An Update on Additional Macro Slots

[dvoraen]

As a healer I use dps macros that do this:

and during ANY time I'm dpsing as a healer I get a constant error message on my screen. "Invalid Target" Yes, I am aware I'm targeting a party member; thanks you macro >.> Any way we can get rid of that?

May I introduce you to the following command (assuming your macro/-s has/have space for it)?

/? macroerror <- do this in game and read the result. Should be self-explanatory.

→Display or hide text command errors within a user macro. Any errors are displayed upon macro execution. Setting resets to on after macro is executed.

While the explanation is explanatory to a degree, it doesn't do what we want it to do. It does not remove the onscreen chime+text for things like "you can't do this as you're already doing something else" which is one major way to use the fall through quality of the macro interface. I have tested that particlar command thoroughly and can say it's useless at last for my macro error woes. It removes the error messages generated during the macro, but displays them in the end anyway. For short macros the difference is unnoticeable, in practise the command doesn't work.

Try /recasterror and /actionerror, the three together (with /macroerror) are probably what you're looking for.
