Weak Auras. Track healer's mana in lfg

[notseamus]

I am looking to set up a text aura that shows the percent mana the healer has in a random. I have played around with status>power>unit. Setting to party1-4 does will show the mana of that player, but it doesn't seem that the healer will always be a specific number. Anyone have any ideas?

Untested, but this should return your healer's mana percentage.

function()
    for i=1,GetNumGroupMembers() do
        if UnitGroupRolesAssigned("party"..i)=="HEALER" then
            return format("%.1f%%",UnitPower("party"..i)*100/UnitPowerMax("party"..i))
        end
    end
end

Where would that go? Custom trigger? Custom function for the text (using %c)?


edit: I guess I got it working. It seems to be working at least. Thank you

It actually could go in a lot of things. What I'd do iis make a text weakaura pop up somewhere near the middle of your screen


custom text:

function()
return "Healer mana is low!"
end

custom trigger:

function()
for i=1,GetNumGroupMembers() do
if UnitGroupRolesAssigned("party"..i)=="HEALER" then
local curmana = UnitPower("party"..i)
local maxmana = UnitPowerMax("party"..i)
local percmana = curmana/maxmana
if percmana <= 30 then
return true
else end
end
end
end

I dont know lua and I'm at work so I cant test it, but that SHOULD only show up if your healer is under 30% mana

Im sure theres something like this floating around to check your healers average mana in a raid, if anyone happens to have a link to that it'd be useful
