Problem - new macro causing group members to autofollow

I'm writing a new macro to control my group and have a strange problem:

When starting the macro, the group members that will cast buff spells are trying to auto follow. This seems to happen when the macro is reading the buff section of the ini file. Wondering if anyone can tell me what is causing this.

Please note: The macro is only about half done and not fully tested yet.

Edit: The problem occurs during the start-up of the macro. The test characters with buffs will get the auto follow message about the same time the macro is reading the buff section of the ini file for the first time.

To me the problem appears to me here in your ca2.mac /if (${BuffOn} && !${BuffCheckTimer} && !${Me.Combat}) /call BuffCasting

With that you're calling your Buffs but its only checking if you're in combat and if buffon is on and your timers. If you add && !${Me.Moving} into that line then BuffCasting won't happen while your moving though if you stop to turn it might cast buffs, you could solve this with only moving while invis and add me.invis in there or something you just need some kind of logic in that line for when you're running around.

The line in your ca2.mac /if (${BuffOn} && !${BuffCheckTimer} && !${Me.Combat}) /call BuffCasting has not been programmed yet as I have not finished the buff section. I do like the idea of not moving so I will add that in. Always good to have another persons thoughts.
