Detect if local player is in an encounter?

[jnco]

Has anyone seen a flag or function that might detect if the local player is in an encounter?

Addons like WeakAuras are subscribing to combat log events - internally though I imagine I'd have to continuously loop through the combat log and that feels like it might decrease performance.

edit: i'm dumb, there's a script function

ENCOUNTER_START - Wowpedia - Your wiki guide to the World of Warcraft

I just searched for ENCOUNTER_START string constant and found this.
I imagine something here is a flag for being in encounter. This is just from some revision I have up rn, do the string search in the actual revision you're using

__int64 __fastcall sub_141408740(unsigned int *a1, const char *a2)
{
  __int64 result; // rax
  bool v5; // si
  unsigned __int32 v6; // eax
  const char *v7; // r9
  unsigned int v8; // [rsp+20h] [rbp-1028h]
  unsigned int v9; // [rsp+28h] [rbp-1020h]
  unsigned __int32 v10; // [rsp+30h] [rbp-1018h]
  int v11; // [rsp+38h] [rbp-1010h]
  char v12[4096]; // [rsp+40h] [rbp-1008h] BYREF

  result = sub_1415E6380(1i64);
  v5 = (_DWORD)result != 0;
  if ( (_DWORD)result )
  {
    v6 = objMgr::MapId();
    v7 = byte_142261CFA;
    v11 = 11;
    v10 = v6;
    if ( a2 )
      v7 = a2;
    v8 = a1[9];
    v9 = a1[10];
    sub_140227BE0(v12, "ENCOUNTER_START,%d,\"%s\",%d,%d,%d,%d", a1[8], v7, v8, v9, v10, v11);
    if ( v5 )
      sub_1415DEBE0(v12);
    return sub_141409960(a1 + 12);
  }
  return result;
}

Glad you found what you needed. In case you need more than just a yes/no on combat you can use this one it returns levels of threat for the units specified. _chase has the solution that you would need for combat where you might not be in the same party or targeting, but for 90 percent of the time this works pretty nice.

status = UnitThreatSituation("unit"[, "otherunit"])
