"CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PARTY_DAMAGE"
Category: Obsolete Events
 
Replaced in 2.4.0 with COMBAT_LOG_EVENT

Discovered a bug with this event as of v1.8. You can use CHAT_MSG_FRIENDLYPLAYER_DAMAGE to check for "Bob begins to cast Firebolt." However, if Bob joins your party, it does not show up in CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PARTY_DAMAGE as one would expect. It shows up in CHAT_MSG_SPELL_HOSTILEPLAYER_DAMAGE. This seems to only be the case for "begins to cast". Other damage messages properly show up under CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PARTY_DAMAGE.

Replaced in 2.4.0 with COMBAT_LOG_EVENT

"CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_HOSTILEPLAYER_BUFFS"
Category: Obsolete Events
 
Replaced in 2.4.0 with COMBAT_LOG_EVENT

For some weird reason, this event is fired when someone heals yourself or another player, eg "Priest's Flash Heal critically heals you for 2342"

Haven't tested any other conditions as of yet.


"CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_HOSTILEPLAYER_DAMAGE"

"CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_SELF_BUFFS"
Category: Obsolete Events
 
Replaced in 2.4.0 with COMBAT_LOG_EVENT

Fired when a buff is cast on self. (Unknown if external buff triggers this).

arg1
full combat text

Example:

"You gain BuffName."

Also called for each "tick" of recurring effects, such as "heal-over-time" spells. Example: You gain 10 health from Rejuvenation.

[edit]
"CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PERIODIC_SELF_DAMAGE"
Category: Obsolete Events
 
Replaced in 2.4.0 with COMBAT_LOG_EVENT

Fired (possibly among other times) when you are debuffed - so Disarm, Silenced, etc. I know the name doesn't match, but if you want to verify, enable printing this in your chat log. Get into combat and get debuffed. After combat, scroll back up, and while the debuff message is onscreen, change the chat color of this message, and you will see it change... Very strange. I assume this is named after poisons or diseases, but I haven't actually tested if those trigger this. See CHAT_MSG_SPELL_AURA_GONE_SELF if you want to know when it wears off (both buffs and debuffs). This is accurate as of US Release 1.2.4 (4222), tested by hacking Scrolling Combat Text.

arg1
full text of the debuff message, e.g. "You are Disarmed."

This is also fired during the Gnomish Death Ray's channel.

This is indeed triggered by poison / disease. arg1 messages in the form of: "You suffer 3 damage from Scorpid's Poison" or "You are afflicted by Something" come from this event. --Syllani

"CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PET_BUFF"
Category: Obsolete Events

"CHAT_MSG_SPELL_PET_DAMAGE"
Category: Obsolete Events
 
Replaced in 2.4.0 with COMBAT_LOG_EVENT


"CHAT_MSG_SPELL_SELF_BUFF"
Category: Obsolete Events
 
Replaced in 2.4.0 with COMBAT_LOG_EVENT

Fired when you cast a beneficial spell. arg1 is the full combat chat text. Examples: Your Heal heals you for 50. Your Regrowth critically heals Someguy for 100.

UnitHealth(...) is not updated when this event occours, it is possible to determine the exact overheal with something like this: Overheal = HealFromCombatChat - (UnitHealthMax(...) - UnitHealth(...));


"CHAT_MSG_SPELL_SELF_DAMAGE"
Category: Obsolete Events
 
Replaced in 2.4.0 with COMBAT_LOG_EVENT

Fired whenever you cast a harmful spell, be it direct damage or debuff of any kind, be it Warrior's taunt or DoT. arg1 holds the exact same string that is posted to the Combat Log. (eg. "Your Fireball hits Snivvle for 842.")

Also fired when your spell does not actually take effect; ie. if it is resisted, or if the target is immune. A "resist" message is "Your Banish was resisted by Felguard Elite." while an "immune" message is of the format "Your Fire Blast failed. Firelord is immune."

"CRAFT_SHOW"
Category: Tradeskill
 

Fired when a crafting skill window opens. Crafting skills are Enchanting, <craftSkill2>,...

arg1
The mouse button used to open the window.

(this event doesn't seem to be used anymore since 2.4, use ZONE_CHANGED and ZONE_CHANGED_INDOORS)

Fired whenever the text above the Minimap changes, i.e. each time the player changes the area or the zone in the current area. The main difference to the ZONE_CHANGED event is that at the time the MINIMAP_ZONE_CHANGED event is fired, the GetRealZoneText(), GetSubZoneText() and GetMinimapZoneText() do already return the information for the new zone.

arg1
Spell Name
arg2
Duration (arg2 seems to be in milliseconds ex. 1.5 second cast time shows as 1500)


[edit]
"SPELLCAST_STOP"
Category: Obsolete Events
 

Fired when a spell cast stops. Removed in 2.0

  • Called twice when the spell is channelled. Once at start, once at completion.
  • The only SURE way to determine if a non-instant, non-damaging spell is cast successfully (such as Warlock Banish) is to do the following:
  1. Observe the spell start with UseAction or by trapping CastSpellByName() or one of the other methods of trapping spellcasts.
  2. Wait for SPELLCAST_STOP to arrive.
  3. When it arrives, you know the spell has stopped, but you don't know the reason!! It could be that the spell was cast successfully, or it was resisted, or the target was immune, or you moved. Schedule a success check 1/10th of a second in the future by using GetTime() and the OnUpdate() event callback.
  4. If you get to a 1/10th of a second in the future without receiving SPELLCAST_INTERRUPTED or SPELLCAST_FAILURE, then the spell landed successfully. If one of those other events occurred, you can kill your scheduled success check because the spell failed.

You could also check for the Banish debuff on the target, but that's a can of worms because the player can switch targets mid cast (which does happen in nutty endgame instances).


[edit]
"SUGGEST_REALM"
Category: GlueXML
 
"UNIT_AURASTATE"
Category: Unit Info,Buff
 

Seems like the same as UNIT_AURA above (including arguments) but only for short buffs. As a Paladin, it was triggered each time I gained a 30 second buff (Paladin Seals), lost/canceled it, or switched targets from another player to myself. Needs more testing with other classes etc.

"ZONE_UNDER_ATTACK"
Category: Communication,Map
 

This doesn't seem to be sent for WorldDefense - it comes in on CHAT_MSG_CHANNEL and totally skips the ZONE_UNDER_ATTACK code in the client. Is the same true for LocalDefense?
