Emote and @name

Post by Dorn »

Would it be possible to adjust how this works currently so we can use possessives in emotes?

I'd love to be able to "Dorn stares at Ambrose's behind and murmurs something to himself"

Bad example, but whatever.

I mean, yeah, that's cool and stuff. But..

While I'm suggesting it, can we also do so with our own name in emotes?

WELL. Jokes about Ambrose's butt aside, I fully agree with Dorn's suggestions. It would be nice to be able to target someone while using a possessive and also to emote using a possessive for your own name.

if you do

Emote 's breath fogs in the cold air.

it'll show up as

(Zeel's breath fogs in the cold air.)

So half of it is technically implemented.

Love the examples. Makes me wonder. Love these ideas so a +100.

That's good to know! But unfortunately you can't change the position of your name in the emote using the possessive like you can with just your name. Example, if you type: emote Leaning forward, Zahrah smirks a little it'll output: "Leaning forward, Zahrah smirks a little." But if you were to type: emote The wind pulls at Zahrah's hair it'll output: "Zahrah The wind pulls at Zahrah's hair." It doesn't recognize the possessive.
