I just can't get working the configuration I want. Any help and especially complete DogTag strings would be greatly appreciated!

Here's what I'm looking to do:

Target frame Top bar (the hp bar):
[Name] of the person or the mob (this works!)
[StatusGone] show afk/dead/offline/ghost - i think this works
[FractionalHP] but only if the HP is known (the [SureHP] tag should do this but it always returns blank, even if I target myself), otherwise dont show anything at all. i do have mobhealth3 installed, configured to remember mob health only, nothing for players since their gear/buffs/etc change so often. So I would get a fractional hp value when targetting Myself, any party members, any raid members, and any mobs i've ever hit. All those will have a known value.
[PercentHP:Round:Percent] (this works!)

Target frame Bottom bar (the mana bar):
This is the one giving me the most trouble >.>
[Level] this works
next, if the mob/player has mana (not rage or energy or anythign else) i want it to show [FractionalMana]
next, if the mob has mana or rage or energy, show the Percent of it, but if it doesnt have any of those things (mobs dont have rage/energy/etc) then show no percent.
[Classification] i think this works - if the mob is elite or rare, show that.
[Creature] - only show the word Bear or Critter or Spider, NPC, etc. if the target is a mob, or npc. never show any Race information.
[PlayerClass] or [SmartClass] ? If the target is a Player, show the player's class, but still never show any Race information. if it's an NPC then show NPC (if it can't be done via Creature). only want this info if the target is a Player (alliance or horde, friendly or otherwise) or npc.

edit: i never want a mob to show a Class. there are no mob warriors or mob paladins, only spiders and undead and bears and critters.

That's basically what I'm after :)

Thanks for any input!

ok i got SureHP working, so that takes care of about 1 of the things.

I have gone over every single line of the dogtag wiki. i have it printed out, even have highlighted the lines appropriate to what i thought i needed to do, but i either dont comprehend what's necessary or am just not getting the right combinations together.

so can anyone help me out with some strings?

thanks :)

I'm not quite sure what your question is, and I'm short on time right now, but check out my other post at http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php?topic=6028.0, and see if that is at all helpful. I give my statement, along with a description of what it does. You might be able to figure out the rest with a little help, but it's something to take a look at.

[Creature] - only show the word Bear or Critter or Spider, NPC, etc. if the target is a mob, or npc. never show any Race information.

[PlayerClass] or [SmartClass] ? If the target is a Player, show the player's class, but still never show any Race information. if it's an NPC then show NPC (if it can't be done via Creature). only want this info if the target is a Player (alliance or horde, friendly or otherwise) or npc.

that's the biggest part of waht i am looking to do.

target a spider and it says "spider" in the frame.
target an undead mob and it says "undead" in the frame.
target a bear and it says "bear".
target a player and it says their class in the frame.
simple as that, no more no less.

still dont know where to start on dogtag with this. creature tag shows class and race information on mobs. do i have to use hide(arg) - where are args? can i creature:hide(race) or something?
