UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Crafting}}
Returns the player's level in a trade skill.

<pre>
level = GetTradeSkillLevel(tradeSkill)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;tradeSkill : <code>number</code> – A <code>GameData.TradeSkills</code> value, 1 (<code>BUTCHERING</code>) to 6 (<code>SALVAGING</code>).

== Returns ==
;level : <code>number</code> – The skill level, or 0 if the player does not have the skill.

== Details ==
* Any value outside 1–6 returns 0.
* The level is the base level the client stores. Bonuses are not added; the stock tooltips add them with [[API:GetBonus|GetBonus]].
* If there is no player object or the Lua state is not available, nothing is returned.
* The function needs at least one argument and only reads the last one.

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

== Example ==
From <code>default/easystem_tooltips/source/itemtooltips.lua</code>:
<pre>
local playerHasSalvagingSkill = (GetTradeSkillLevel(GameData.TradeSkills.SALVAGING) > 0);
</pre>
