Detecting cast on me

Hello guys! Can u help me with some code, it didnt work, i'm new in lua :(
Looks like table guids allways clear :confused:

Lua Code:

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
    local guids = {}
    f:RegisterEvent("NAME_PLATE_UNIT_ADDED")
    f:RegisterEvent("NAME_PLATE_UNIT_REMOVED")
    f:RegisterEvent("COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED")
    f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
        if event == "NAME_PLATE_UNIT_ADDED" then
            local unit = ...
            guids[UnitGUID(unit)] = unit
          elseif event == "NAME_PLATE_UNIT_REMOVED" then
            local unit = ...
            guids[UnitGUID(unit)] = nil
        end
        local timestamp, subevent, _, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, sourceRaidFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags, destRaidFlags, spellId, spellName, spellSchool = CombatLogGetCurrentEventInfo()
        if subevent == "SPELL_CAST_START" then
            local unit = guids[sourceGUID]
            if unit and UnitIsUnit(unit.."target", "player") and bit.band(sourceFlags, COMBATLOG_OBJECT_REACTION_HOSTILE) > 0 then
                print( format("%s cast %s on me", sourceName, spellID) )
            end
        end
    end)

        if unit and UnitIsUnit(unit.."target", "player") and bit.band(sourceFlags, COMBATLOG_OBJECT_REACTION_HOSTILE) > 0 then
            print( format("%s is casting %s on me", sourceName, GetSpellLink(spellID)) )
        end
    end
end
 
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
    f[event](self, ...)

It requires NamePlates to be turned on and to be in range to have one for the mob in question.

Yes, everything is so, when testing in a duel with another player, it appears in the guid table but disappears almost immediately, I don’t understand what it’s connected with, if you turn off and on the nameplates, it appears in the table again, but at the start of the cast it always not present, so the trigger does not work.
