Broken Mastermind Emotes

I have been using binds and macros for pet emotes and actions for years, for the most part they have always worked.

I recently created a new MM and copied over some of the macros i used. When I tested them they did not work! So, thinking it might have been an issue with copying, i tried the original macros on the original toon. Again, broken...

Here is what happens...

I created the macro: /macro Idle petsay_name Fish <em newspaper>$$petsay_name Little <em teabag>$$petsay_name Gaspipe <em boombox>$$petsay_name Big <em flippingcoin>$$petsay_name Animal <em martialarts>$$

Now, my pets are named Little Vinnie, Gaspipe, The Fish, Big Joey, Big Vinnie and The Animal.

This used to work fine, they all did something, now it seems when I use it I get an error saying PetCommandFailNoMatch, from the first pet i think, then rest of the pets "say" their emotes in the pet chat channel.

They say it like Little Vinnie: <em teabag>

Each command works when done individually, but something breaks it when I put them all in one macro using the $$ as seperators. Even when only combining two, they breakm, so it's not that I am trying to string to many together.

Any recent changes I missed? or anyone see an error I am making? I would really appreciate any help you all can give, thanks!

FMJ, I had the same thing happen to my MM and her zoms. I had a whole routine set up for them where they sang the YMCA song, complete with emotes. The binds got borked and messed up the whole thing. I fooled around with the binds and finally got them working again, but I had to do some revamping. Here's an example; in order to make the macro work I had to place the speech command before and after the emote...

/macro YMCA petsay_name "Mithras" They have everything <em welcome>They have everything <em point>that young men can enjoy! <em dance>You can hang out with all the boys!

The problem was the beginning of the macro...it would not show up till I did the above. Now my zoms perform their songe, much to the delight of their audiences.
