Hello and thanks!
I tried your code but the only difference it made was that the text "ROLL THE BONES" showed all the time when not in combat, while before it would pop up whenever i used a buff like sprint when not in combat. So it didnt really fix my problem, since i would only like to have it show when in combat.

A better method would be to register the event specifically for the player, using
Lua Code:
textframe:RegisterUnitEvent("UNIT_AURA", "player")
Then your addon will only be notified when it fires for your player.

Also, you don't need to use HookScript for a frame that you've created. You know which scripts are set to it, which aren't, and what they do. HookScript is good when dealing with other addons' (or the default UI's) frames when you don't want to overwrite (or possibly overwrite) what scripts are already present. |
Hey, I tried your suggested changes as well but when changing to
Lua Code:
textframe:RegisterUnitEvent("UNIT_AURA", "player")
the text would not show at all.
