You need to replace the Command "DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(text)" with "SendChatMessage(text, type)"

Source code

/run local mainClass, subClass = UnitClass("target"); SendChatMessage(UnitName("target").." is a lv "..UnitLevel("target").." "..mainClass.."/"..subClass.." and has "..UnitChangeHealth("target").." health.", "SAY");

Just a hint: Surround code with the [NOPARSE]

	Source code
1

[/NOPARSE] tags when you post it on the forums. This will greatly enhance the readablity.

Thank you this was a great help... I do however have 1 more question if you don't mind? I have been trying to have a macro get the amount of Energy of Justic in my bag, and then say it to me. However it wont seem to work. I fear I am using the wrong command.

	Source code
1	/script SendChatMessage("I Have "..GetCountInBagByName(Energy of Justice).." EOJ", "SAY");

You did nearly everything correct. The only thing you've forgotten is that you need to surround strings with quotation marks.

	Source code
1 2 3	variable = "string" variable = 123 variable = true

You could also use the text function, which automatically returnes the localized string from a given key. Then your macro could also work with a different client language or after the item's name has changed. But I think for your purposes that would be an overkill.
