UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Ability}}
Returns the data of an ability by id.

<pre>
abilityData = GetDatabaseAbilityData(abilityId)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;abilityId : <code>number</code> – Id of the ability.

== Returns ==
;abilityData : <code>table</code> – An [[API:GetAbilityData#Ability data table|ability data table]]. Nothing is returned if there is no player object or the ability is not found.

== Details ==
* <code>abilityId</code> is converted to a 16-bit integer.
* Unlike [[API:GetAbilityData|GetAbilityData]], the result has no <code>isActive</code> field, and nothing is returned for an unknown id.
* The stock UI never calls this function.

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

== Example ==
A minimal example built from the signature:
<pre>
local data = GetDatabaseAbilityData( abilityId )
if( data ~= nil ) then
local texture, x, y = GetIconData( data.iconNum )
end
</pre>

== See also ==
* [[API:GetAbilityData|GetAbilityData]]
* [[API:GetDatabaseQuestData|GetDatabaseQuestData]]
