Air _King	How do i set macros so when a usr hits five on the keypad or e or whatever without hitting enter it triggers a verb? I had: macro 5 return "open" Macros .dm:2:error: expected expression Then I tried: macro o return "open" Macros .dm:2:error:return "fire":instruction not allowed here then I tried: client macro o return "open" it compiles fine, but doesn't work when I run it.

I had:

Macros .dm:2:error: expected expression

Then I tried:
macro
o return "open"
Macros .dm:2:error:return "fire":instruction not allowed here

then I tried:
client
macro
o return "open"
it compiles fine, but doesn't work when I run it.

macro
5 return "open"

it just needs to be put it in a dms script to work.

Evilkevkev	I hope you're joking, but if not: the same way you create a DMI (Dream Maker Icon) and a DMP (Dream Maker Map?). I know you can at least do those.

Evilkevkev	.DM is a "code file" according to Dream Maker. A "script file" is a .DMS
