I am having some issues with macros will someone just give me an example of one.
"macros (client script)"
Apr 27 2002, 8:19 pm
mob/verb/macro(var/letter = "")
set hidden = 1
letter = copytext(letter,1,2)
if(letter == "s")
say()
mob/verb/say(var/message as text)
world << message

[client script]

macro
a return macro "a"
b return macro "b"
c return macro "c"
etc...

That's the way that I like it.

mob/verb
mac(l as text)
set hidden = 1
if(l == "a")
show("a")



macro
a return "mac \"a\""


gives me

loading Popup.dme
Popup.dm:22:error:return "mac \"a\"":instruction not allowed here


any ideas?

I think you need to put the macro's in a seperate script file. Go to File/New and choose Script File (.dms) and put
macro
     a return "mac \"a\""

in there.
