lets see if I'm on the right track here.
If I'm thinking right, petsay and beatbox are both considered emotes for macro purposes. A macro can only do one emote. If you put two on the string it'll do the last one listed.
Maybe this is where it's going wrong?

I don't think that's the case.
In fact I have no idea what the case was. I sat for 30 minutes trying to make this macro with no luck. Just now, I made a different macro: /macro Dance petsay_name "T-Bone" <em dance> and it worked. I then edited the button, changing the <em dance> to <em bbMeaty> .. and now the macro I was trying to get all that time works.
Macros seems a little... finicky. :/
New player here. Loving the game.
I have searched the forums and the Wiki for help with this and the info I have found has not helped. I am probably missing something obvious.
I'm playing around with my MM, trying to set up some fun macros for my pets but I'm having some translation from normal petsay emote to macro button trouble.
I am trying to set up my thugs so 1 drops a beatbox and then they all bust a move.
Typing - petsay_name "T-Bone" <em bbMeaty> in the chat box works perfectly. T-Bone drops the beatbox playing the Meaty track and shuffles.
So I make my macro button: macro Meaty petsay_name "T-Bone" <em bbMeaty> : but instead of T-Bone performing the BBMeaty emote, T-Bone actually says "<bbMeaty>" in chat.
Not sure what I am missing or mistyping for the macro creation/edit.
Any ideas or help?
