Addon help

I have a addon, that needs some LUA info changed, Im not really good at editing this stuff, here is whats happening. I have a addon that says when a target is CC’D and what it was CC’D with, it announces it in party chat/or raid chat. the issue im having is if someone beaks the CC it just says CC broke, But if the target is something weak and someone breaks the CC and it dies right away, it says who broke the CC and with what spell…the thing i want fixed is to announce who broke the CC and what spell even if the target doesnt die…i took screen shots if you can help please reply and ill give you my battle tag so we can chat and i can show you the pictures of the issue…or i can invite you to party and show you.

You have to parse the combat log to detect CC breakers.

the issue is it says who broke it and how if it gets 1 shot

You just need to make code that detects if a cc buff expired early right after somebody hits it. Google getcombatlog wow api. COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED is the event you want to use.

You have an addon!
In Soviet Russia, addons have YOU!

its not my addon i downloaded it, it works fine, as long as the CC dies in 1 hit. Im needing to somehow change the config so if it doesnt die it still says who did it

You can just look up CC breakers in Details like the rest of us. :slightly_smiling_face: What you’re asking for is programming code.

ya but with this addon it auto announces instead of me having to click details and then click share info after picking CC details info

A programmer would have a much easier time rewriting the addon than giving you code snippets on the forums and praying you could figure it out. I write addons, but I’ve never tried anything like heavy combat log parsing.

they would need to use the addon to figure out which snippets it is though i really love the addon just wish it would announce who broke the CC if it didnt die when the CC was broken.

The function that returns a combat log event returns like 20 variables. I think the UI and Macros forum still exists if you want to move your thread.

ya but its not a macro or UI its a addon. like i said if i CC something and then shoot it and it breaks CC and dies it says who broke it and what spell. If someone shoots it and breaks CC and doesnt die it just says CC broke but not by who or what spell.
