UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Crafting}}
Asks the server to craft with the items currently placed in the crafting window.

<pre>
PerformCrafting(tradeSkill, value)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;tradeSkill : <code>number</code> – A <code>GameData.TradeSkills</code> value: <code>APOTHECARY</code> (4) or <code>TALISMAN</code> (5).
;value : <code>number</code> – Sent with the request. The stock UI always passes 1.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* For trade skills 4 and 5 the client sends a crafting "perform" request for that skill. For any other value it sends the same message type without the crafting command.
* If a certain player state flag is set, the client adds a fixed message to the <code>Chat</code> text log instead of sending the request.
* The ingredients are the ones added with [[API:AddCraftingContainer|AddCraftingContainer]] and [[API:AddCraftingItem|AddCraftingItem]]. The result arrives from the server.
* The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two.

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

== Example ==
From <code>default/ea_craftingwindow/source/talismanmakingwindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
PerformCrafting( GameData.TradeSkills.TALISMAN, 1 )
</pre>

== See also ==
* [[API:AddCraftingItem|AddCraftingItem]]
* [[API:AddCraftingContainer|AddCraftingContainer]]
* [[API:GetCraftingData|GetCraftingData]]
* [[API:SendInitCrafting|SendInitCrafting]]
