API:GetHotbarName

UI Lua API · Hotbar functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8

Returns the name of the action in a hotbar slot.

name = GetHotbarName(slot)

Arguments

slot: number – Hotbar slot, 1 to 132 (GameData.HOTBAR_TOTAL_SLOT_COUNT).

The name is looked up according to the action type: abilities (types 1 and 10) use the AbilityNames string table, macros (type 4) the macro name, and type 2 a name the client keeps for that id. Other types, empty slots and slots outside 1 to 132 give L"".
If there is no player object, or the Lua state is not available, the function returns nothing.
The stock UI never calls this function.

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

A minimal example built from the signature:

local name = GetHotbarName( 1 )
if( name ~= L"" ) then
    LabelSetText( "MyLabel", name )
end
