Say Escapes

Say escapes are replaced by corresponding data when you use them in a "say" command. For example, if your health is 126 and you enter the text "health: %h" in a say command, it will show up in the game as "health: 126".

%h	your health
%a	your armor
%w	your current weapon
%W	the ammo type of your current weapon
%x	the object that your aiming at (player, weapon, flag, etc)
%p	the last player that you aimed at
%l	your current location *
%y	the location that your aiming at *
%d	the location of your last death *
%%	a percent sign (so that you can use "%" in a message)

* If the mapper has included location data in the map, the location escapes will use it. For example, Facing Worlds has location data, so if you are in the red base, "%l" will be replaced with "Red Base".

If the mapper didn't include any location data, the escape will use the nearest item pickup, e.g. a megahealth, a flag, etc. Unless you're near a unique weapon, this information is useless. That's why you should always use waypoint sprites in your team messages (see below).
