@Param0

How do you differentiate between the param passed by
/mac whatever.mac param0

and the param passed by

/call whatever param0

Is it a global vs local variable thing?

be a little more specific

but the way i understand it and the way i have seen it work is

if in your macro you /call Subname Param0

it will use the parameters defined from the original /mac macname Param0

if you want it to do something different

just use
/call Subname whateveryouwant

hope that helps

You don't. The parameters passed on the /macro line are sent as Param0,1,2.. to the Main sub and local to that sub. If you are in a different sub it will have a different set of Param's.

Ok, so I'm making a macro that lets another character control you through tell (similar to controlling a pet through /pet) and I want the master's name to be the param when the mac is typed.

/mac pet.mac MasterName

Can I have something like

Code: Select all

#Event attack "@param0 tells you, 'attack'"
Sub Event_attack
  [color=red]/assist @param0[/color]
  [color=red]/tell @param0 Attacking $target(name)[/color]
  /call move
  /attack on
/return

Or do I have to do this in the beginning of main?

Code: Select all

/declare Mastername global
/varset Mastername @param0

and use @Mastername in the subs?

You have to use the second version.

Make sure you use @Param0 instead of @param0 also.
