UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Pregame}}
Picks a game server from the server list and moves the pregame on to logging in to it.

<pre>
SelectServer(serverId)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;serverId : <code>number</code> – The <code>id</code> field of an entry from [[API:GetServerList|GetServerList]].

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* The client looks for a server with this id in its server list. Servers marked <code>retired</code> are skipped. If no match is found, nothing happens.
* On a match the client remembers the server as the chosen one.
* If the client is in the pregame state, it then switches to its next pregame step to connect to that server.
* The login server data must be available; otherwise nothing happens.
* The stock UI sets the realm choice with [[API:PregameSetPreSelectedServerRealm|PregameSetPreSelectedServerRealm]] before calling this.

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

== Example ==
From <code>interfacecore/source/serverselectwindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
local serverData = ServerSelectWindow.serverList[ServerSelectWindow.selectedServer]
-- set the pre-selected server to both realms
PregameSetPreSelectedServerRealm(ServerSelectWindow.BOTH_REALM_OPTIONS)
SelectServer(serverData.id)
</pre>

== See also ==
