So I am trying to write a simple.. well in theory, macro. The idea is I want to be able to pick up an item and have it search for said item on my other toons that are logged in.

I get the item name and ID just find and can echo it .. no problems there.

Here is where I seem to just be getting my butt kicked.

Passing that ${itemName} to the others via BCAA command always comes back NULL for all the others. It would seem it is looking for that variable name locally rather then parsing it out to what its value is before sending the command.

Does that makes sense? How do you pass vars to other chars?

/varset ItemName ${Cursor}
/noparse /bcaa //bc ${ItemName}

in the Cmd window
Toon 0 "correct name
Rest toons
NULL

Any tips?

I do it a slightly different way. I have an event set up in my custom include which I have in all my macros. I can /bca whohas itemname and get responses from who has it.

Code: Select all

#event finditem "#*# whohas #1#

sub event_finditem(junk, itemname)

/if (${FindItem[${itemname}].ID}>0) /bc I have ${itemname} 
   
/return

I rocked it. Have a mac that's uses a INI to pass vars. Works flawless. Couldn't find an answer anywhere so I created my own!

Ohh that's pretty slick .. thanks for reply

Code: Select all

/noparse /bcaa //bc I have ${FindItemCount[${Ini[find.ini,LookingFor,value1]}]}

is basically what I came up with and now I just run macro pick up item on cursor and it will look through my bags for me on all my logged in toons
