Macro in a macro? Why do they conflict?

Sometimes I can have a macro switch macros. For example, adding the
/macro
command inside another macro.

But the one I'm trying to run now has conflicts from it's host macro. It runs fine on its own, but when I try and use /macro walkpath from another macro, it gives me variable errors

I've tried using the /zapvars command before the /macro command with no luck.

Is there anyway to end a macro, then have another start? Maybe using a delay or something?

Thanks!

best bet use a main program for control and then copy the other .mac files and copy them into .inc files #include them and rename the mains and jsut call them.

Sorry that may be a bit confusing. If someone cares to expalin better be my guest or i can try again later when im nto ina rush

Could be that you are using the same variable names in both and they are conflicting due to that. Try clearing all variables just before calling the new macro.

I got it working!

#include probably would have been smarter, but I just copied over the /declare and /var statements over to the host macro.
