UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Tactics}}
Stores a list of tactics in one of the player's saved tactic sets and sends the saved set to the server.

<pre>
SaveTacticsSet(setIndex, tacticIds)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;setIndex : <code>number</code> – Index of the set, <code>0</code> to <code>4</code>. Note that this is 0-based.
;tacticIds : <code>number-table</code> – Array of tactic ability IDs, starting at index 1.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* The set is cleared, then filled with the IDs from <code>tacticIds</code> in table order. IDs equal to <code>0</code> are skipped. Only the first 7 non-zero IDs are kept.
* The updated set is sent to the server. The stock tactics window reads saved sets with <code>GetTacticsSet(setIndex)</code>.
* This only saves the set. It does not change the active tactics; use [[API:ActivateTactics|ActivateTactics]] for that.
* A <code>setIndex</code> of 5 or higher is ignored.
* Does nothing if the player object does not exist yet.
* The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two.

== Errors ==
* <code>Error in function call 'SaveTacticsSet': Incorrect parameters</code>

== Example ==
From <code>default/ea_tacticswindow/source/tacticswindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
if (self.currentSet < MAX_TACTICS_SETS) then -- is this needed?
SaveTacticsSet (self.currentSet, self.buttonManager:GetList ());
end
</pre>

Overwriting set 0 with the active tactics, from the same file:
<pre>
SaveTacticsSet (0, GetActiveTactics());
</pre>
