UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=Crafting}}
Tells the server that the player has opened a crafting window for a trade skill.

<pre>
SendInitCrafting(tradeSkill)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;tradeSkill : <code>number</code> – A <code>GameData.TradeSkills</code> value. The stock UI uses <code>APOTHECARY</code> (4) and <code>TALISMAN</code> (5).

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* For trade skills 4 and 5 the client sends a crafting "start" request for that skill. For any other value it sends the same message type without the crafting command, so use 4 or 5.
* 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/ea_craftingwindow/source/talismanmakingwindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
SendInitCrafting( GameData.TradeSkills.TALISMAN )
</pre>

From <code>default/ea_craftingwindow/source/apothecarywindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
SendInitCrafting( GameData.TradeSkills.APOTHECARY )
</pre>
