Differentiating Identical Loot Items

[Kappamus]

Hello,

I'm creating an addon to monitor loot rolls. It works well except when two or more loot items are exactly the same, which happens frequently in LFR. The issue is that I parse the string such as:

"Disenchant Roll - 96 for [Mereldar Amulet of the Wildfire] by Kappamus"

where the item in square brackets is a link to get the actual roll. However, if say there are two copies of [Mereldar Amulet of the Wildfire], is there any way to differentiate the two?

I know they are in different loot slots and have different loot id's but I can't see how that would help associating the roll with the first or second copy. The only other thing I could think of was that if the rolls for each person were always in order but thats untested.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Perhaps you should check how it's done on this addon:

And if those suggestions don't help you.

Try the following:

http://wowprogramming.com/docs/events/START_LOOT_ROLL
http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/GetLootRollItemInfo
http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/GetLootRollItemLink

Between those three it sounds like it would help you.
