Im not sure what a new group is, but I tested making a new Set and a new Hotbar and both worked for me - if you want to send me the config that is broken i can take a look at it.
Are you sure you are on the latest code? bmHotbarClass.Lua:281 for me is a blank line and there is no ipairs until line 290.
I've had an issue with a corrupt button before. Getting rid of that button fixed the issue iirc. It will be the last one that displays messed up.
It has something to do with the icon i think? sorry i dont remember details.
This is what it looks like now after the patch. This usually has 36 buttons. Now I can only see those and there is a weird red circle around the last one (visible on the pic). The other tabs are fine)

Did you read what I said and check/remove that last button?
I will try that now. Although I have 2 PCs and I am getting the same issue on both (different characters) after the patch. I will try to unassign the last button and see if that fixes it
Hurray!! Thank you, working now
Discovered an interesting issue when executing an alias. I have an alias called /newrod, which deletes a current mod rod then casts a new mod rod. I was not able to combine /timed 10 and the /newrod alias on the same line of my hotkey, but separating them solved the issue.
Does Not Work:
Line 1: /target ${Me.Name}
Line 2: /timed 10 /newrod
Works:
Line 1: /target ${Me.Name}
Line 2: /timed 10
Line 3: /newrod
Does Not Work:
Line 1: /target ${Me.Name}
Line 2: /timed 10 /newrod
Works:
Line 1: /target ${Me.Name}
Line 2: /timed 10
Line 3: /newrod

Good suggestion and I did try more.
I went up to /timed 30 with no luck.
Placing the /timed ## and my /newrod alias on a subsequent line solved the problem for me, so I thought I would pass it along.

I'm really confused how that works though. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something. I thought
[CODE title="This should do the same thing"]/target ${Me.Name}
/newrod[/CODE]
/timeddoes nothing by itself, but only delays the command argument you add to it after the ##.[CODE title="This should do the same thing"]/target ${Me.Name}
/newrod[/CODE]
You are probably correct, it's been so long since I worked with /timed.
But the main issue is that for whatever reason, I can't combine /timed ## and my alias on the same line.
Thank you to Kaen01 for sharing this, which gives some color to using /timed ## in front of an alias.

Interesting, I'm not sure what the alias is so it's hard to troubleshoot it.
And by not working, is the mage not casting the spell? or is he casting but the target isn't set?
If the hotkey is targeting yourself always, might just want to try and add the command to the alias. Make it a
[CODE title="Something like"]/multiline ; /stop ; /timed 5 /target ${Me.Name} ; /timed 15 /cast "<spellname>"[/CODE]

That's really good too know, thanks for sharing! Glad it's figured out then.Thank you to Kaen01 for sharing this, which gives some color to using /timed ## in front of an alias.

Indeed.
I modified my alias to includes the two lines of the BM hotkey, with an inserted delay, so now I just have one line in my BM hotkey that calls the alias.

I just started using BM (love it) and did not notice Hotkey deletion is from the main (gear icon) options. So, a right click option on the Hotkey itself would be quick/handy.
I have close to 500 buttons. It’s hard to see to delete them because they go off of the screen.
Added.

Thanks, Derple!
I am struggling here, please help.
I closed the buttonmaster plugin window by accident, and I just cant make it reappear. I do /Lua run buttonmaster and it says it is it already running. I stop it and restart it, but the window does not display onscreen, even though it loads up in the MQ2 chat. I it as if it is "minimized" or outside the screen or something.

Usually if you do /btn 1 it will show the buttonmaster window. I have done that before.
I would think you need a Lua for that.
I answered you where you asked elsewhere.
It would be best, but it is (hypothetically) possible. BM accepts Lua code in numerous places. Note I am not suggesting it and not being able to use delay in BM code makes it problematic.
Hey folks, question - using the Button Master Lua...is there like a practical limit of how many commands you can put on a button. In my case, I am wanting to make a "Go to Spot" button for my 12 man raid. This raid is the Pelzia's Plot one with the Red and Yellow Wasps then Rains that will DT you if you get both colors on you.
So I can get to the last bee, but i need people to be spaced out a bit so I went around the play area and mapped out loc's...
Button has something like this:
/cwtna mode 0
/nav locyx Y X (driver toon)
/dex toon2 /nav locyx Y X
/dex toon3 /nav locyx Y X
/dex toon4 /nav locyx Y X
/dex toon5 /nav locyx Y X
/dex toon6 /nav locyx Y X
/dex toon7 /nav locyx Y X
/dex toon8 /nav locyx Y X
/dex toon9 /nav locxy Y X
/dex toon10 /nav locyx Y X
/dex toon11 /nav locyx Y X
/dex toon12 /nav locyx Y X
It worked perfectly with the first 3-4 lines. Once I put all 12 toons lines in now I just get random results - sometimes one toon doesn't move, other times other ones don't move...just seemingly random.
Note: All 12 locations are unique so toons are spaced out.
Per Sic - have to have a /timed after the cwtn
You need to delay the nav after going mode 0. All of those lines fire at the same time, so mode 0 is likely cancelling nav (as intended)

Lua:
-- lua
local charData = {
['charname1'] = { x = val, y = val, z = val},
['charname2'] = { x = val, y = val, z = val},
['charname3'] = { x = val, y = val, z = val}
}
local delay = 10
mq.cmd("/cwtn mode 0")
for name,loc in pairs(charData or {}) do
if k ~= nil then
mq.cmdf("/timed %s /dex %s /nav locyx %s %s", delay, name, loc.y, loc.x, loc.z)
end
endfixed the missing Z axis and made it easier to read
fixed phone autocorrect capitalizations

The only way I know to do it is to 'Clear Saved ImGui Window Settings', which resets all windows. This is on the EQ -> Macroquest button
