Question about new capability in 1.0.1

[Kyote]

What's this mean?

-Added a "-macro " command to play a macro from inside of the client.

I thought it meant you could now call 1 macro from another. But if so I don't understand how to do so. Could someone explain what that means if not what I'm thinking it means? Or, if I'm understanding it correctly and you can now call a macro from another, could someone explain that to me, please?

You have been able to call one macro from another for a long time.

Anything that is a hotkey can be done in a macro, which includes other macros. So while you are recording a macro if you go to the hotkeys table, fine the macro you want to call and click the Execute button, a call will be inserted in the macro.

The change you referenced is a command from inside the client. For example, if you have a macro named "heal" then typing "-macro heal" in the client (without the quotes) will play that macro as if you pressed play on the macro tab and pressed the macro's hotkey.

This I did not know. Thanks for clearing this up for me. This should make things more entertaining.

Thank you for the clarification on this. I understand what you mean now. It's trigger phrase. Similar to what triggers in zMud for playing muds. Thanks Zippy.

I'm glad I got it confused though because I did not know about the ability to call 1 macro from another. This should allow for some rather intricate automation.
