Hello all,

im really new to this macro stuff and im going to be honest im not too good with it. i've read over the tutorials and such but still don't have a clear idea of how it works. Could someone point me in the direction of a tuturial which would kinda hold my hand and walk me through a few simple marco's please?

there are in-depth and simple surface level macros in the Macro Depot that cover most common tasks. honestly best way is to watch some of the simple task macros and learn from there. if you have a task for a macro to perform, try and make one and if something is snagging you post the code and the code monkeys like myself will guide your code in the right direction.

hehe macros not to try and learn from when you are starting:
TS.mac
genbot
anything with ini
hunter.mac

i suggest getting the readme.html file from macroquest not MQ2

and seeing all the stuff they wrote in there, that will give you an amazing reference to all the commands and variables

second
read scripting for dummies by elretardo
gives step by step instructions for some simple macros
and also
/echo is your friend
whenever you are doing multiple things in code, you can put /echo in your script

like

/cast 1
/echo attempting to cast blahblahblah
...rest of code

that way you can tell where your code bugs out and whats going on

i agree, and disagree, i agree with everything except hunter.mac not being good to learn from... its a great mac to scroll through and figure out what you know and what you need to learn more about. Although it would probably be considered a mid-level macro as far as reading through it goes. Now Genbot... thats a whole different animal, lol
