Macro Manager uses the Lua scripting language to automate functions within Hippotizer. The main display consists of a macro list, along with a tabbed display which can show either the selected macro’s script, or the properties of the selected macro.
Script view
![]()
The two circles below the script tab are status indicators. The top circle will check if the macro’s code syntax is correct. If so, the readout will say “Script is Valid”. Macros will not run if the script is not valid.
The lower circle will let the user know if the macro failed to run or was cancelled. Both lines will attempt to inform the user what line of the macro is at issue.
Console
Below the list of macros is a pin for the macro console. This can be dragged out on the pinboard, and can be set to view feedback from all macros or a specific macro. Using the “Print” command in a macro sends information to the console screen.
Hippo-Specific Lua Commands
In addition to normal Lua scripting commands and syntax there is also Hippo specific functions and parameters; these are documented here.
