What's buffType in GetUnitBuffInfo / EVENT_EFFECT_CHANGED?

* GetUnitBuffInfo(*string* _unitTag_, *luaindex* _buffIndex_)
** _Returns:_ *string* _buffName_, *number* _timeStarted_, *number* _timeEnding_, *integer* _buffSlot_, *integer* _stackCount_, *textureName* _iconFilename_, *string* _buffType_, *[BuffEffectType|#BuffEffectType]* _effectType_, *[AbilityType|#AbilityType]* _abilityType_, *[StatusEffectType|#StatusEffectType]* _statusEffectType_, *integer* _abilityId_, *bool* _canClickOff_

I expected it to be one of BUFF_TYPE_ constants, e.g. BUFF_TYPE_MAJOR_BRUTALITY, but no. It's a string, and seem to always be empty.

I'm working on a addon using that at the moment & I've been wondering the same thing. I also expected it to be BUFF_TYPE_XXXX, but it is always empty for me as well.

Looking at it some more I see:

BUFF_TYPE_MAJOR_HEROISM

and in champion skills I see:


Maybe it only works for champion skills?

buffType will be the string "Activated" if it is an activated effect, which it will never be, because that's an ancient system that doesn't get used anymore.
