I recently tried to make a couple of custom events to try and improve my general performance.

The events in question:

(slightly altered to bypass EJ coding)

{name="Divine Shield Up", search="gains Divine Shield.", r=256/256, g=0/256, b=0/256, iscrit=1, frame=SCT.FRAME1},

{name="Divine Shield Down", search="Divine Shield fades", r=0/256, g=256/256, b=0/256, iscrit=1, frame=SCT.FRAME1},

{name="Divine Shield Down", search="Divine Shield is removed", r=0/256, g=256/256, b=0/256, iscrit=1, frame=SCT.FRAME1},

{name="Unstable Affliction Dispelled!!", search="Unstable Affliction is removed", r=256/256, g=0/256, b=0/256, iscrit=1, frame=SCT.FRAME1, class={"Warlock"}},

{name="Unstable Affliction Gone", search="unstable affliction fades", r=256/256, g=256/256, b=0/256, iscrit=1, frame=SCT.FRAME1, class={"Warlock"}},

{name="Fear Resisted", search="Your fear was resisted", r=256/256, g=0/256, b=0/256, iscrit=1, frame=SCT.FRAME1, class={"Warlock"}},

{name="Banish Resisted", search="Your banish was resisted", r=256/256, g=0/256, b=0/256, iscrit=1, frame=SCT.FRAME1, class={"Warlock"}},

{name="Unstable Affliction Resisted", search="Your unstable affliction was resisted", r=256/256, g=0/256, b=0/256, iscrit=1, frame=SCT.FRAME1, class={"Warlock"}},

{name="Cloak Of Shadows Up", search="gains Cloak of Shadows.", r=256/256, g=0/256, b=0/256, iscrit=1, frame=SCT.FRAME1},

{name="Cloak Of Shadows Down", search="Cloak of Shadows fades", r=0/256, g=256/256, b=0/256, iscrit=1, frame=SCT.FRAME1},



Some of these works (sometimes!) and some of them never really work. Any sort of input as to what should be changed or whether i should switch to another addon would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: It seems the CLoS/DS ones only trigger from friendly gains (even though i can see the hostile ones in my combatlog), witch i doesn't really care about. Any obvious reason for that?

Could be worth mentioning which don't work at all.
Quickly looking over it, I'd suggest you use proper capitalization (unstable affliction, etc).

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but i find Parrot (available from wowace.com) much easier to play around with, it basically has an option in the menu to input your own custom triggers. I'm not gonna plug parrot loads, as its essentially the same mod as sct - the only reason i switched was because you can enable icons, which I was really attracted to for some reason :p Then when it came to playing around with it, custom triggers were a nice bonus.

With regards to your sct problem, I cant actually help at all.

The DS/CLoS ones work on gains and gains only. They do however only seem to work on friendly targets witch is not the intention. This is despite the fact that i can see the "hostilerogue gains clos"-message in my combatlog.

None of the other ones work at all. Capitalization might be the issue, gonna give it some testing tomorrow.

I can't check as I'm not at my computer right now, but wasn't support for icons added in SCT also some time back?

Yes, I would second taking a look at Parrot. It has a nice GUI interface to build custom triggers for scrolling along with adding sound, custom font size, location of the scroll, etc...

Overall it took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to develop my own custom triggers in addition to the ones that are already included in the base module.

You might have a very good point in that one

The hostile power gains use different events. Is SCT registered for CHAT_MSG_SPELL_HOSTILEPLAYER_BUFF by default?

I don't know to be honest, it says nothing about it in the event config file at least. How do i check/change this?

The override=false thing seem to have helped a bit, at least all the resistmessages are working now.

The fade ones doesn't work at all neither does the dispel ones. I cant figure the gains out though. I run SaSCT too and sometimes i can get the "randomrogue gains Cloak of Shadows"-message from SaSCT and not from my custom event. Sometimes it works though and quite often i get it from friendly gains.

I tryed to make a custom event, to show if any friendly (raid member) dies near to me, but it's not working, anyone can help me out?
