UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Game}}
Sends a bug report text to the server.

<pre>
SendBugReport(category, text)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;category : <code>number</code> – Bug category. Only the low 8 bits are sent.
;text : <code>wstring</code> – The report text.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* If <code>text</code> is empty, nothing is sent.
* The text is converted to a narrow (single-byte) string and cut to fit a 1000-byte field before sending.
* Nothing is sent if the connection is not ready.
* The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two.
* The stock UI does not use this function. Its bug report window sends reports with <code>SendHelpMessage(GameData.HelpType.CREATE_BUG_REPORT, ...)</code>; a call to <code>SendBugReport</code> is left there as a comment.

== Errors ==
None besides the generic ''Invalid Parameters'' message when an argument has the wrong type.

== Example ==
The commented-out call in <code>default/ea_helpwindow/source/bugreportwindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
--SendBugReport( BugReportWindow.selectedType, BugReportWindowReportText.Text )
</pre>
