Macros!

Alright. I've been having a lot of trouble with this. For a spell system I'm programming, you select three spells (or Active Spells) which can be used via keyboard macros. A different key for each Active Spell. I created a .dms file, defined three different keys and then created the appropriate verbs to go along with the macros. I run the game, and it tells me that the keys I defined aren't actually defined.

What's going on? =/ I'm stumped at this point.

You've use the wrong macro scripts? To find these macros, use Hiead's Macro Finder.

An other situation is that the verb is not named the same as the macro, eg:
macro
  s return "hi"

mob/verb/hi()
   set name="OMGZ"//note that the macro won't work, because this is now named OMGZ not hi (caps sensitive)

Do you have client/script defined? You can't have both a .dms file and client/script defined in the same game - one overrides the other, can't remember which. Probably client/script.

Yeah, knew this. So I removed where I defined client/script, hoping it'd work. Still no luck. Not sure what the deal is with this. =/
