    Need Macro Help

    So I have almost got all my macros for my UI exactly as I want it. However I want to know if there is a way to hide a hotbar with like /hotbar display 9 and then have it wait for a certain time before coming back.
    I.e.
    /hotbar display 9
    /wait 25
    /hotbar display 9

    That does not give me the results I’m looking for

    Waits are a bit weird, but they were built in such a way so they don't eat up precious macro lines.

    What you're looking for is...

    /hotbar display 9 off <wait.25>
    /hotbar display 9 on

    I just tested this with my own /hotbar macros, and it works. I hope that helps!

    While the version where the first line ends in <wait.25> is preferred because it doesn't take up a whole line, the version with

    /wait 25

    will work the same. Are you activating some other macro after pressing your temp hide macro? Only one macro can be running at a time, so activating another macro during that 25 second wait will cancel the rest of the original macro. You can avoid this with a /macrolock (/mlock) at the beginning of your original macro, which will force it to finish before you can fire a different macro; whether this does or does not work with what you are trying to do however will be up to you.
