Ok I gave it some thought I think I know what's happening.

It probably has to do with multi-boss encounters.

As an example the Faction Champions in ToCR.
When one of those "bosses" dies the addon based on its guid will assume that it's time to take a screenshot.
Now if "you" are alive and the fight continues it will not.
Instead it will wait for combat end (even if that happens 5min down the road)
which will coincide with the actual "boss kill": All Champions cleared.

If on the other hand you are dead, it will take the screenshot there and then while fight is far from over.

I'm guessing this happens in all multi-boss encounters and is the root of the confusion.

Only "simple" way around it I can see is to make the combat status check party/raid wide by checking
party1-4, raidx-y through UnitAffectingCombat("unit") before taking the shot.
It might still photograph a wipe but there's more chances it will be a relevant screenshot.
Other way would be rather more involved and I'm not sure addon would benefit
from complicating things so much.
(have special code for detecting multi-boss encounter completion: Faction Champions, Iron Council, 4 Horsemen etc..)

Hang in guys , let's track that one down:

Multishot will take a screenshot whenever a boss mob is killed. If - in that very moment - you are...
  • ... alive: the screenshot will be taken on leaving combat (exactly like Dridzt said). "The boss is down but you're still infight finishing his adds off."

  • ... dead: the screenshot is taken instantly (delay applies). "Even if your party members are still infight killing adds."

I could not reproduce any other behaviour than the above . Suppressing the screenshot if you're dead during the kill could be added as future feature, though.

bubblebop: if you're still having problems please turn on debug mode and write me a private message.

I don't get any reported errors with Multishot, but I'm having an issue with it. It seems that every time I die during a boss fight, Multishot takes a screenshot. It's becoming very annoying, because I have tons of screenshots of every one of my deaths and I have to go back through and delete them all.

Otherwise, the addon works fine and takes screenshots when it is supposed to (acheivements, boss deaths, etc.). I would love to see this fixed in the future, thanks!
Without having looked at the code I'm guessing that it might be taking a screenshot when the player exits combat (PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED).
Unfortunately dying fires that event as well.
If that's the case an extra check that UnitIsDeadOrGhost("player") is not true would fix it.

This isn't needed. Multishot uses the LibBossIDs-1.0 library to recognize bosses, which is kept up to date through patches.

Just download the latest version of LibBossIDs-1.0 ("r22" as of Jul 27/09) and install it like a regular UI mod to your \Addons folder. Now Multishot (and other mods using that library) will recognize Ulduar (and upcoming patch 3.2) bosses without issue.

Or if you are more skilled at handling mods, you can just replace the LibBossIDs-1.0.lua file in the \Multishot\LibBossIDs\ folder with the latest one from the links provided above.

Would it be possible to apply the delay to boss kills too?
I've played with it, but it still insta-snaps the picture on boss kill, and using BossEncounter 2 normally I have the first 3-4 giant letters of COMPLETE and lens flare blocking the screen.

It would be really nice to have this option in configuration menu.

I noticed your latest changelog mentioned the removal of hunter pet level up screenshots, and to me those aren't very important anyway - but I'm curious if this cures the screenshotting everytime my hunter enters a vehicle (ie. Wintergrasp)?

If not, that's my only complaint - things lag for a moment (while screenshot is processed) when hopping into a vehicle, and at times it's a little annoying during heated PvP or Flame Leviathan.
