Yea as far as I know we've never gotten any of those variables to work. The canned announcements work, but that method doesn't work for the custom barking.

I don't use it, but I''ve gotten it to work without any problems. Insert these variables into your ad bark for the desired effect:

Used in making a macro. This lets you put variables in your text in order to automatically insert words and names. The available variables are:

%TU - your full name (first and last)

%TT - your current look at target target's full name

%NU - your first name

%NT - your target's short version name (first only)

%SU - personal subjective pronoun: he/she/it for the speaker

%ST - he/she/it for the target

%OU - personal objective pronoun: him/her/it for the speaker

%OT - him/her/it for your target

%PU - possessive: his/her/its for the speaker

%PT - his/her/its for your target

%RU - your species

%RT - your target's species

Ifyou wanted your vendor to greet your customer by name, Type "Hello, %NT" for example.

Oh, wait a minute..... Have I tried this in the custom bark.

*ponders*

Maybe I've only done this with the canned barking..... I'll have to play with this at home later. Sorry, I might have posted a bit too eagerly.
