Difference between RunMacroLua and Ingame Chat?

[Suspect 0]

Hello,

i currently have a problem with the <QuestsSorted Action="RunMacroLua" NameClass="/click Button" /> in Quester. If i call it like that in my profile i get an addon error ingame. If i call it in WoW manually in the chat with /click Button i get no error. What is the difference between these two types? I am trying to click a button from an addon.

I'm looking for a simple possibility to either run a macro ingame or just press a keyboard-button ingame.

Kind regards

One thing you can try:

        wManager.Wow.Helpers.Lua.RunMacroText("/click MultiBarBottomLeftButton1");

 

The macro needs to be here:

Hello, you can try the following examples to either run a macro or using "Keyboard" class to press a button:

 

Run wow macro(only work on tbc and above): open worldmap by click.xml

Press button for 2 seconds: move forward by keyboard button press.xml  Available keys to press: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.keys(v=vs.71).aspx

I have a similar problem, wrobot is able to run /inv [name] but cannot use runmacrolua to run /uninvite [name] .

It's Lua.RunMacroText("/uninvite " + playerName) or Lua.LuaDoString("RunMacroText('/uninvite " +playerName + "')")
