UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Game}}
Returns the name of a key-bindable action, given its numeric id.

<pre>
actionName = GetActionNameFromId(actionId)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;actionId : <code>number</code> – Id of the action, from 0 to 249.

== Returns ==
;actionName : <code>string</code> – Name of the action, or an empty string if the id is out of range.

== Details ==
* The number is converted to an integer. Ids above 249 return <code>""</code>.
* The result is a plain string, not a wide string.
* [[API:GetActionIdFromName|GetActionIdFromName]] does the reverse lookup.
* The stock UI never calls this function.

== Errors ==
None.

== Example ==
A minimal example built from the signature (<code>"PET_ATTACK"</code> is an action name used in <code>ea_actionbars/source/actionbutton.lua</code>):
<pre>
local id = GetActionIdFromName( "PET_ATTACK" )
local name = GetActionNameFromId( id )
</pre>

== See also ==
* [[API:GetActionIdFromName|GetActionIdFromName]]
