[implemented] GetWeaponPairInfo() to get backbar slot data

Hey chip and others, I would love to get a function that returns data of ALL sloted abilities (including the ones sloted on the backbar), because I need a representation of a player's the total skill layout after ADDON_LOADED.

I am currently waiting for the user to switch to his backbar (2nd weapon pair) to get the information. This is a very bad approach though, as I would need the backbar info earlier:

Code:

function AuraMastery:GetActionbarSetup()

        local activeActionBar = GetActiveWeaponPairInfo()

        for n = 3, 8 do

                AuraMastery.actionbarData[activeActionBar][n] = GetSlotBoundId(n)

        end

end



function AuraMastery.OnActionSlotsFullUpdate()

        --d("FULL UPDATE");

        AuraMastery:GetActionbarSetup();

end



EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(AuraMastery.name, EVENT_ACTION_SLOTS_FULL_UPDATE, AuraMastery.OnActionSlotsFullUpdate)

I would love to get sth. like:

Code:

GetSlotedAbilitiesInfo(optional parameter: weaponPairId=frontbar or backbar)



returns: 

table {

  [1] = {

    [1] = SlotBoundId for slot 1 on weaponpair 1 ...

    [2] = SlotBoundId for slot 2 on weaponpair 1 ...

    ...

  },

  [2] = {

    [1] = SlotBoundId for slot 1 on weaponpair 2 ...

    [2] = SlotBoundId for slot 2 on weaponpair 2 ...

    ...

  }

}

Would an implementation like this cause much work?

Cheers,
Letho

Sounds like it might be related to this request.

I would say that it will require a huge change from zos, because it is known that swapping generate some network activity.. does the C++ know which skills are on the non active bar or does this trigger a network request at each swap? ^^

Well if it doesn't know, code like this requesting it once is probably not much worse than people swapping bars repeatedly throughout combat. :P

The info could also be stored - read-only-ly - inside the control, like with InventoryDataLine..?

Is the idea behind that to be able to change skills while in combat? I always found it kind of annoying to not have access on my back bar while I'm dead / waiting for respawn anyway. It happens too often that I drag the wrong skill to my bar and then the tank is charging...

I'd like to see a Set() version of this as well. One usage of this would be for skill swap out addons. They currently need you to switch to each bar to apply the saved setup.

Reason is simple: I wish control's to be visible or hidden based on sloted abilities. Currently every control is visible after loging in until the player switches to the backbar.
