# Macros

A macro acts as shorthand for longer inputs. You could for example shorten a command with multiple parameters, into a concise macro that is faster to write.

## Creating macros[​](https://ghostlike.dk/docs/macros#creating-macros) <a href="#creating-macros" id="creating-macros"></a>

Create a macro with the `macro.add` command, followed by the input you want to substitute.\
Typing `macro.add loadmain 'scene.load MainScene'` results in a macro called #loadmain.\
When the input gets processed, #loadmain will automatically be replaced with `scene.load MainScene`.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

Alternatively, macros can be created by typing #name, followed by the input.\
For example: `#loadmain 'scene.load MainScene'`
{% endhint %}

<summary>More macro usages</summary>

Let's say we have added a macro with `macro.add loadmain 'scene.load MainScene'`

```css
When typing '#loadmain'
It replaces your input with 'scene.load MainScene' 
```

Now let's say we add a macro like this: `macro.add emerald (0,208,98)`

```css
When typing 'fog.color #emerald'
It replaces your input with 'fog.color (0,208,98)'
```

Which makes your fog an objectively beautiful emerald green.

## Viewing current macros[​](https://ghostlike.dk/docs/macros#viewing-current-macros) <a href="#viewing-current-macros" id="viewing-current-macros"></a>

For an overview of all macros currently registered, simply execute the `macro.getall` command.

## Removing macros[​](https://ghostlike.dk/docs/macros#removing-macros) <a href="#removing-macros" id="removing-macros"></a>

To remove a macro, type `macro.remove` followed by the name of the macro, excluding the #.\
`macro.remove loadmain`\
You can also remove all registered macros with `macro.removeall`
