MacroQuest64

I finally decided to step into the realm of this amazing utility. The help forum and wiki are good sources of info but this 1 has me stuck. I am trying to get the Cleric Bot to run but I keep getting the infamous "Due to complete misuse bla bla error. From what I read in the wiki it has to due with a change in variable declaration. My programming skills are at Qbasic level. I know a little but not near what some of you do.

WIKI PAGE [[Identify Code Errors]] Learning to trouble shoot code is a valuable lesson.



Im pretty sure my problems lie here

/varset Classes ${String[${SpellBuff[${i},2]}].Count[,]}

/if (${Spawn[${sID}].Class.Name.Equal[${String[${SpellBuff[${i},2]}].Arg[${h},,]}]}) {

I removed the $String[ but now I have some more what look to be worse errors.

No such 'bool' member 'Arg'
test.mac@2031 (singlebuffs): /if (${Spawn[${sID}].Class.Name.Equal[${String[${SpellBuff[${i},2]}].Arg[${h},,]}]}) {
test.mac@789 (Main): /if (${Me.PctMana}>40 /if........./call SingleBuffs
Unparsable in Calculation

What it looks like is the macro is testing conditions then calling the single buff routine and I think the error lies there. Any help/ideas appreciated.

Your programming skills have nothing to do with fixing your problem. Your ability to use the search function and show signs of common sense however have a lot to do with fixing this yourself.

What is SpellBuff /declared as? If its a String, you don't need to have ${String wrapped up in the /varset. The String TLO has been removed due to people converting strings into strings in practically every macro ever created.

It looks like this
/declare SpellBuff[1,3] string outer

The reason ${String} was removed is because people were casting strings as strings. I'm not sure exactly why the devs CARE that people were doing this, but apparently they do. Anyway: and In almost all cases where you get the "String has been removed due to misuse" message, the correct answer is to just delete the ${String[]} part of the line.
