Hi,

I am trying to get my addon to print the message "You have Berserking" to chat whenever you pickup the Berserking BUFF in WSG, AB, or EotS. Same with the restoration buff.

The annoying part is I am trying to do this by COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED

It worked fine for the Speed BUFF in the battleground but from what I noticed when I took a combat log of the battleground I was in that Berserking and Restoration do not output anything to the combat log or I am very blind.

Would be nice if someone could enlighten me on maybe another way of doing this it would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if this was posted in the wrong section.

local BUFF_BERSERKING =GetSpellInfo(23505)

local hasBerserking

local addon = CreateFrame("Frame")
addon:RegisterEvent("UNIT_AURA")
addon:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, unit)
     if UnitBuff("player", BUFF_BERSERKING) then
          -- You have Berserking
          if hasBerserking then
               -- You already had Berserking and didn't just gain it
          else
               -- You just gained it
               print("You have Berserking!")
               hasBerserking = true
          end
     else
          if hasBerserking then
               -- You had Berserking, and now it's gone
               hasBerserking = false
          else
               -- You didn't have Berserking, and you still don't have it
          end
     end
end)

Could definitely be condensed, but I left it big to illustrate the various scenarios.

Thanks. I kind of figured it was like that but couldn't get it exactly right. Wish it had a combat log event though be so much easier lol.

Ok ran into a problem with using this method. It is good at picking up the buff berserking from battlegrounds however it compares the name of the spell and not the spellId even though you used the spellId for the battleground buff. So if a troll uses his racial it will also print the message.

Unfortunately, spell ids are not available from UnitBuff. You may be able to use a combination of the name and icon texture to identify it uniquely.

The spell id was only used in that example to get the localized name of the buff.

Do you just want the message or code the addon on your own ?
