checking for buff stacks in C_L_E_U

[ObbleYeah]

over the last couple of days me and Lyn have been trying to build a little mod that will display a set of text strings based on whether the player has particular buffs. So far we have this:

which, despite obviously being pretty unfinished, is sort-of working. Getting how many stacks a buff has doesn't seem to be working despite best efforts though - the debug print only ever returning a maximum value of 1. Experiments with using UNIT_AURA instead provided the correct # of stacks, but we couldn't get the thing to work otherwise. Doing something wrong here?

Is there some reason you're trying to use the combat log instead of UNIT_AURA to track a buff on the player?

[ObbleYeah]

Well, tried this too and couldn't get anything at all (though it does pass stacks correctly):

if it's easier/better to use UNIT_AURA then great, just struggling to make it work atm

edit: actually it does seem to be working when brain freeze procs: but not for fingers of frost. hmn

You're calling self:Hide() for each item in your table, so the only possible time it would be visible is if you have the last buff in the table active.

neat, that gives me something to work with. Thanks!

A couple things I would change..

frame:RegisterEvent("UNIT_AURA")

would be better as

frame:RegisterUnitEvent("UNIT_AURA", "player")

and

if UnitBuff("player", buff) then    
    local _, _, _, stacks = UnitBuff("player", buff)

could be replaced with

local _, _, _, stacks = UnitBuff("player", buff)
if stacks then
