API:GetNumTacticsSlots

UI Lua API · Game functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8

Returns how many tactic slots of each type the player has.

slots = GetNumTacticsSlots()

Arguments

None.

Returns

slots

table – Table with the keys 0, 1 and 2, one per tactic type. Each value is the number of slots (number) of that type.

Details

• The keys start at 0, not 1. The stock UI indexes the table with a tactic type and loops from GameData.TacticType.FIRST to GameData.TacticType.NUM_TYPES.
• If there is no player object, the table is empty.
• If the Lua state is not available, the function returns nothing.

Errors

None.

Example

Creating one button per slot, from ea_tacticswindow/source/tacticswindow.lua:

self.tacticsSlots = GetNumTacticsSlots ();
...
for slotType = GameData.TacticType.FIRST, GameData.TacticType.NUM_TYPES do
    for i = 1, self.tacticsSlots[slotType] do
        local button = self:CreateButton (slotType);

From easystem_actionbarclustermanager/source/newabilityhandler.lua:

local tacticsSlots      = GetNumTacticsSlots ()
local availableSlots    = tacticsSlots[newAbility.tacticType] -- Begins at the maximum!
