sup with auras

[exemplar]

They are worse this release than last release. I posted on bugtracker ages ago but it's gone unanswered. Any insight?

furthermore, how often does objectmanager update? im doing rapid scans typeof WoWPlayer and its returning blatantly old/invalid results.
edit: I think ObjectManager.Update(); fixed that problem, though.

watevs, here's a way to do auras that's more expensive, but useful for when aura detection actually matters

        private bool isAuraActive(string name, WoWUnit u)
        {
            string s = Lua.GetReturnVal<string>("a,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_,_ = UnitAura(\"" + DeUnicodify(u.Name) + 
                                                "\", \"" + DeUnicodify(name) + "\"); return a;", 0);
            return s != null;
        }

...

        private string DeUnicodify(string s)
        {

            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(s);
            foreach (byte b in bytes)
            {
                if (b != 0)
                    sb.Append("\\" + b);
            }
            return sb.ToString();
        }

Which bug are you talking about?

I have not seen any issues with auras. Maybe you're using them wrong?

Bug 110 – ObjectManager.Me.ActiveAuras is occasionally wrong

WoWUnit.ActiveAuras is definitely returning wrong values at times. I am not sure if it is returning an empty set or just giving rubbish answers, but it's certainly one of the two

OK so I just felt bad for not providing concrete examples and added something, and behold a minute or two later

[7:34:28 PM:872] AURAS WRONG BROSEPH 07:34:28

                        bool aura1 = Me.ActiveAuras.ContainsKey("Battle Shout");
                        bool aura2 = isAuraActive("Battle Shout");
                        if (aura1 != aura2)
                        {
                            Logging.Write("AURAS WRONG BROSEPH " + DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mm:ss"));
                        }

Where isAuraActive is just a wrapper for the LUA function above. I did no buffing)

I died and rezzed but did /not/ cast battle shout, it simply gave me a false positive as I rezzed (and presumably auras list changed). Regadless of that, this happens all the time while not rezzing (my pally thinks he doesn't have a seal applied _all the time_, for this exact reason)
