    Hi,

    i'm trying to detect (via events) when a party member starts to get on his mount.

    There are "UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED" and "UNIT_SPELLCAST_INTERRUPTED" events sent when the mounting was successfull or interrupted. But there is no "UNIT_SPELLCAST_START" event when the 3 second process of mounting is initiated.

    Maybe i'm just not aware of the "right" event to listen to? Any advice would be appreciated.

    regards

    Using /dtevents in DevTools, I can see the following events fire:

    UNIT_SPELLCAST_START

    UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED

    UNIT_SPELLCAST_STOP

    Are you seeing something different?

    Thank you for bringing this "DevTool" Addon to my attention, i wasn't aware of it before. The event trace really makes things easier.

    You are right. For yourself you also receive the Spell_Start event, but not for party members. They only send COMPANION_UPDATE followed by UNIT_SPELLCAST_SUCCEEDED, but both only after mounting is finished. Initiation of mounting is not accompanied by any party-wide event.

    From the event trace i now know that there are no other events i can listen to, which kinda sucks, but at least now i know and can move on.

    Thanks again for your input!
