It works for me.
What I did was to take the default container XML file, copy it over to my custom UI, and edit it to remove the title bar. It now hits every slot and every button without a problem.

Is there a way to drop an item in an environmental container yeet without using x y coordinates?
I have tried it a few times using /click left Enviro_0 but nothing happens.

If this doesn't work try using the default UI.
I noticed that it didn't work when I used my custom UI (AYA). Default UI worked fine. Same with merchant window.

Using the default container xml file and modifying it for no titlebar did the trick.
I just posted a macro for creating metal rings in the Depot area, and I was amazed at the speed of the combines.
Great work by the devs to get these functions working again!

lol And I just spent 30 minutes yesterday making metal rings for shadowscream by hand.
All this poking around in the code, I never really have time to actually write macros.

You and the other devs are doing amazing work McKorr, and I know I appreciate it.
One thing I might try to do is make a universal built on this macro, but am not sure how to parse something like:
/macro universal "Water Flask" "File" "Large Brick of Ore"
Could anyone post a short snippet of code here that shows how to do this for up to say 5 components?

I think there used to be a script for that already, syntax was something like /mac combine <combiner type> <component1> <amount 1> <component 2> <amount 2> ... I think it only works with 4 items or less, unless $pN has been increased? Think that's controlled with MAX_STACKVARS in MQ.h... maybe we could raise that to 20 or even 30 in the CVS?
