mob/player 
    verb
        jab() 


macro/player // i know this is wrong, but this is sorta what I'm looking for...
    A return "jab"

How can I make macros work for a certain mob, such as mob/player differ from mob/player2 so that depending on what mob you are, you have different macros.

I believe you have to set macros to the client. You could do something like I am doing in my game which calls a proc and uses whatever skill they have hotkeyed to that number...

client/command_text=".alt "
client/script={"
macro
    one
        set name = "1"
        return "Attack"
    two
        set name = "2"
        return "Block"
    three
        set name = "3"
        return "HK3"
    four
        set name = "4"
        return "HK4"
    five
        set name = "5"
        return "HK5"
    six
        set name = "6"
        return "HK6"
    seven
        set name = "7"
        return "HK7"
    eight
        set name = "8"
        return "HK8"
    nine
        set name = "9"
        return "HK9"
    zero
        set name = "0"
        return "HK0"
"}


You can also change the macros. Not sure if you have to have set name="0". I was told to put that when asking how to make macros with the numbers NOT on the keypad.

Ill be honest, i don't understand your code and i dont know what you mean really. maybe you mis-interpreted my question...

ill have 2 chars let say..
hulk and cyclops

cyclops will have different verbs than hulk, he will have.
mob/cyclops/verb/beam()
while the hulk will have...
mob/hulk/verb/crush()

now, I am trying to get A ,as macro, to be beam when you are cyclops and crush when you are the hulk yet they will both use A.

Make the macro goto a proc then check if the player is hulk or cyclops and run the correct verb for them.

A la:

macro
  a return "do-special-move"

mob/verb/special()
  set hidden=1
  set name = "do special move"
  if(class==cyclops) beam()
  else if(class==hulk) smash()
  else src << "You have no special move!"
