API:GetDatabaseQuestData

UI Lua API · Quest functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8

Returns the data of a quest by id, including its rewards. Used for quest links in chat.

questData = GetDatabaseQuestData(questId)

Arguments

questData: table – A quest table with the same fields as the entries of GetQuestData, plus a rewards field. Nothing is returned if the quest is not found.

The rewards table has these fields:

Key	Type	Meaning
`xp`	`number`	Experience reward.
`money`	`number`	Money reward.
`itemsGiven`	`table`	Array, indexed from 1, of item data tables for the items always given.
`itemsChosen`	`table`	Array, indexed from 1, of item data tables for the items to choose from.
`maxChoices`	`number`	How many of the `itemsChosen` items can be picked.

questId is converted to a 16-bit integer.
The client first looks in its database of linked quests, then in the player's own quest log.
The quest fields are filled by the same code as GetQuestData.

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

From ea_chatwindow/source/chathyperlinking.lua:

local questData = GetDatabaseQuestData( questId )
if( not questData )
then
    -- Show an error message
    return
end

Reading a reward item, from the same file:

local itemData = questData.rewards.itemsGiven[rewardIndex]
