API:GetCraftingData

UI Lua API · Crafting functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8

Returns the items currently placed in the crafting window of a trade skill.

craftingItems = GetCraftingData(tradeSkill)

Arguments

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

Returns

craftingItems: table – Array of 8 item data tables, indexed by crafting slot from 0 to 7.

Details

The indexes start at 0, not 1. ipairs skips entry 0; use a numeric for loop from 0 as the stock UI does.
All 8 entries are always present. A crafting slot without an item gets a table with default values (id 0).
Nothing is returned for trade skill 0 or 7. Other values are not range-checked, so only pass real trade skill values. Nothing is returned either if there is no player object or the Lua state is not available.
The stock crafting windows call it from their crafting status update handlers, together with GetCraftingBackPackSlots.
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:

function TalismanMakingWindow.UpdateCraftingStatus( updatedIngredients )
    ...
    local craftingData = GetCraftingData( GameData.TradeSkills.TALISMAN )
    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

        local currentItem = craftingData[index]
        local validItem = currentItem.id ~= 0

Return of Reckoning
