I made a macro like

ACTIONS : Run Shortcut 1
ACTIONS : Run Shortcut 2
ACTIONS : Run Shortcut 3
ACTIONS : Run Shortcut 4

After targeted one enemy,I press the macro button,but only the first and the last spells were activated.
I felt all the spells in the macro were activated in the same time.(DISORDER??)

I dont know much about macro.I need some help

Thanks :)

Your macro works fine.
It does exactly what you told it, i.e. pressing hotkey 1, hotkey 2, hotkey 3, hotkey 4 in quick succession. When you try that with your keyboard, what happens is: Action 1 is started, Action 2 is sent into the queue, Action 3 is sent to the queue overwriting action 2, Action 4 is queued overwriting 3. So unless Action 1 terminates instantly, only Action 4 ends up waiting for Action 1 to finish.

And no, there's no delay function, and yes, that's by design ;)
