New environment variables %system% and %sector%

Jul 22, 2008 zontemuma link
Most of us know the variable %target% to personalize your hail msg and so on...

But I'd love to be able to create some key bindings doing something like

echo "/t Beware, travelers. Ion storm in %system%-%sector%!"

or

echo "/g Positive visual to %target% confirmed in %system%-%sector%"

This would help traders/travelers to establish some kind of "weather report", and may help bounty hunters to track down their prey a bit easier.

We already have %sector%, and it does exactly what you're asking for -- it gives both the system and sector coordinates.

It used to give the sector ID number but it doesn't anymore.

Oh...

It works. Thank you for the hint. Didn't know that.

Consider this "request" as closed :-)

More like "worksforme"... :P

This could also be implemented as a user-made plugin.
