EVENT_EFFECT_CHANGED Problem

[circonian]

The event EVENT_EFFECT_CHANGED is firing an EFFECT_RESULT_GAINED for buffs that the character already has when weapons are swapped.

If the character already has the buff it should either fire EFFECT_RESULT_FADED first, before firing EFFECT_RESULT_GAINED to regain the buff, or don't fire the EFFECT_RESULT_GAINED at all. Or possibly an EFFECT_RESULT_UPDATED would also be logical.

Meanwhile you could set a flag on EVENT_ACTIVE_WEAPON_PAIR_CHANGED and then avoid the visual update on the buffs (that is, only if it occurs BEFORE the EVENT_EFFECT_CHANGED).

Thanks for the info. I'm not using the weapon pair change event, but using a flag is sort of what I'm doing. If it passes in an effect with EFFECT_RESULT_GAINED and the addon already has that effect registered then the addon just treats it as an EFFECT_RESULT_UPDATED.
