Hey all. I've seen people do some really amazing stuff with macros. Things like adding templates with images, really flavorful looking result screens for attacks and healing. The things in the Share your Macros thread (5 years old mind you) are so cool! I would love to be able to do those things myself but I have no idea where to even start. I can't figure out what Macros do and don't use API, if I'm copy/pasting a macro and it breaks, I don't even know where to begin to figure out what the issue is.
I already read the wiki and other related stuff, it's helped a little, but it still feels very basic and doesn't go into the really crazy stuff.
So are there any good tutorials for someone with zero programming background to teach me how this stuff works? Starting from the basics and going up to the advanced stuff?
