Trinket/Item proc

[Resike]

Is there any event to check when a trinket/item is being procced or to get the spells id for it's buff at lteast since 5.4?

Typically, procs trigger a spellcast that ends up in the Combat Log just as any other ability initiated by the player. You will need to keep track of what SpellIDs trigger from an item to tell the difference between a proc and a normal spellcast. Note all procs will have the spellcast Combat Log event originate from the player.

And can i know which spell is the trinket is going to trigger now?

I think you're asking how to know what the spell ID is? Look it up on wowhead - the id is in the url for the effect.

Yes i'm aware of that but since blizzard already added the internal cooldown into the trinket's tooltip, i guess then i can make an internal cooldown tracker addon for it without creating a database for all the trinekets about their proc spell id and cooldown.

Just because the client has some info doesn't mean that the UI does. (And I didn't know what you were asking because of... well... how you said it. )

Yeah i'm sorry my first language isn't english, anyway i don't see whats the point of adding the internal cooldowns for the new procc trinkets if you can't use that info for pretty much nothing.

Let me rephrase what I said. Just because the cooldown information is added to the tooltip by the client, doesn't mean that there is an API for your addon to gather that information on its own. If this is the case, you will need to build your own database if you wish to have access to this information without scanning the tooltip for it.

Well my idea was the scanning tooltip too, but it's much better then keeping a big database up to date, since wowhead shows procc/item ids wrong in like 90%.
