API:GetCraftingBackPackSlots

UI Lua API · Crafting functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8

Returns, for each filled crafting slot of a trade skill, the backpack slot the item came from.

sources = GetCraftingBackPackSlots(tradeSkill)

Arguments

tradeSkill: number – A GameData.TradeSkills value. The stock UI uses APOTHECARY (4) and TALISMAN (5).

Returns

sources: table – Table keyed by crafting slot, 0 to 7, the same keys as GetCraftingData. Crafting slots whose source is not in the inventory or crafting backpack have no entry.

Each entry has these fields:

Key	Type	Meaning
`slot`	`number`	Slot inside the backpack, starting at 1.
`backpack`	`number`	2 for the main inventory or 4 for the crafting backpack (`EA_Window_Backpack.TYPE_INVENTORY` / `TYPE_CRAFTING`).

Details

Only items from the main inventory (slots 1–80) and the crafting backpack (slots 1–80) are reported.
The table can have gaps. The stock UI stops at the first missing index.
Nothing is returned for trade skill 0 or 7, or if there is no player object or the Lua state is not available. Other values are not range-checked.
Exactly one argument must be passed.

Errors

None besides the generic Invalid Parameters message when the argument is missing or not a number.

Example

From default/ea_craftingwindow/source/talismanmakingwindow.lua:

local backpackSlots = GetCraftingBackPackSlots( GameData.TradeSkills.TALISMAN )
...
for index = 0, TalismanMakingWindow.maxResources
do
    if( not backpackSlots[index] )
    then
        break
    end
    local backpackSlot = backpackSlots[index].slot
    local backpackType = backpackSlots[index].backpack
