MGB Macro - Help out the unbuffed while sitting in the Guild Lobby

I wanted to test my hand at making a basic macro so I could learn the steps and also, specifically, learn syntax and conditionals. So I made this macro. I also made this because I like hitting my whole army with MGBs before initiating KA.

This macro will assign a set number of popular MGB spells depending on the class of whoever runs it, and will sit in Guild Lobby until it detects anyone asking for "MGB" at which point it will delay a random amount of time between 10-20 seconds, activate...

I am not 100% on the terminology here, but I made a MGB macro just to familiarize myself with conditionals, calls, etc. It's set up so that if the toon sees the phrase "buffs" or "MGB" then it goes into its cycle of spell casting.

My problem is that if someone asks for buffs while the toons are already casting, then the toon starts over as soon as it is done with the first casting cycle.

Is there a way that I can have the macro first check whether it is already executing a function when it sees/receives a trigger for buffs, and then only execute the macro if it is NOT already doing so?

My thought process would be something like this:

When macro sees MGB or Buffs, it uses /goto to move the macro's execution to a section called BuffOne (and from there to BuffTwo then BuffThree, etc., depending on the number of buffs).

Is there language I can use to make it check first if it is already inside BuffOne/Two/Three when it sees the trigger, and only /goto BuffOne when it is not already inside one of those sections?

Broken down into stupid simple coding structure, it would (in my mind) be (If me NOT==BuffOne/Two/Three then /goto BuffOne)

i merged your thread into your existing discussion thread for your resource

#event - MacroQuest Docs

docs.macroquest.org

that link is the docs for #event

not many folks still fuss around with macrocode these days, many folks have moved over to using Lua - @ChatWithThisName is still real good with macro code and he might be able to lend you some eyeballs
