One-Button Macro for Multiple Consumables?

[Hunteryx-burning-blade (Hunteryx)]

Hello,

Currently I’ve got a macro for consumables like health potions, healthstones, etc. set to different modifier buttons. But what I’m looking for is a macro that basically does a if (X) exists, then use (X.) If not then use (Y) operation, without throwing errors, and without using modifier keys.

Specifically, one like this:

Use [Healthstone] if exists, if not use [Coastal Healing Potion]

What would be SUPER awesome is if conditionals could be worked in, so when I’m in BGs it would go [Healthstone] if exists, if not and @target is in BG, use [Third Wind Potion] if exists, if not then [Coastal Health Potion], but when I wasn’t it would default back to [Healthstone] -> [Coastal Health Potion.]

I have my doubts, but is there any way to do this in the game currently? Thanks in advance for any help.

Not possible. Read the pin.

Macros cannot make smart decisions for you. They can’t cast spells based on cooldown, or check if a buff is active, or magically fit all your abilities onto one button.

I was aware they couldn’t do smart decisions for abilities, but didn’t know if they could do roll-overs for consumables.

They’re all off the GCD, makes it a smart decision.

As an alternative there are some commands such as IsShiftKeyDown() that you should be able to use to set this up with 1 button (with a modifier). It might be easier to just make some keybindings though.

You don’t need api’s to do something like this:
/cast [mod:shift]Healthstone;Coastal Healing potion

You can also do this:
/cast Coastal Healing potion
/cast Healthstone

Triggers both of them with one activation

I appreciate the reply, but if you read my original post, I already use modifiers. I’ve got five things macro’d to one button, controlled by them. Also, I know I can activate multiple items with one activation, the point however was to NOT do that. I didn’t want to blow expensive Coastal Healing Potions if I had a Healthstone in my inventory. And on most of my characters I’ve already run out of keybinds that don’t require some gymnastic fingerwork to use.

Hi - can you share the macro you built (not the conditional, just the modifier). Thanks

Either this,
hold ctrl or alt and click macro=Healthstone if you have one, or does nothing if you don’t
hold shift and click macro=rejuvenation pot which does a small heal and doesn’t share a CD with healing pots
hold nothing and click=regular healing pot

#showtooltip
/use [mod]Healthstone;[mod:shift]Coastal Rejuvenation Potion;Abyssal Healing Potion

Or this, if you can’t reliably mooch from a lock and don’t want to see the ? icon

#showtooltip
/use [mod]Coastal Rejuvenation Potion;Abyssal Healing Potion
/use Healthstone

hold ctrl or alt or shift and click macro=rejuvenation pot which does a small heal and doesn’t share a CD with healing pots
hold nothing and click=regular healing pot
And in addition to whatever happens above, also use a Healthstone if you have one

What you can do is watch the BAG_UPDATE event and then auto rewrite the macro to Healthstone. This works when out of combat and results in a button that you can push that will have the functionality you describe.
