Slouken: PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED bug fixed in patch 2.1
Another bug has reportedly been fixed for World of Warcraft patch 2.1. The bug in question concerns the PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED event which, as pointed out by WoW forums member Trevion in the official WoW forums, does not fire when a player is in combat and leaves an instance. Here are a few observations posted by Trevion regarding the bug:
Enter an instance such as Stockade and enter combat with a mob, then exit the instance .. or simply /afk out of a BG while in combat. You will notice for a moment that InCombatLockdown() is true then it will switch to false but PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED never fires. This could simply be a semantic problem, but if so is there an event for when the lockdown is about to begin and after it ends?
I have seen the following documented:
- PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED is sent before protected frames are locked down
- PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED is sent after protected frames are unlocked
and
- PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED : Fired whenever you get aggro, as normal regen rates are disabled during combat.
- PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED : Fired after ending combat, as regen rates return to normal. Useful for determining when a player has lost aggro.
Anyway, as we have said, the bug is now fixed for WoW 2.1. According to Blizzard poster Slouken, players will get PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED before PLAYER_LEAVING_WORLD fires.
