Title: How to hide selected (enemy) player's buffs ?
Post by: Barbz on April 27, 2017, 09:09:15 pm

Reposting it in a better subforum (I think)

Hello,

I would like to hide players' buffs. It means that if you encounter a player, you don't know which buff he has. You should still be able to see your own buffs, and eventually (not required) friendly players' buffs (same faction, same group, same raid). I think it is exactly how it works in Vanilla so I would like to make it similar in WOTLK.

I know there are DBC parameters like these :
   SPELL_ATTR0_HIDDEN_CLIENTSIDE                = 0x00000080, //  7 Spells with this attribute are not visible in spellbook or aura bar
   SPELL_ATTR0_HIDE_IN_COMBAT_LOG               = 0x00000100, //  8 This attribite controls whether spell appears in combat logs
SPELL_ATTR1_DONT_DISPLAY_IN_AURA_BAR         = 0x10000000, // 28 client doesn't display these spells in aura bar

But since I already tested a lot of spells, I suppose these parameters completely hide the buffs, even from the buff owner, which make them very unpractical to use.

Any idea ?

If I understand correctly, you should be able to do it with some lua/xml editing on the targetframe, dont know where exactly tho.

This should be done server side. The server decides what auras to send. It should just be patched not to.

I'll keep that in mind, thank you.
