Player died event

Hi,

Im trying to play a sound on players death, but it does not work for me

Lua Code:

local function OnEvent(self, event, ...)
 
if event == "COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED" then
            
local Event = select(2, ...)
local sourceGUID = select(4, ...)
local GUID = select(8, ...)
local SpellName = select(13, ...)
local EventType = select(15, ...)
 
if Event == "UNIT_DIED" then
if GUID == UnitGUID("player") then
 
a.Sound(SoundPackValue("player_died"))
end
end
end

and every time I buff myself

Lua Code:

if Event == "SPELL_AURA_APPLIED" and GUID == UnitGUID("player") then
if EventType == "BUFF" then
 
a.Sound(SoundPackValue("buff_on_self"))
 
end
end

Could you please help me understand why doesn't it work and correct me?

Thank you so much for help.

You need to use CombatLogGetCurrentEventInfo() and you should post your full code if you want to get better help with your code
https://wow.gamepedia.com/COMBAT_LOG_EVENT

Lua Code:

local playerGUID = UnitGUID("player")
 
local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event)
    self:OnEvent(event, CombatLogGetCurrentEventInfo())
end)
 
function f:OnEvent(event, ...)
    local timestamp, subevent, _, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, sourceRaidFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags, destRaidFlags = ...
 
    if subevent == "UNIT_DIED" and destGUID == playerGUID then
        print("You died.")
    end
end

As for just the player dying, that can be easier done with PLAYER_DEAD

Lua Code:

local function OnEvent(self, event, ...)
    print("You died.")
end
 
local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_DEAD")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", OnEvent)

Works like a charm! Thank you! :banana:
