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.
