Ok, I'm trying to test macros(Use then eventually :P), but I can't even seem to ge this one working. This is what I have been testing:

DM file
-----------------------------
mob/verb
blah()
dir=turn(NORTH,135)

DMS file
-----------------------------
macro
e return "blah"

I have looked at Deadron's macro demo and besides him being bigger than mine it seems the same. I don't have any macros already set for e, and Deadron's works for me when I try to use it. So I was thinking maybe there was something already in my game that conflicts with these types of macros, any ideas?

Do you have the alt box set as (macro)?
client/command_text = ".Alt "

That doesn't seem to work either. I've tried putting the same thing into another game and it seems to work. I'm pretty confused right now. O.o

Is client/command_text being set anywhere else in your code?

Yes, but even when I comment it out the macro doesn't work. :|

Did you remember to set 
client
    script = 'yourmacrosfile.dms'
?
Setting client/macro_mode = 1 might also help.

Thanks Jon. My current script var must have been toying with it so I put the <style> for the text display in the same .dms file and it worked. :)
