Call option doesn't correctly recognize macro params

#1 Post by mooleh659 »

I have a macro config, which basically functions like this:

Code: Select all

automacro healRequest {
   pubm /(H|h)(ea|i)l pl(s|z)/, 5
   call {
     call healPlayer -- $.lastpub
   } 
}

macro healPlayer {
  $playerID = @player($.param1)
  do sp 28 $playerID
}
But the macro won't function correctly. I logged $.param1, seems to be null. I ran the healPlayer macro directly from the console, didn't have a problem.

I tried a different approach:

Code: Select all

automacro healRequest {
   pubm /(H|h)(ea|i)l pl(s|z)/, 5
   call {
      do macro healPlayer -- $.lastpub
   }
}
But it won't run because the plugin prefers the call instruction to be used instead.

Any other ideas so we can pass parameters to macros in automacros? I don't want to paste every instruction on every automacro, since I will be setting different triggers to perform the same command, and the macro itself might become huge.

Macro call console command isn't the same as macro call instruction internally, the latter seems to not support arguments.

Meanwhile, you can save arguments to your custom variable before calling.
