Mana/Health Potion Macro

I am making macros so that when i click the button it uses one of 2 phirius pots depending on what % my hp/mp is at. I had no problems with the hp macro, but the mana one is giving me troubles. It does not seem to check my mana % before using a pot, so even if its at 100% it will still use the first pot listed in the macro. If anyone could please give me some assistance on the problem with my macro, or if this feature has been disabled it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This is the macro I have made, and described effects of above -
/script if (UnitMana("player")/UnitMaxMana("player")<=.7) then UseItemByName("Phirius Elixir - Type B"); elseif (UnitMana("player")/UnitMaxMana("player")<=.8) then UseItemByName("Phirius Elixir - Type A"); end

The last time I tried something like this, I could get my macro/add-on to properly select which of the Phirius Potions, Elixirs or Special Water to use, and tell me so in the chat window, but it wouldn't actually use the item. Seemed like they had disabled the use of food and potions via the UseItemByName() function at one point. It may work again now, so I'll test it when I have the chance. Here is the code I was using in my add-on to use them.

I am not very good with macro's but I use an addon called "NTBuff" and love it! I can basically set not only spell buffs (Keeps checking them to be sure they are active). I can also setup potions/heal spell macros... If I am under a certian % health it uses X. If I am under a certian % mana is uses X. If my health falls below 10% it uses "Candy"! So at least I get to live for 5 more seconds. Anyways not sure if you are against macros but I love it.

Another thing you can do with ntbuff is to set up to switch gear if under designated %.

ntBuff is very helpful to keep my buffs running all the time, for example to use Cursed Fangs I have to have Fang Ritual running all the time (15 min buff) and ntBuff does much better job then I. :)

Same for housekeeper pots, on all the time. :)

I am having issue with ntBuff not giving me numbers of action bars since last update. I might have to reinstall it.

Ok I managed to figure out the problem, I play a K/W and it's 72/72, so i like to play on the w/k for more dps, the macro works fine for me on k/w, but on w/k, under my portrait the mana comes under the rage bar, and it seems that it looks to see what percent my rage is at instead of my mana. I continued further to test more macro parts I found on romwiki, and I came up with UnitSkill, and UnitMaxSkill. From what I understand the "Mana" is the first bar under your health, and the "Skill" is the second bar, even if the second bar is the mana O.o

HP macro(replace the potions with Type C,D, etc. and change the .7 or .8 to the appropriate decimal percentage)-
/script if (UnitHealth("player")/UnitMaxHealth("player")<=.7) then UseItemByName("Phirius Potion - Type B"); elseif (UnitHealth("player")/UnitMaxHealth("player")<=.8) then UseItemByName("Phirius Potion - Type A"); end

MP macro(mana bar right under health ex.Health/Mana/Rage, change things like the health potion macro)-
/script if (UnitMana("player")/UnitMaxMana("player")<=.7) then UseItemByName("Phirius Elixir - Type B"); elseif (UnitMana("player")/UnitMaxMana("player")<=.8) then UseItemByName("Phirius Elixir - Type A"); end

MP macro(second bar is the mana ex.Health/Rage/Mana, again change things like the health potion macro)-
/script if (UnitSkill("player")/UnitMaxSkill("player")<=.7) then UseItemByName("Phirius Elixir - Type B"); elseif (UnitSkill("player")/UnitMaxSkill("player")<=.8) then UseItemByName("Phirius Elikir - Type A"); end

ntBuff is an old add-on and encouraging people to use it is not always a good thing.

If you want to ensure you use the right phirius potion at the right time. It is best you keep those buttons on your bar or use DIYCE 2.0 to do it.

DIYCE 2.0 can easily make a potion button. If you look at my R/S DIYCE, you will see ... how to implement potions and adding fake-cooldowns to them to ensure you do not spam the wrong button.

A very good point. I've modified my existing macro script/add-on to look specifically by primary and secondary class to see which bar it needs to look at for energy, rage, focus or mana levels. Useful if you are playing two classes that share the same pool, like Warrior/Champion, Mage/Priest, etc.
