So I've been having a somewhat annoying issue with one of my bars not going away when it should (but not all of the time).

I have a continuous run bar that basically looks at curable effects (IF/ELSE/IF... for all fear, disease, poison, wound). If a curable effect is present, it triggers a custom event to show a CURE bar, otherwise sends another event to hide it.

It also has a separate check for health level, and sends events to show or hide the HEALTH bar.

However, sometimes (it seems like a race condition), the CURE bar will not go away and I have to unload SB, wait a few seconds for the apartment to tear down, then load SB and all is well.

Unfortunately, this is most likely to happen during busy fights with lots of things happening (hence race condition) and I rely on the visibility of the CURE bar to let me know I need to pot something. But if it stays visible, I end up wasting skills/pots and don't have them ready when I actually do need it.

I've been going through the plugin code and I've narrowed it down to fear (at least, it seems that way most of the time). I added some script logging entries ("+" on AddPlayerEffect, "-" on RemovePlayerEffect) and captured this:

So I know the event is firing fine. I made some functions to print out current and cached player effects, and those are generally in-sync, but when this situation presents itself:

So it thinks I still have an active, curable fear effect which was already removed.

Nothing is jumping out at me in the code, unless it's some race condition which won't stand out. I've made some methods to debug print as well as clear all activeCurableCategories as a workaround, since it's much easier to do that than a full reload - but I'd like to have this permanently fixed.

I'll keep poking around in the code as well.

Unfortunately I don't have a screen. Once it's been set once (to true or false), the errors appear to go away. Is this something I should worry about, or LUA is fine dealing with undefined variables (like not throwing exceptions of something)?

Or this is allowed only for user-defined events? Mostly interested in "target changed" event, to manage dots. For now I am using the structure you proposed some weeks ago (extra bar watching for the target changed, and setting the LUA variable on reset).

This sometimes gets it stuck, maybe it has no info to move on, or some such. I surrounded it with "re-evaluate continuously" but it does not help either.



Also, another of the new anthems - "Greater Anthem II - War", although has full options, but appears to ignore "when executed", both without and with "secondary detection". These were reworked recently, as part of minstrel class review, so maybe they are not in the database.


I did no test other anthems yet.

4. Spear and Shield (advance when skill executes)
5. }
