Question - /mac

[wynge]

is it posable to have a macro start another macro? maybe using conditions?

I think it crashes the first one when you start the second. So it would be a rough way to swap a toon from one macro to the next, but some of the old instance macros used to "chain" together this way to move from instance to instance.

Another options would be to combine the macros and have it swap internally.

I recall eqmule mentioned he was working on an upgrade that would let MQ2 run multiple macros, but not sure if that is live or still in dev.

Unless things have changed recently, then it has been possible for a while to start a macro from another macro. However, the macro that is started will skip the first line of code from the new macro that is started. So you'll need a dummy line of code in the macro you intend to start from within a macro. IE: I want to choose to start a macro based on my class, /if (${Me.Class.ShortName.Equal[BRD]}) /mac BardBot

Then BardBot.mac would need something right after Sub Main's start like a /delay 1, or a /squelch /echo Leave this line here, it's going to get skipped when this macro is called from within another macro.

OMG, that's what I am looking for. thank you sir.
I have a plugin I want to make but have no clue how so ill try it in a /mac first to see if it works.
