Checking for debuffs types

[dawl]

Hi.

I'm having some trouble using UnitAura checking for debuff types. Here's my code:

if event == "UNIT_AURA" then
    local type = UnitDebuff(unit, i)
    local str

    if type == "Magic" then
        str = "MAGIC"
    end

    self.name:SetText(str)
end

I'm at a loss here, does anyone see what's wrong?

Thanks.

If they type isn't magic, then your SetText uses nil.

Check http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/UnitDebuff, the first return value is the debuffs name, which probably is not "Magic", and probably isn't either what you mean with type. I suppose you want the 5th return value?

local type = UnitDebuff(unit, i)

Where does "i" come from ? Shouldn't the code examine every debuffs ?

/sigh
It's probably not his full code.

Anywho, @OP:

http://www.wowwiki.com/API_UnitDebuff
name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable = UnitDebuff(unitID, index or name [, removable]);

I figured it out, thanks for your help : )
