Boss frames not working anymore

[zork]

*edit*

Bug is fixed. The trick is to use frequentUpdates for the statusbar and the health tag for boss frames. UNIT_HEALTH does not fire properly for bossframes.

Damn. Since the last push and changes to the bossframe only the bossframe you are currently watching will update. All other bossframes will stick at 100% hp.

Made a screenshot of the Magera encounter.


All heads are at 100%. The tooltip shows the correct health of the other snake head.

Oh...

Maybe it is my issue. Has the way how bossframes will be spawned got changed? I'm curious because on my screenshot two of the bossframes have the same name aswell. Could be a hint.

My spawn code is:

if cfg.units.boss.show then
    oUF:RegisterStyle("diablo:boss", createStyle)
    oUF:SetActiveStyle("diablo:boss")
    local boss = {}
    for i = 1, MAX_BOSS_FRAMES do
      local name = "oUF_DiabloBossFrame"..i
      local unit = oUF:Spawn("boss"..i, name)
      if i==1 then
        unit:SetPoint(cfg.units.boss.pos.a1,cfg.units.boss.pos.af,cfg.units.boss.pos.a2,cfg.units.boss.pos.x,cfg.units.boss.pos.y)
      else
        unit:SetPoint("TOP", boss[i-1], "BOTTOM", 0, -5)
      end
      table.insert(oUF_Diablo_Units,name) --add frames to the slash command function
      func.applyDragFunctionality(unit)
      boss[i] = unit
    end
  end

Think your answer might be next :

If I understood haste correctly boss frames are now real unitframes. Thus they should poll events like UNIT_HEALTH/UNIT_POWER on unit basis.

Thus you should be able to do sth like this:

RegisterUnitEvent("UNIT_HEALTH","boss1","boss2","boss3","boss4","boss5")
RegisterUnitEvent("UNIT_POWER","boss1","boss2","boss3","boss4","boss5")

Either this is not working as intended or sth else is wrong. Either way. The bossframes do not update correctly atm.

I don't think boss units are real units (maybe they changed it and they are supposed to be, but they are still not). I don't use oUF, but I have the exact same problem in my own unitframes if I don't poll boss units.

RegisterUnitEvent only supports up to 2 units to filter on:

frame:RegisterUnitEvent(event, unit1, unit2)

Thanks.

I checked ShadowedUnitFrames. He is still polling boss frame updates via OnUpdate. That is because his download is version 3.8.5.

The latest changelog including the clique-shiv and bossframe change is 3.8.6 but that version is not available for download. The download on wowace is working properly:

*edit*

I checked version 3.8.6. He did remove the OnUpdate polling of the boss frames. Not sure if he has any issues though.
