Dollar Sign Macros "$$"


Introduction To Macros

Macros in ThreeWave are just a fancy name for A Shorthand Language With Lots Of Dollarsigns that we created.

Often in teamgames, players message each other. "I was killed by the red team" could be one message. But wait -- what if you're on the blue team? You need a separate message. Not anymore. Now, you can type "I was killed by $Q" and it will automatically fill in the enemy team's colour.
