The link above is to my mana robe macro, which isn't relevant to your question. However, starting at the bottom of the first page, the conversation morphs into a dialog about when and when not to use quotation marks and it helped me a lot. Make sure you read the thread into page two as there are some fantastic explanations in there about quotations, delimiters, etc.

Bottom line: don't use quotes in /declare statements and instead use them only when they are necessary such as calling a spell. To my knowledge, they are never used for integers. The only exception I could imagine is if you were looking at (or for) a string that looked like an int. in which case the string handling rules still apply.

Thanks Horse. Was not sure how that worked. This has all been very informative.

Thankyou all for helping this noob find his way. My macro just went from unworkable to slightly more workable

Edit: Thankyou Again. I understand much better on how everything works.

ok i'm a newb at this macoing but was wondering what is so wrong witht he bellow?

#event Yaulp "Your surge of strength fades."
sub event_makemypetgoaway(string line,string zone)
/if (${Me.Class.Name.Equal["cleric"]}) {
| Refreshing Yaulp
/echo #Refreshing Yaulp
/cast cast 8

you should make a new thread if you have a new question :)

your bug is that your event routine is incorrectly named.
rename event_makemypetgoaway to event_Yaulp. also remove string zone parameter

If you have spell routines inc try this: (Only need to add #include spell_routines.inc if it's not already included in the macro your writing this for.

Code: Select all

#include spell_routines.inc

#event   Yaulp      "Your surge of strength fades." 
sub event_Yaulp 
   /if (${Me.Class.Name.Equal["cleric"]})  {
      |Refreshing Yaulp 
      /echo #Refreshing Yaulp 
      /call cast "Yaulp VII" gem8 
   }
/return

Just a point of interist. After the first time you cast Yaulp VII, this will refresh it indefinatly, every time your chat see's "Your surge of strength fades."

well if that isn't the hard way to do it.

Code: Select all

| chat.mac
#Chat Chat

Sub Main

/declare channel         string outer mychannel
/join ${channel}

:Main_Loop
  /delay 1
  /doevents
  /goto :Main_Loop
/return

Sub SomeSub
   /chat #${channel} If this is working you should see this First
/return

Sub event_Chat(string ChatType,string Sender,string ChatText) 
   /if (${ChatType.Equal[${channel}]}) {
      /if (${ChatText.Equal[bla]} || ${ChatText.Equal[bla bla]} || ${ChatText.Equal[blah]} || ${ChatText.Equal[blah blah]}) /call SomeSub
          /chat #${channel}  You should see this Second
          /tell ${Sender} it worked!
   }
/return

Just out of curiosity could the above code be converted into an .inc file so multiple macros could make use of it? Example would be a shammy macro, chanter macro, cleric macro and war macro could access the same channel what have you and add

Code: Select all

#include chat.inc 

to the macros

Very easily. Look at feedme.inc and feedme.mac for an example
