UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Hotbar}}
Returns the action in a hotbar slot and its current state.

<pre>
actionType, actionId, isEnabled, isTargetValid, isBlocked = GetHotbarData(slot)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;slot : <code>number</code> – Hotbar slot, 1 to 132 (<code>GameData.HOTBAR_TOTAL_SLOT_COUNT</code>).

== Returns ==
;actionType : <code>number</code> – Type of the action, a <code>GameData.PlayerActions</code> value. 0 for an empty slot.
;actionId : <code>number</code> – Id of the action (ability id, item id, macro slot, …). 0 for an empty slot.
;isEnabled : <code>boolean</code> – State flag of the slot. The stock action buttons use it as "enabled".
;isTargetValid : <code>boolean</code> – State flag of the slot. The stock action buttons use it as "target valid".
;isBlocked : <code>boolean</code> – State flag of the slot. The stock action buttons use it as "blocked".

== Details ==
* The three flags are kept by the client per hotbar entry and read here; the function does not run the ability checks itself.
* For a slot outside 1 to 132 the type and id are 0 and all three flags are <code>true</code>.
* If there is no player object, or the Lua state is not available, the function returns nothing.

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

== Example ==
From <code>ea_actionbars/source/actionbutton.lua</code>:
<pre>
if( actionType == nil or actionId == nil )
then
actionType, actionId, self.m_IsEnabled, self.m_IsTargetValid, self.m_IsBlocked = GetHotbarData( slot )
end
</pre>
