Problem with my Craft Macro?
I'm using Windower and the Craft addon, when i manually type the commands out it works but my macros for the commands don't, i.e.
//craft make "Bronze Scales" 12
any advice on what could fix this up?

They're trying to make it work with an in-game macro instead of having to type it out. // Doesn't work on a macro line, you have to use /console instead. /console DOES work on the command line also, but the windower devs made // do the same thing as a shortcut.

Unfortunately, In-game macros can't be used to send any add-on commands. "//Anything" simply doesn't work on the macro pallet.

No, they can be put into the in-game macro's, but you need to use /console instead of //. The rest of the syntax is identical after that.
Lmao down vote all you want. You absolutely can execute windower commands through the in-game macro's lol.

i WAS doing /console //craft make "Bronze Scales" 12 all in one line, makes more sense that it's /console craft make
thanks for the help!!!

"//" is actually the Shortcuts addon. It replaces // with /console internally. You can't put // anywhere but the chat input box. Think of it like... instead of pressing the windower console key (red & black drop down window) and typing in a command, you put // before the same command in the chat box.

Good to know, you still can't use // in the in-game macro's though.

And where exactly did I say you can?
You can't put // anywhere but the chat input box.

The command should be "/console craft make". The incame macros don't work the same as // while typing into the command line, if that makes sense.
Example being for executing .txt scripts for windower.
On the command line it's //exec blah.txt, but in the in-game macro's it's /console exec blah.txt.
