local, like 10.10.x.x) of the game server.

Would love $zone (for area map, like Steel Canyon), $team for what team (in league) one is on, $position (?) for your location on team (e.g., "position 3")  Maybe call it $spot?
