Using Macros in the script editor

[london-simmer 0]

Hi,

This example is from the AAO manual and I want to execute it from the script editor (not from a file).

<Macro·Name=“strobelightmacro“>A:LIGHT·STROBE,·Bool</Macro>
(@strobelightmacro)·1·==·if{·1·(>K:STROBES_TOGGLE)·}
(A:LIGHT·STROBE,·Bool)·1·==·if{·1·(>K:STROBES_TOGGLE)·}

The Red Led on the editor is on to indicate something is wrong.

Question is, does the script editor supports macros?

Thanks.

Generally speaking, yes. Remember that macros are a global thing, once established, they are valid everywhere, not just in this script. 

I would suggest using a multi line script for this. And I am not entirely sure that it would work with the "Test" button, you may have to run it with the extra dialog.

<Macro·Name=“strobelightmacro“>A:LIGHT·STROBE,·Bool</Macro>·\n
(@strobelightmacro)·1·==·if{·1·(>K:STROBES_TOGGLE)·}·\n
(A:LIGHT·STROBE,·Bool)·1·==·if{·1·(>K:STROBES_TOGGLE)·}·\n

On a side note, to avoid typing too much, I usually prefer using registers. They have the added benefit that they can be updated too during processing.

(A:LIGHT·STROBE,·Bool)·s0
l0·1·==·if{·1·(>K:STROBES_TOGGLE)·}
l0·0·==·if{·...·}
