+/*
+
+Here's how to use the TGS chat system with configs
+
+send2adminchat is a simple function that broadcasts to all admin channels that are designated in TGS
+
+send2chat is a bit verbose but can be very specific
+
+In TGS3 it will always be sent to all connected designated game chats.
+
+In TGS4+ they use the new tagging system
+
+The second parameter is a string, this string should be read from a config.
+What this does is dictate which TGS channels can be sent to.
+
+For example if you have the following channels in tgs4 set up
+- Channel 1, Tag: asdf
+- Channel 2, Tag: bombay,asdf
+- Channel 3, Tag: Hello my name is asdf
+- Channel 4, No Tag
+- Channel 5, Tag: butts
+
+and you make the call:
+
+send2chat(new /datum/tgs_message_content("I sniff butts"), CONFIG_GET(string/where_to_send_sniff_butts))
+
+and the config option is set like:
+
+WHERE_TO_SEND_SNIFF_BUTTS asdf
+
+It will be sent to channels 1 and 2
+
+Alternatively if you set the config option to just:
+
+WHERE_TO_SEND_SNIFF_BUTTS
+
+it will be sent to all connected chats.
