Subject: Slouken - UNIT_HEALTH not always fireing |
| |
I think there's a bug with the UNIT_HEALTH event not always fireing, when a party/raid members health changes. It seems to occur very rarely though - or perhaps I just haven't noticed it that often, especially since most health-changes occur in combat, and a tank taking constant damage, the lack of a single UNIT_HEALTH event isn't easy to notice, when another one fires 0.5sec later.
The times when I've noticed it most easily, is when a member is being fully healed, but their healthbar still shows half health (default UI unit-frames).
If I target that person the target-window shows the actual health (in this case full health). UnitHealth also returns the correct health for the unit.
The fact that UnitHealth returns the right data, is what makes me think UNIT_HEALTH has not been fired for that unit.
Since patch 1.9.0 I've seen several threads on the forums about healthbars not always updating properly, and I think this is the reason for this. In a recent thread I found the link mentioned below, which shows what I've tried to explain.

If you look at the target, you see it's the same person as "party2", but the party-frame shows the person as about half health, whereas the target window shows full health.
On a side note, UnitHealthMax will sometimes return 100 for members of your group/raid when they are zoning.

Q u o t e:
Also, I've done some minor experenmentation and noticed the health bar not update for abound 15 minutes. Still not sure what causes it though.
If you could put together some reproduceable steps, that would be very helpful. You might try things involving zoning, and moving in and out of the party in different combinations of circumstances.

The bug where max health was stuck at 100 should be fixed in 1.9.3. Q/A is investigating another issue where a health update may be missed mid-combat, but that should fix the problem where the healer doesn't ever see health go down.
As a workaround, you can have the healer leave the instance and come back in while grouped and it should refresh the health of the party members.

Q u o t e:
Was this fixed? I didn't see anything in the patch notes. Hope so <3
There were two problems, one of which was fixed in the 1.9.3 patch and the other one which is fixed for the 1.10 patch.
