All right i spent a little time reading the code, though 2 days ago i didn't know the first thing about lua. In SBFBuff.lua, in sbf.IterateAuras, i tried adding a debug line right at the beginning of the while loop: self:Print(debugMask, "Spell", name, "cast by ", caster, "(UnitIsPlayer:<", (true and UnitIsPlayer(caster)), ">) on", unit, "(UnitIsPlayer:<", (true and UnitIsPlayer(unit)), ">)") And here comes what i get when i target a self-buffed NPC attacked by another player (in my case, a shaman): SBF: 2 Spell Bloodthirst cast by target (UnitIsPlayer:< nil >) on target (UnitIsPlayer:< nil >) -- that's good, the NPC had Bloodthirst cast on itself (cf. villagers in tol barad peninsula) and it's not a player, fine. SBF: 2 Spell Stormstrike cast by nil (UnitIsPlayer:< nil >) on target (UnitIsPlayer:< nil >) -- this time stormstrike was cast by the shaman that is an actual player but UnitAura returned a nil unitCaster, thus the following code is not executed: if caster then buff.caster = caster _, buff.casterClass = UnitClass(buff.caster) buff.casterIsPlayer = (UnitIsPlayer(buff.caster)) end Even if it was, (UnitIsPlayer(buff.caster)) would return nil I hope this helps, i just wish i could rename the bug report title now that i see it has nothing to do with what i was suggesting at first. Regards. |

New information: today i witnessed the bug while i was questing in tol barad: i (alliance dk) hit a villager npc in rustberg village as a horde warlock cast corruption at it and the debuff poped up in the frame (as usual, target unit, filtered only by "npc" in a whitelist). I thus thought the problem was related to opposite faction buffs/debuffs and went to do some testing around the town and i discovered that i could see a draenei hunter's serpent sting on his target, a dk's deseases, a human paladin's censure, some shadow priest's DoT, etc. So that's as far as i can go... i now have no idea where this bug comes from. I'd be happy to help if you could give me some kind of clue. Regards. |

More info: i was not able to find a reliable way to reproduce this problem but the following "worked" most of the time: 0- set up a buff frame on the frame unit "target", with a whitelist containing only one filter: npc 1- enter a random battleground 2- get buffed by other players. optional: target your character, no buffs should show up in the new frame, except maybe for some buffs that actually come from NPCs such as a pet (hunter/warlock) 3- exit the battleground 4- target your character. some (but not all, sometimes) remaining buffs will be shown in the frame created at step 0. Sometimes it gets weirder, i would target someone in a battleground and all the debuffs cast at this player would show up in the npc-filtered frame... i will try to give more feedback as i get more information. |
