Healthstones Addon/Macro

I've been wondering if this would be possible for a while now and I could not find a better place on these forums to post it than here.

In short I want a macro for Healthstones. So that I can have one button instead of three. Also it would use the highest rank one first then the second and finally the third.

Do you know if this is possible to do with macros or would I require an addon. Its just a bit annoying having to have three healthstones as buttons.

Thanks guys!

Assigning one button with "Autobar" works.

/Use container 1,12 etc may also work, but you have to put your healthstones allways to the same positions in your bag.

A macro like this should work I think if you don't mind error message spam.

/use hs1
/use hs2
/use hs3

Where hs# is the name of the Healthstone of course.

Autobar has had the nasty problem of not updating the button mid combat since 2.0, so that won't work unfortunately.

Isnt the problem with that macro that all healthstones have the same name, and thus it will randomly pick one? (not that thats a big problem though, just checking)

They are all named "Master Healthstone" so a simple
#showtooltip
/use Master Healthstone
will do exactly what you need.

On a related note, I'm trying to figure out how to make one macro to use all of my mana gems on my mage. Right now I have:

#showtooltip
/use Mana Emerald
/use Mana Ruby
/use Mana Citrine

This works out alright in function, but it annoys me that the icon remains at Mana Emerald 0 even if I use the Emerald and have a Ruby/Citrine sitting in my bags. Is there any way to have the icon update to whatever the highest gem is?

/castsequence works for items as well, so you could just go for:

/castsequence Master Healthstone, Super Healing Potion

Of course, it'd never reach the Super Healing Potion part if you don't have a Master Healthstone to use, so use with caution. You probably also want to add something like reset=combat or reset=120 to it.

The /castsequence posted by Chicken just below you should do the trick.

Make the macro icon to be the red ? with the black background. This dynamically changes the macro icon in your toolbar to change depending on which spell/item is next.

That doesn't work actually. If you have many /casts in a row it'll always show the icon of the first one. What does work is using that icon and doing this with your macro:

/castsequence reset=combat Mana Emerald, Mana Ruby, Mana Citrine

This will use each gem in order from most mana to least mana recovered, and will reset to the first gem after combat ends (Based on the assumption that when combat ends you'll be re-conjuring your gems).

What order does it use the healthstones in though?

Highest to lowest?

Or is it based on the position in your bags?

EDIT: Confirmed that the order the stones are used is based on their position in your bags.
