FEAT REQ: $macro

loadingpleasewait · Post by **loadingpleasewait** » Thu Nov 13, 2003 10:07 am

For UI Development, I think it would be nice to have somthing along the lines of $macro(running), $macro(running,time) etc..

$macro(running) would return what macro is running, or None if none are running.

$macro(running,time) would return how long the macro has been running, and would return nothing if no macro is running.

I think it would be nice to place this in the UI so I would know if my macro has ended, and I just missed the spam or somthing.

Thanks

First one... not sure if it can be done...

Second request:

From readme.html in the CVS and zip

Code: Select all

$running
Returns the number of seconds the macro has been running

aye, I know about $running, but what I'm lookin for mainly is somthing that would display the macro name that is running.. I suppose I dont need any variables to it, so just plain old $macro would be fine.. = )

I'm thinking this wouldn't be that hard. The /macro command has to take a macro name as it's argument. Should be easy enough to store that argument in a $macro variable. I'll take a look into it in a bit if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

Okay, tested and working, and in the CVS. $macro will return the name of the currently running macro, or "None" if one is not running.

For custom UI's, new type numbers. 4000 is $macro, and 4001 is $running. Maybe Lax can modify the MQ window title bar to show those, if not you can stick them in your player window or something.

Any chance we can get this in the zip? = )

Yeah, I need to figure out the whole uploading of the zip one of these days :) Sorry about that.
