cachedbuff¶
Info
"Cached Buffs" used to be a new way to access buff information on players without needing to re-target them. Now, this functionality is fully integrated into MacroQuest and available through the buff datatype. As a result, using cached buffs is now discouraged.
You should only used this type if you need access to its "unique" style of buff lookup.
Information about cached buffs on a player. Data must be populated on a player by first targeting them.
