API:InteractSelect

UI Lua API · Interact functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8

Selects an option or a quest from the interaction menu returned by InteractGetBaseInteractionData.

InteractSelect(interactionId, type, slot)

Arguments

interactionId: number – Id of the current interaction, the same value passed to InteractGetBaseInteractionData. Only its low 16 bits are compared.
type: number – The type field of the chosen option or quest.
slot: number – For quests (type 6), the quest's slot field. The stock UI passes 0 for other options.

Returns

Nothing.

Details

If interactionId does not match the current interaction, nothing happens.
The client runs the action for type. For quests, a slot outside the quest list does nothing; otherwise the client sends the server a request for that quest.
type is not range-checked. The client looks it up in a table of handlers for types 0 to 22; the entries for 16 and 17 are empty, and values outside 0–22 are read past the end of the table. Only pass type values received from InteractGetBaseInteractionData.
The function needs at least three arguments and only reads the last three.

Errors

None besides the generic Invalid Parameters message when an argument is missing or not a number.

Example

From default/ea_interactionwindow/source/interactionbase.lua:

function EA_Window_InteractionBase.QuestLButtonUp()
    local buttonIndex = WindowGetId(SystemData.ActiveWindow.name)
    local dataIndex   = ListBoxGetDataIndex("EA_Window_InteractionBaseQuestList", buttonIndex)
    local optionData  = EA_Window_InteractionBase.questListData[dataIndex]
   
    InteractSelect(EA_Window_InteractionBase.tempTarget, optionData.type, optionData.slot)
end

From the same file, for a menu option:

InteractSelect(EA_Window_InteractionBase.tempTarget, optionData.type, 0)
