Fire PARTY_INVITE_REQUEST when another player invites the local player
to a group. Used by auto-accept group addons and invite notification
addons. Includes the inviter's name as the first argument.
Fire CONFIRM_TALENT_WIPE with the gold cost when the trainer offers
to reset talents (MSG_TALENT_WIPE_CONFIRM). Used by talent management
addons to show the respec cost dialog.
SMSG_GROUP_DESTROYED clears all party state but wasn't firing addon
events. Raid frame addons (Grid, VuhDo, Healbot) now properly hide
when the group disbands. Also fires PARTY_MEMBERS_CHANGED for compat.
SMSG_SELL_ITEM success now fires BAG_UPDATE so bag addons refresh
their display, and PLAYER_MONEY so gold tracking addons see the
sell price income immediately.
Fire RESURRECT_REQUEST with the caster's name from SMSG_RESURRECT_REQUEST
when a player/NPC offers to resurrect the dead player. Used by auto-accept
resurrection addons and death tracking addons.
Fire CONFIRM_SUMMON from SMSG_SUMMON_REQUEST when another player
summons via warlock portal or meeting stone. Used by auto-accept
summon addons and summon notification addons.
Track horizontal movement flag transitions (forward/backward/strafe)
and fire events when the player starts or stops moving. Used by
Healbot, cast-while-moving addons, and nameplate addons that track
player movement state for positioning optimization.
The loot money handler directly updates playerMoneyCopper_ but wasn't
firing PLAYER_MONEY. The update object path fires it when the coinage
field changes, but there can be a delay. Now gold-tracking addons
(Accountant, GoldTracker) immediately see looted money.
Fire UNIT_PET with "player" as arg from SMSG_PET_SPELLS when:
- Pet is cleared (dismissed/dies) — both size-based and guid=0 paths
- Pet is summoned (new pet GUID received with spell list)
Used by pet frame addons and unit frame addons to show/hide pet
frames and update pet action bars when pet state changes.
SMSG_HEALTH_UPDATE and SMSG_POWER_UPDATE were not checking for the pet
GUID when dispatching addon events. Pet health/power bar addons now
properly receive UNIT_HEALTH and UNIT_POWER with unitId="pet".
The UPDATE_OBJECT and UNIT_AURA paths already had the pet check.
Add pet GUID check to all spellcast event dispatchers:
- UNIT_SPELLCAST_START
- UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED
- UNIT_SPELLCAST_CHANNEL_START
- UNIT_SPELLCAST_CHANNEL_STOP
- UNIT_SPELLCAST_INTERRUPTED + STOP
Previously these events only fired for player/target/focus, meaning
pet cast bars and pet spell tracking addons wouldn't work. Now pet
spellcasts properly fire with unitId="pet".
Fire UPDATE_BATTLEFIELD_STATUS with the status code when battlefield
status changes (queued, ready to join, in progress, waiting to leave).
Used by BG queue addons and PvP addons to track battleground state.
Fire CHAT_MSG_COMBAT_HONOR_GAIN from SMSG_PVP_CREDIT with the honor
message text. Used by PvP addons (HonorSpy, HonorTracker) to track
honor gains and kill counts.
Fire PLAYER_CONTROL_LOST when SMSG_CLIENT_CONTROL_UPDATE revokes player
movement (stun, fear, mind control, etc.) and PLAYER_CONTROL_GAINED when
movement is restored.
Used by loss-of-control addons and action bar addons to show stun/CC
indicators and disable ability buttons during crowd control.
Fire MAIL_INBOX_UPDATE when the mail list is received/refreshed
(SMSG_MAIL_LIST_RESULT), so mail addons can update their display.
Fire UPDATE_PENDING_MAIL when new mail arrives (SMSG_RECEIVED_MAIL),
enabling minimap mail icon addons and notification addons to react.
Fire QUEST_WATCH_UPDATE (with quest ID for kills) and QUEST_LOG_UPDATE
when quest objectives progress:
- Kill objectives: when SMSG_QUESTUPDATE_ADD_KILL updates a kill count
- Item objectives: when SMSG_QUESTUPDATE_ADD_ITEM updates an item count
Used by quest tracker addons (Questie, QuestHelper) and the built-in
quest tracker to refresh objective display when progress changes.
Fire MERCHANT_UPDATE after a successful SMSG_BUY_ITEM so vendor addons
refresh their stock display. Also fire BAG_UPDATE so bag addons show
the newly purchased item immediately.
SMSG_SPELL_FAILED_OTHER was clearing the unit cast state but not firing
addon events. Cast bar addons (Quartz, ClassicCastbars) showing target/
focus cast bars need UNIT_SPELLCAST_FAILED and UNIT_SPELLCAST_STOP to
clear the bar when another unit's cast fails.
Now fires both events for target and focus units, matching the behavior
already implemented for the player's own cast failures.
Fire PLAYER_GUILD_UPDATE when the player's guild membership changes:
- When guild name is first resolved (player joins guild/logs in)
- When guild is disbanded
Used by guild frame addons and guild info display to update when
guild status changes.
Fire PARTY_LEADER_CHANGED (with GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE) from both:
- SMSG_GROUP_SET_LEADER: when a new leader is named by string
- SMSG_REAL_GROUP_UPDATE: when leader GUID changes via group update
Used by raid frame addons to update leader crown icons and by
group management addons to track leadership changes.
Fire INSPECT_READY with the inspected player's GUID when inspection
results are received. Fires from both:
- WotLK SMSG_TALENTS_INFO type=1 (talent + gear inspect)
- Classic SMSG_INSPECT (gear-only inspect)
Used by GearScore, TacoTip, and other inspection addons that need
to know when inspect data is available for a specific player.
Fire RAID_TARGET_UPDATE event when raid markers (skull, cross, etc.)
are set or cleared on targets. Add two Lua API functions:
- GetRaidTargetIndex(unit) returns marker index 1-8 (or nil)
- SetRaidTarget(unit, index) sets marker 1-8 (or 0 to clear)
Enables raid marking addons and nameplate addons that display raid
icons to react to marker changes in real-time.
Fire addon events for the raid ready check system:
- READY_CHECK fires when a ready check is initiated, with initiator name
- READY_CHECK_CONFIRM fires for each player's response, with GUID and
ready state (1=ready, 0=not ready)
- READY_CHECK_FINISHED fires when the ready check period ends
These events are used by raid frame addons (Grid, VuhDo, Healbot) to
show ready check status on unit frames, and by raid management addons
to track responsiveness.
Fire ACHIEVEMENT_EARNED event when a player earns an achievement,
enabling achievement tracking addons.
Add 15 previously unmapped chat type → addon event mappings:
- CHAT_MSG_ACHIEVEMENT, CHAT_MSG_GUILD_ACHIEVEMENT
- CHAT_MSG_WHISPER_INFORM (echo of sent whispers)
- CHAT_MSG_RAID_LEADER, CHAT_MSG_BATTLEGROUND_LEADER
- CHAT_MSG_MONSTER_SAY/YELL/EMOTE/WHISPER
- CHAT_MSG_RAID_BOSS_EMOTE/WHISPER
- CHAT_MSG_BG_SYSTEM_NEUTRAL/ALLIANCE/HORDE
These events are needed by boss mod addons (DBM, BigWigs) to detect
boss emotes, by achievement trackers, and by chat filter addons that
process all message types.
Add playerClassRaceCache_ that stores classId and raceId from
SMSG_NAME_QUERY_RESPONSE. This enables UnitClass and UnitRace to return
correct data for players who were previously seen but are now out of
UPDATE_OBJECT range.
Fallback chain for UnitClass/UnitRace is now:
1. Entity update fields (UNIT_FIELD_BYTES_0) — for nearby entities
2. Name query cache — for previously queried players
3. getPlayerClass/Race() — for the local player
This improves class-colored names in chat, unit frames, and nameplates
for players who move out of view range.
Fix bug where NPCs receiving moveType=4 (FacingAngle) or moveType=3
(FacingTarget) monster move packets with zero waypoints would not
rotate in place. The handler only processed orientation when hasDest
was true, but facing-only updates have no destination waypoints.
Now NPCs properly rotate when:
- moveType=4: server specifies an exact facing angle (e.g., NPC turns
to face the player during dialogue or scripted events)
- moveType=3: NPC should face a specific target entity
This fixes NPCs appearing frozen/unresponsive during scripted events,
quest interactions, and patrol waypoint facing changes.
Fire PLAYER_UPDATE_RESTING when the player enters or leaves a resting
area (inn/capital city). Fires from both the SET_REST_START packet and
the QUEST_FORCE_REMOVE rest-state update path. Used by XP bar addons
and rest state indicator addons.
Fire GUILD_ROSTER_UPDATE from SMSG_GUILD_ROSTER and from guild events
(member join/leave/kick, promotions, leader changes, online/offline,
disbanded). Fire GUILD_MOTD with the MOTD text when received.
These events are needed by guild management addons (GuildGreet,
GuildRoster replacements, officer tools) to refresh their UI.
Fire FRIENDLIST_UPDATE from all three friend list packet handlers:
- SMSG_FRIEND_LIST (Classic format)
- SMSG_CONTACT_LIST (WotLK format)
- SMSG_FRIEND_STATUS (add/remove/online/offline updates)
Fire IGNORELIST_UPDATE when SMSG_CONTACT_LIST includes ignore entries.
These events are used by social addons to refresh their UI when the
friend/ignore list changes.
Fire UNIT_NAME_UPDATE for target/focus/player when SMSG_NAME_QUERY_RESPONSE
resolves a player's name. Nameplate and unit frame addons use this event
to update displayed names when they become available asynchronously.
Add missing addon events for three gameplay systems:
Loot rolls:
- START_LOOT_ROLL fires on SMSG_LOOT_START_ROLL with slot and countdown
- LOOT_SLOT_CLEARED fires when a loot item is removed (SMSG_LOOT_REMOVED)
Trade:
- TRADE_REQUEST when another player initiates a trade
- TRADE_SHOW when the trade window opens
- TRADE_CLOSED when trade is cancelled, declined, or completed
- TRADE_ACCEPT_UPDATE when the trade partner accepts
Duels:
- DUEL_REQUESTED with challenger name on incoming duel challenge
- DUEL_FINISHED when a duel completes or is cancelled
Fire PLAYER_ENTER_COMBAT when the player's auto-attack starts
(SMSG_ATTACKSTART) and PLAYER_LEAVE_COMBAT when auto-attack stops.
These events are distinct from PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED/ENABLED — they
specifically track physical melee combat state and are used by
combat-aware addons for weapon swing timers and attack state tracking.
Fix bug where learning a talent caused an early return before firing
LEARNED_SPELL_IN_TAB and SPELLS_CHANGED events, leaving talent addons
unaware of changes. Now talent learning fires CHARACTER_POINTS_CHANGED,
PLAYER_TALENT_UPDATE, LEARNED_SPELL_IN_TAB, and SPELLS_CHANGED.
Also fire CHARACTER_POINTS_CHANGED, ACTIVE_TALENT_GROUP_CHANGED, and
PLAYER_TALENT_UPDATE from handleTalentsInfo (SMSG_TALENTS_INFO), so
talent addons update when the full talent state is received from the
server (login, spec switch, respec).
Also fire UNIT_HEALTH/UNIT_POWER events from SMSG_HEALTH_UPDATE and
SMSG_POWER_UPDATE packets for real-time unit frame updates.
SMSG_HEALTH_UPDATE and SMSG_POWER_UPDATE are high-frequency WotLK
packets that update entity health/power values but weren't firing
addon events. Unit frame addons (Pitbull, oUF, SUF) depend on these
events to update health/mana bars in real-time.
Now fire UNIT_HEALTH for player/target/focus on SMSG_HEALTH_UPDATE
and UNIT_POWER on SMSG_POWER_UPDATE, matching the events already
fired from the UPDATE_OBJECT path.
Fire UNIT_SPELLCAST_SENT when the player initiates a spell cast (before
server confirms), enabling cast bar addons like Quartz to show latency.
Includes target name and spell ID as arguments.
Fire UNIT_SPELLCAST_STOP whenever a cast bar should disappear:
- On successful cast completion (SMSG_SPELL_GO)
- On cast failure (SMSG_CAST_RESULT with error)
- On spell interrupt (SMSG_SPELL_FAILURE/SMSG_SPELL_FAILED_OTHER)
- On manual cast cancel
These events are essential for cast bar replacement addons to properly
track when casts begin and end.
Fire UNIT_HEALTH, UNIT_POWER, and UNIT_AURA events from
SMSG_PARTY_MEMBER_STATS with proper unit IDs (party1..4, raid1..40).
Previously, health/power changes for party members via the stats packet
were silent — raid frame addons never got notified.
Also fix closeLoot() not firing LOOT_CLOSED event when the loot window
is closed by the player (only handleLootReleaseResponse fired it).
Fire the following events for addon compatibility:
- LOOT_OPENED, LOOT_CLOSED on loot window open/close
- GOSSIP_SHOW, GOSSIP_CLOSED on gossip/quest-list window open/close
- QUEST_DETAIL when quest details are shown to the player
- QUEST_COMPLETE when quest offer reward dialog opens
- TRAINER_SHOW, TRAINER_CLOSED on trainer window open/close
Add "mouseover" as a valid unit ID in resolveUnitGuid so Lua API functions
like UnitName("mouseover"), UnitHealth("mouseover") etc. work for addons.
Fire UPDATE_MOUSEOVER_UNIT event when the mouseover target changes, and
PLAYER_FOCUS_CHANGED event when focus is set or cleared.
Fire MAIL_SHOW when mailbox opens (SMSG_SHOW_MAILBOX) and MAIL_CLOSED
when it closes. Fire AUCTION_HOUSE_SHOW when AH opens and AUCTION_HOUSE_CLOSED
when it closes. Used by mail addons (Postal) and AH addons (Auctionator).
Fire BANKFRAME_OPENED when bank window opens and BANKFRAME_CLOSED when
it closes. Used by bank management addons (Bagnon, BankItems) to detect
when the player is interacting with their bank.
Fire MERCHANT_SHOW when vendor window opens (SMSG_LIST_INVENTORY) and
MERCHANT_CLOSED when vendor is closed. Used by vendor price addons and
auto-sell addons that need to detect vendor interaction state.
Fire when SMSG_ACTION_BUTTONS populates the action bar on login and when
SMSG_SUPERCEDED_SPELL upgrades spell ranks on the bar. Used by action bar
addons (Bartender, Dominos) to refresh their displays.
Detect changes in player skill values after extractSkillFields() and fire
SKILL_LINES_CHANGED when any skill value changes. Used by profession
tracking addons and skill bar displays.
Fire CHAT_MSG_MONEY when gold is looted (used by gold tracking addons
like MoneyFu, Titan Panel). Fire CHAT_MSG_COMBAT_XP_GAIN when XP is
earned (used by XP tracking addons and leveling speed calculators).
Fire CHAT_MSG_LOOT addon event from SMSG_ITEM_PUSH_RESULT with the loot
message text, item ID, and count. Used by loot tracking addons (AutoLootPlus,
Loot Appraiser) and damage meters that track loot distribution.
Fires when AFK/DND status, PvP flag, ghost state, or other player flags
change via PLAYER_FLAGS update field. Enables addons that track player
status changes (FlagRSP, TRP3, etc.).
Parse randomPropertyId from SMSG_AUCTION_OWNER_NOTIFICATION to display
full item names in sold/bid/expired messages like "Your auction of
Gloves of the Monkey has sold!" Completes suffix resolution across
all 9 item display contexts.
Apply getRandomPropertyName() to SMSG_AUCTION_BIDDER_NOTIFICATION and
SMSG_AUCTION_REMOVED_NOTIFICATION so outbid/expired messages show full
item names like "You have been outbid on Leggings of the Eagle" instead
of just "Leggings". Completes suffix name resolution across all AH contexts.
Apply getRandomPropertyName() to SMSG_LOOT_START_ROLL and SMSG_LOOT_ROLL_WON
handlers so items with random suffixes display correctly in group loot
contexts (e.g., "Leggings of the Eagle" in the Need/Greed popup and
"Player wins Leggings of the Eagle (Need 85)" in chat).
Load ItemRandomProperties.dbc and ItemRandomSuffix.dbc lazily to resolve
suffix names like "of the Eagle", "of the Monkey" etc. Add
getRandomPropertyName(id) callback on GameHandler wired through Application.
Append suffix to item names in SMSG_ITEM_PUSH_RESULT loot notifications
so items display as "Leggings of the Eagle" instead of just "Leggings".
