"Cast start" issue #1280


Closed
  • kaence_ created this issue Jan 28, 2024

    What version of Grid2  are you using (Version is displayed in General/About Tab) ?

     2.7.3

    What game client version, classic or retail, windows or mac and language are you using ?

     classic

    What steps will reproduce the problem?

      in "statuts" => "AoE & Dmg" when I create an "any spell" the activation conditions "Cast start" don't work. The other conditions work well.
    Did you try having Grid2 as the only enabled addon and everything else disabled?

      yes

    Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?

      I don't know

    Do you have an error log of what happened? If you don't see any errors, make sure that error reporting is enabled (`/console scriptErrors 1`) or install [BugSack](https://mods.curse.com/addons/wow/BugSack).

      no error

    Please provide any additional information below.

    Apparently blizzard removed destination players identifiers in the combat log for the cast start event.  It seems they dont like healers reacting too fast to the incoming spells damage. So i cannot fix the issue, the required information is not accesible to addons.

    I removed the "Cast Start" option in AOE & Damage statuses.

    You can use Banzai Status (Statuses>Combat>Banzai) to monitorize "Cast Start" damage spells. But the combat log does not provide the required info to track  those casts so Banzai status has to use some tricks, and it only works for boss&focus  units, or enemies displaying a Nameplate.
