Do macro errors spam everyone's chat?

Hey, quick question: I was just wondering if my macro errors spammed peoples chat (Including the GM?) Thanks

Yes, and it's getting really annoying. ;-) If you are getting macro errors. Post your macro and the error from chat and I'm sure you'll get some help ASAP. Cheers

I very extremely muchly with pleading puppy-dog eyes suggest vehemently that you create a "workspace" campaign for yourself and setup/test your macros for your characters by importing them via the Vault. Once perfected and prettified, you can copy/paste them to notepad or something and back into your live campaign character. This lets you spam and test to your hearts content without clogging up the chat log of the live campaign. Sadly... I learned this lesson late in life.. it's too late for me. I've sown too much chaos in my time and chat logs have suffered...so much suffering. But it's not too late! There is still time for you, at least. Head my words son... HEAD THEM!

I do have a macro test campaign set up already, its just for certain macros I use @{selected|whatever} and certain tokens i have control over may not have have the 'whatever' attribute - resulting in an error if I have the wrong token selected and spamming the chat.

What should players do when they're not mentors, and thus don't have access to the scripts their GM's campaign has, such as say Powercards? ^_^ Sadly, /talktomyself doesn't work for API'd macros. This is one reason why I save the session log at the end of each session and then nuke the chat archive before the next session. (I test all my GM macros on the live campaign because I know, deep down in my heart, that trying to coordinate things between test and live versions of my campaign will see them not staying sync'd. Easier to just keep one version. x.x )

Oh your right, and several times I have been confused as to why my api calls don't work while testing things... You would think I would have remembered that.

On a different note, I don't think that the orange syntax errors show for everyone, just the user.
