API CombatTextSetActiveUnit

Last wiki revision 2022-08-03

Changes the entity for which events fire. CombatTextSetActiveUnit(unit)

  • unit: : UnitId - The the entity you want to receive notifications for.
  • The event is tied to the entity rather than the unit -- thus, if you call CombatTextSetActiveUnit("target") and then target something else, you'll get notifications for the unit you were targeting when calling the function, rather than your new target.
  • Only one unit can be "active" at a time.
  • The event is used in to provide part of Blizzard's Floating Combat Text functionality; it fires to notify of aura gains/losses and incoming damage and heals.
