When I use My huddles I have a Dance card Loaded with my dances and all works well. But I would like the ability to run a Macro command (basicly just some chat) without stopping dancing is this possible?

Dialogs work different from other types of speech. When you use a [DIALOG] the chat is actually coming from your avatar (and thus is white). In the other cases the chat is coming from the HUD itself and when chat comes from an object, it will be in the other color.

its a great tool, thx for it! Now i try to use it as a makro chat-writer. But as usual it writes in green object-color when i use the macro:
[NAME]3rd Announcement|And let me hear some noise!
But when i go over the DIALOG-Makro it writes in white-chat-color:
[NAME]Multi-Gadget Menu|[DIALOG]Pick a command for your Multi Gadget, And let me hear some noise!,hi2,hi3,
How does this works? I look for a makro gadget that writes in white.

I’m wondering about the new behavior of stopping the current animation when we load new dance/macro cards though… I used to be able to switch between groups of dance cards using the load notecard aspect of the macros and remain animated but now it seems to stop animations as soon as we click the macro buttons (where a notecard loading macro might be defined) or the disk icon.

@Elyza – If by gesture you mean an actual SL gesture, they cannot be incorporated into a macro. Scripts cannot play gestures. The only way they work is when they are in your inventory and you have activated them.

I knew it ever since I was putting the names of those dances in there. I was putting “dance_8″ and the animation name is “dance 8″ and it is now working awesome!

[ao_off]|dance 8|20|blueberry muffin|35|caramel|25|disco fever|19|release|28|[repeat]
dance 8
blueberry muffin
caramel
disco fever
release

Now the only thing not working is [ao_off] is that because of capitalization or the “_” shouldn’t be there?

If I wanted to give that button a name at the top like “Mix” or something along those lines would that be possible with several dances in there?

If it’s spamming dance names, it means that the dance names are misspelled in some way. I know it may look right, but it might be subtle, an extra space, something capitalized wrong. The best way to make sure you have the exact name is to copy and paste the names, as I describe here: http://imakehuddles.com/wordpress/?page_id=44

“To get the exact name of the animation, you can right click on it and choose properties. An info window will pop up and you can copy the animation name directly from that pop up by using Ctrl-C. You can then paste the name of the animation directly into the notecard using Ctrl-V.”
