So i used Macro: Macros to setup the following Macro in Update 8
Macro Set:
Shaman
Macros for Shaman:
Watershield
Macro Usage: /click JMB_Watershield
Macro Name: Watershield
Macro Tag: All
Macro Text: /cast water shield
I've done the following:
In chat: /click JMB_Watershield - Nothing happens
In Macro which is dragged to a button slot: /click JMB_Watershield - Nothing happens
Bound the macro 'j' - nothing happens
I'm not sure what im doing wrong. The character in question has the 'all' tag
Also, /cast water shield works in other macros or typing it into the chat window.
Edit - got it working:
It seems I have to make everything a variable or it doesn't work. In the example above I was only able to get it to work after creating a variable like so:
Variable Set: normal
Variable name: watershield
Variable Value: water shield
Macro Set: Shaman
Macro Name: watershield
Macro Value: /cast #watershield#
is this the expected reaction, or should it work if I type in a basic macro?

Please get update 9, it contains a bug fix that was stopping the macro stuff from working properly.
You shouldn't need variables to get it to work. Normal macros should be fine. You do need a variable set, even if it is empty.
To get the macros built in order to use them, make sure you click the use button at the top of the Macro: Macros options. You should see the macros being built up in the chat log.

Holy crap batman. So there is no limit to the amount of macros? JAMBA replaces the variables and writes the macros to WoW?
I *have* to give this a shot. I have macros with multiple modifiers in them to reduce the amount of macros I make. With this it would make things much easier as well as the ability to slot in PuGs, add a variable for their name and then they just become part of my rotations.
Neat.

That's correct Robin; let me know what you think, if anything needs improving, I'd like to know! If you cannot work it out, please post here and I'll help you out.
I use it exclusively now for my teams, I have all the macros bound to keys, which means that when I add a new toon, I don't need to update any keybindings. The toon automatically gets a trade macro, mount macro, follow macro, master switching macro and depending on what class, various dps / heal macros.
I'd love to know what you are using it for.

I have been wanting to try out the macro feature and I am sure you are anxious to get some feedback I would love to see some additional macro examples or use cases. I am just not creative enough to see how I can really take full advantage of this.
I do admit it seems to have a bit of a learning curve for me I am sure I am over complicating it.

I am away from home for the next few days. I will post some examples when I get back.

I would find it incredibly handy if you could assign a default macro/variable set to each toon in the Jamba-Team settings, which they automatically apply and use on startup.
I've currently got an "Initialization" macro setup on all my toons that I use to set them to the proper variables and macros, but it would let me remove a binding and clean things up a lot if they loaded the macros/vars automatically... Especially since it's the only macro I have to manage outside Jamba. :D
P.S., loving it so far!!
-
The toons will remember the last variable and macro set that were using and apply those on startup again. (Make sure you are using the latest update of Jamba 0.5.)
Will this be enough for you? I could add another configuration page so you could assign a variable set and macro set to a toon, but I want to know if the auto loading of the previous used sets will fulfill your requirements. Let me know what you would like.

What's the limit on the Macro length? Macaroon has a limit of 1024 for it's macros ... does Jamba-Macro have the same limit? Additionally, it does not appear that /script commands can be run from Jamba -
/script SetView(4);SetView(4);
for example does not work.

OK, I'm a long time multiboxer, and long time macro IDIOT.
Here's what I would like to see happen with this macro thing (and, your new jamba looks GREAT for it, maybe you can tell me if this is possible.)
OK, so for my team, I am currently using a macro like the following bound to each of my "leader" buttons: (F4-F8)
/target "Acct1Toon1"
/target "Acct1Toon2"
/target "Acct1Toon3"
/target "Acct1Toon4"
/focus
/follow
/assist
etc for all 5 of my accounts
the reason I have this, is to save on macros, where I used to use "/focus "Act1Toon1" style macros, which work well except need a new macro for EVERY toon in my extensive list (going on 24 toons now).
OK, here's what I would like to see, an ability to still use an active "/focus Act1Toon1" in macros somewhere, and I assume I can somehow use "/focus #master#" and then I can simply make a macro for making each toon the master and pushing team settings?
The reason I want /focus "toonname" is because with
/target "toonname"
/focus
vehicle focus doesn't work, and I run WG a lot, as well as many tournament dailies and ToCs so my vehicle use is essential. Someone with better knowledge of this system can tell me how to make this work, I would really appreciate it.
