Question - Sanity Check: Shaman Turgur's Virulent Swarm Triggers

[rouneq]

I was going through testing some code changes. One of these changes involved working with spell triggers from AAs. When I look at Me.AltAbility[Turgur's Virulent Swarm].Spell.NumEffects, MQ reports 2. Then looking at the individual triggers from this (Turgur's Insects and Turgur's Diminishment), Me.AltAbility[Turgur's Virulent Swarm].Spell.Trigger[1] does report Turgur's Insects. Me.AltAbility[Turgur's Virulent Swarm].Spell.Trigger[2] reports NULL. Is this an EQ problem or am I missing something?

Not at keys to test, but is this a 0/1 vs 1/2 issue?

 

[rouneq]

Good thought. I should have mentioned I tested Trigger[0] before posting (also NULL).

You can look at the raw spell data and see what's going on. https://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.html?id=23508&source=Live

Looks like it has 2 effects, but only one trigger.

 

[rouneq]

Is there a way to know how many triggers a spell has? Or what the associated effects are? I'm guessing this is a spell data limitation, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Maybe I've just misunderstood the relationship between NumEffects and Trigger.

I believe this is Square vs Rectangle -- All triggers are effects, not all effects are triggers.

So you would never have more than NumEffects triggers, but NumEffects is not representative of the number of triggers you have. I don't think we have a TLO or Member that specifically requests the number of triggers.
