Chat substitutions

Last wiki revision 2019-03-31

All chat commands that send custom text to other players (for example, /yell, /csay, /emote, /raid) may make use of the following patterns to insert unit names or raid icons into the message.

These codes work in normal chat, in macros, and with the function, and are not case-sensitive.

  • - Inserts the name of the current focus target. Inserts if applicable.
  • , - Inserts the name of the current target, e.g. "Sheeping %t!". Inserts if nothing is targeted.
  • - Inserts one of the eight target markers:
  • {star}, {rt1} -
  • {circle}, {rt2} -
  • {diamond}, {rt3} -
  • {triangle}, {rt4} -
  • {moon}, {rt5} -
  • {square}, {rt6} -
  • {cross}, {rt7} -
  • {skull}, {rt8} -
  • Note that the raid target markup names (star, circle, diamond, etc.) are localized, so {star} for example will not be replaced by the star texture on a german client. The {rtX}-style markup works on all clients.
