Detecting which spell has been cast

[leodido]

Hello, im new at creating addon and basically i wanna make a mod that tracks my shammy's totems. So i found the UNIT_SPELLCAST_STOP event to detect when the player cast an instant spell, but now im having trouble finding which spell was actually cast to find out the length of the spell, because UNIT_SPELLCAST_STOP has only arg1 which is the unit. Anyone got a clue? Do i have to look the chat to detect a totem or is there a simpler way?

"CHAT_MSG_SPELL_SELF_BUFF" will tell you that a totem was cast and it's name. Just do a string.find for the text, something like "You cast Searing Totem."

Take a look at my TotemAid addon to get an example.
