Can someone help me figure out how to make a macro cast a spell 8 times in a row, then drop to the inventory 8 times, and loop that 15 times?
I have no idea how to even start, i tried
/cast 1
/cast 1
/cast 1
/cast 1
/cast 1
/cast 1
/cast 1
/cast 1
But it only casted 1 time

the problem with your technique is that there are no delays.
You begin casting the 1st instance and then immediately try to cast 7 more times while the first is still casting.
What you need to do is 1 of 2 things.
1. Check the spell being casted and account for network lag and insert manual delays between each cast
2. Find a spellsub.inc type include, possibly using one from GJ's genbot module. These modules are designed to flawlessly cast a spell and you can just use an #include of the file and then /call spellsub "name of spell"
and it will cast it without problems.

This should do what you wanted done
Code: Select all
|-- multicast.mac
|-- Renagade8
|-- usage : /macro multicast <spell name>
|-- example : /macro multicast "Enchant Gold"
#turbo
sub main(spellname)
/declare xx local
/declare yy local
/for xx 0 to 14
/for yy 0 to 7
/cast "@spellname"
:waitcast
/delay 1
/if $char(casting)==TRUE /goto :waitcast
/click left auto
/delay 2
/next yy
/next xx
/return

Not knocking renegade8, but you can be done casting but not have the spell gem refreshed. I modified renegade8's example to check the spell gem instead of casting. I also inserted code to drop the 8 items at a time as you had asked:
Code: Select all
|-- multicast.mac
|-- Renagade8
|-- usage : /macro multicast <spell name>
|-- example : /macro multicast "Enchant Gold"
Sub Main
/declare Loop1 local
/declare Loop2 local
/for Loop1 1 to 15
/for Loop2 1 to 8
/cast "@Param0"
:waitcast
/if n $char(gem,"@Param0")==-2 {
/delay 0
/goto :WaitCast
}
/next Loop2
:DropItems
/autoinv
/if $cursor()!=FALSE {
/delay 0
/goto :DropIitems
}
/next Loop1
/return
