UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Hotbar}}
Returns the name of the action in a hotbar slot.

<pre>
name = GetHotbarName(slot)
</pre>

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

== Returns ==
;name : <code>wstring</code> – Name of the action, or <code>L""</code>.

== Details ==
* The name is looked up according to the action type: abilities (types 1 and 10) use the <code>AbilityNames</code> string table, macros (type 4) the macro name, and type 2 a name the client keeps for that id. Other types, empty slots and slots outside 1 to 132 give <code>L""</code>.
* If there is no player object, or the Lua state is not available, the function returns nothing.
* 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 name = GetHotbarName( 1 )
if( name ~= L"" ) then
LabelSetText( "MyLabel", name )
end
</pre>
