API Command Buttons in Text Chat; How do I reference 'the one who pushed'?

I have some ideas for some buttons I would like to code up, but I have a semi-major stumbling block: How do I get the name of the entity which pushed the button? I'm 99% sure @{selected} is out, as is @{target}. Something tells me the answer is going to be "You can't", but it shouldn't be because I know there's a way to know; Powercards has a 'Powercard sent by NAME' tooltip -- and that's what I'll be using as a fallback, but it would really be nice to get that name as a usable variable!

You have to get it from the API, via the message object's playerid property.

Would help to know what the buttons are for and what you have so far.

Meeeeeeeeeh. FINE. I'll go beg HoneyBadger for YET ANOTHER FEATURE. ^_^

Oh, hey, I should have reloaded before replying... First button is this: [Ready Check](!power --name|Readycheck) Very roughdraft/first pass work here. Ideally, the title would be 'Name is ready!' For now, I'm just relying on the playercolor and hovertip. I'm not sure what I'll be doing for other buttons. I had a vague wish last night during the game for a button that would let me present a series of rollqueries for a skills encounter I was running, and I would have wanted the Name to be there too. I wish I could be more helpful, but I also know that getting the concept of 'me' is important for achieving the full potential of the API command buttons. I'm honestly a little surprised we don't already have a 'me' for use alongside selected and target.

Ah, cool. I am leaving for work here in a couple minutes. So just ping me in the PowerCard thread before 7am eastern tomorrow and I'll add an %%info_charm%% or something. That'll be really simple to add.

Riley, @{selected} requires a token be selected. That's great for TokenAction macros. But this is a button in chat, with nothing TO select. And I can't use @{selected} to get me a player name either, only a token name or a character name.

Absolutely, what GenKitty said. @{me} or @{this} would be awesome.
