Macro Menu Bars

[Rongway]

Edit:
Now that I think a bit through the conditions to check for, the if statement would need to be a bit more complicated than just checking if the bar was visible... and it's wandering into needing global variables of some kind. Either way, I'd still be interested to know if there's a way to populate a hotbar without doing a copy.

You'll probably only be able to do what you want if you can refactor in some way that doesn't use control structures at all. Besides copying whole bars and toggling Display or Sharing states, there aren't really any other workarounds at your disposal.

Based just on what you've said so far, I suspect that what you want to do is something like this:

Click caster role button: caster jobs appear on jobBar
Click caster role button: job bar disappears
Click healer role button: healer jobs appear on jobBar
Click caster role button: caster jobs appear on jobBar

The pseudocode for that being

//  Caster role category button
if (jobBar.currentRole == caster)
    hide jobBar
else
    jobBar.currentRole <= caster
    show jobBar

//  Healer role category button
if (jobBar.currentRole == healer)
    hide jobBar
else
    jobBar.currentRole <= healer
    show jobBar

which is deceptively different from the above example! This one can't be refactored in the same way. If this is in fact what you want to do, you won't be happy with the macro translation above because it leads to this:

Click caster role button: caster jobs appear on jobBar
Click caster role button: job bar disappears
Click healer role button: healer jobs appear on jobBar
Click caster role button: job bar disappears

So if what you want is to be able to hide the job bar when you're not using it, you should just use a wait timer to hide the bar automatically after a few seconds.

//  Caster role category button
/hotbar copy thm 1 share 9
/hotbar display 9 on <wait.15>
/hotbar display 9 off

//  Healer role category button
/hotbar copy thm 2 share 9
/hotbar display 9 on <wait.15>
/hotbar display 9 off
