UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Loot}}
Asks the server to give an item from the open loot window to a member of the player's group or warband.

<pre>
AssignLootItem(lootIndex, playerName)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;lootIndex : <code>number</code> – Position of the item in the current loot list, starting at 1.
;playerName : <code>wstring</code> – Name of the group or warband member who should receive the item.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* The name is turned into a member ID before sending:
** In a warband, the warband's members are searched.
** Otherwise the group's members are searched. Here the comparison ignores case and only needs <code>playerName</code> to match the start of a member's name.
* If no member matches, the request is still sent, with an empty (zero) member ID.
* If <code>lootIndex</code> is outside the current loot list, nothing is sent.
* The request is sent for the object the player last interacted with. Nothing is sent if there is no such object or the connection is not ready.
* The client does not check that the player is allowed to assign loot. The server decides.
* The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two.

== Errors ==
None besides the generic ''Invalid Parameters'' message when an argument has the wrong type.

== Example ==
From <code>default/ea_lootwindow/source/lootwindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
function EA_Window_Loot.OnSelectGroupMember( name )
if( EA_Window_Loot.curSlot ~= nil )
then
-- Give the item to the player
AssignLootItem( EA_Window_Loot.curSlot, name )
end
end
</pre>
