Macro issue, maybe naming issue as well

[turbopinto]

So on my 5 hunter team, I named all my pets the same as the main char: Æni. This has had the unintended result of my macro failing, but only on the 5th character, and only sometimes. It keeps giving me the "unknown unit" error. Here's the macro just for reference. (yes its convoluted, but it works for me xcept that last char sometimes)

/target [target= Æni, nodead]; [target= Ænia, nodead]; [target= Ænie, nodead]; [target= Ænii, nodead]; [target= Æniy, nodead];
/follow target
/target=targettarget, nodead, harm, exists

Any ideas? im thinking of picking up bellygrub when its available, and changing each chars pet to their name, so i dont have 5 Æni around to screw up the macro.

Just a wild guess ... think Æni the prob
So yeh got 5 pets named Æni right.
I wonder why yeh haven't gotten more errors with the first part "/target [target= Æni, nodead]"
there is no way to tell whether yer trying to target Æni the pets or Æni the char
its gonna match the first "Æni " it come across if its a pet and it doesn't have a target yet figure yeh get that error.

hmm I ran into this problem a while ago :S

whereas the Letter Ð works fine in my macros the letter Æ does not.. I don't know why that is but it is rather frustrating :S can't macro my warlock into many macros (Ælures is his name).

Unfortunately you may have to change your name :S but try everything you can first before changing name, it's possible it's just coincidence you are having the same problem as me on a similar letter

EDIT: Hmm soz just reread your post, seems your having a different problem :S ur able to macro with that letter ok on some of your toons? I can't figure out what's going on there then :S

I don't use names in almost any of my macros. I only use it for invites and to set focus. So maybe if you focused your main char and had the alts just use focus for follows and assists, it wouldn't mess up. Just a thought.

Not sure if this is your problem, but ust a little thought.. I think special letters like this is case sensitive,while normal a-z is not. So be careful to distinguish between Æ and æ
