Issue Tracking All Status Effects

[bibik92]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on an addon that tracks status effects on the target in real-time to accurately calculate the penetration provided by the champion point Force of Nature. However, I'm running into an issue: out of the 8 possible status effects, only 3 are being tracked correctly (Burning, Poisoned, and Hemorrhaging). The following status effects are not being tracked:

Overcharged
Chill
Concussion
Sundered
Diseased

I've verified that the methods I'm using work fine for the other 3 status effects, so I'm wondering if there is a different approach or any tips for tracking these remaining 5 status effects.

Has anyone else encountered this issue or can suggest the correct method to ensure all 8 status effects are tracked accurately? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

This is a part of the code I'm using

local targetDebuffsFoN = {
    [178118] = 660, -- Magic (Overcharged) not working
    [18084]  = 660, -- Fire (Burning)
    [95136]  = 660, -- Frost (Chill) not working
    [95134]  = 660, -- Lightning (Concussion) not working
    [178123] = 660, -- Physical (Sundered) not working
    [21929]  = 660, -- Poison (Poisoned)
    [178127] = 660, -- Foulness (Diseased) not working
    [148801] = 660, -- Bleeding (Hemorrhaging)
}

-- Function to get additional penetration from status effects
local function GetAdditionalPenetrationFromStatusEffects()
    local additionalPenetration = 0
    if DoesUnitExist('reticleover') and not IsUnitPlayer('reticleover') then
        for i = 1, GetNumBuffs('reticleover') do
            local _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, abilityId = GetUnitBuffInfo('reticleover', i)
            if targetDebuffsFoN[abilityId] and forceOfNature then
                additionalPenetration = additionalPenetration + targetDebuffsFoN[abilityId]
                Log("Status effect detected: " .. abilityId .. " - Additional penetration: " .. targetDebuffsFoN[abilityId])
            elseif targetDebuffsFoN[abilityId] then
                Log("Status effect detected but Force of Nature not equipped: " .. abilityId)
            end
        end
    end
    return additionalPenetration
end

Thanks in advance.

I dunno if those buffs are shown on enemies or other players at all. I can only tell you to check if ZOs target buffs is displaying those and check their code then.

But a hint:
You got if targetDebuffsFoN[abilityId]
and else if targetDebuffsFoN[abilityId]
-> 2x the same table check

make it 1x local isTargetDebuffsFoN = targetDebuffsFoN[abilityId]
and reuse the local instead to strip duplicate table checks.
