# SymbolChat v3.0.0
Send raid marker sequences to your entire group via macros — fully functional in combat.
---
## How it works
The **Raid Leader** binds symbol macros to keys and presses them in order.
Each macro sends a code in instance chat (`/i`). The addon reads the codes, builds the sequence, and automatically broadcasts it to the raid once all 5 symbols are in.
Everyone with the addon installed sees the markers displayed as a **U-shaped semicircle** on their screen.
---
## First-time Setup
On first login after installing, a popup will ask whether you are a Raid Leader.
- **Yes, I'm RL** — creates the 5 symbol macros automatically and explains how to use them.
- **No** — closes the popup. You can still create the macros later with `/sc createmacros`.
---
## Setting Up Macros
Run this command once if you skipped the first-time popup:
```
/sc createmacros
```
This creates **5 character macros** in your macro panel:
| Macro | Sends in chat |
|-------|--------------|
| Circle | `/i 84132` |
| T | `/i 57649` |
| X | `/i 29381` |
| Diamond | `/i 63947` |
| Triangle | `/i 71524` |
Open your macro panel (**Shift+P** → Macros), find the macros, and bind them to keys.
During a raid, press the keys in order — the addon does the rest.

## Settings
Go to **Interface > AddOns > SymbolChat** to adjust:
- Popup duration (3–30 seconds)
- Popup scale (50–200%)
- Dark background behind the popup
- Popup position reset
The **minimap button** can be dragged around the minimap.
**Ctrl + click** checks who in the raid has the addon.
**Ctrl + right-click** toggles the dark background behind the popup.

- Works in raids, parties, and dungeons
