API:SendCustomizeItemIcon

UI Lua API · Item functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8

Asks the server to give an equipped item the appearance of another item, or to remove a custom appearance.

SendCustomizeItemIcon(equipSlot, sourceSlot, sourceLocation)

Arguments

equipSlot: number – Equipment slot of the item to change.
sourceSlot: number – Slot of the item whose appearance is copied, starting at 1. 0 removes the custom appearance.
sourceLocation: number – Location of that item, as a GameData.ItemLocs value. 0 when removing.

Nothing.

GameData.ItemLocs.BANK is handled as a source. So are INVENTORY, QUEST_ITEM, CRAFTING_ITEM, CURRENCY_ITEM and EQUIPPED.
The request is sent when the source converts to a valid slot, or when sourceSlot is 0. With an unsupported source location and a non-zero sourceSlot, nothing is sent.
The client does not check that the two items fit the same equipment slot. The stock UI checks this (and asks for confirmation) before calling.
If there is no player object, nothing happens.
The function needs at least three arguments and only reads the last three.

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

From default/ea_characterwindow/source/characterwindowitemappearance.lua:

local function ApplyItemAppearance()
    -- Try to customize the item in the slot
    SendCustomizeItemIcon( slot, sourceSlot, source )
end

Removing the custom appearance, from the same file:

local function RemoveItemAppearance()
    -- Try to remove the item's customized icon
    SendCustomizeItemIcon( slot, 0, 0 )
end
