Interacting with a running macro

Post by fryfrog » Wed Aug 20, 2003 9:46 am

Stupid variable question.

While a macro is running, would a user typing "/varset v23 1" effect the macro (assuming it is using v23 for something of course)? Would this be a simple way to interact with a running script?

Would using its defined name work also?

#define Dogs v23

and after macro is running "/varset Dogs 1"?
