Description

hi,
I am trying to understand the parser output. For example:

{
  "time": 676,
  "type": "DOTA_COMBATLOG_MODIFIER_ADD",
  "value": 1,
  "attackername": "npc_dota_hero_bounty_hunter",
  "targetname": "npc_dota_hero_bristleback",
  "sourcename": "npc_dota_hero_lycan",
  "targetsourcename": "dota_unknown",
  "attackerhero": true,
  "targethero": true,
  "attackerillusion": false,
  "targetillusion": false,
  "inflictor": "modifier_bounty_hunter_track"
}

I read this as bounty hunter tracked bristleback, but what has lycan to do with this? What is the sourcename?

Brisleback and lycan are on the same team, so no lotus orb shenanigans.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the parser handles DOTA_COMBATLOG_MODIFIER_ADD events and populates the sourcename field, using the supplied JSON as the reproduction case. Compare the parsed event with the underlying Dota 2 replay semantics to determine whether lycan is expected or erroneous. Done means the field's meaning is established and, if incorrect, the parser output and a regression check are corrected.
