Sloted Abilites in all Bars

[Havin]

Hi, i am Havin and currently working/experimenting on an addon.

I`d like to see, which of my Ultimates is ready.

So i have to find out which Ultimate i got in Front Bar and which in Back-Bar.

Currently i use GetSlotAbilityCost(8), but this only shows me the Ultimate of the currently active SlotBar.


Any idea hot to "read out" the Ability Costs of the other Slot Bar?

Thanks

Hi and welcome to the ESOUI forums.

Unfortunately the answer to your question is "it's not possible".
You cannot access the backbar while it is not the active bar.

You can find some suggestions how to solve the issue in a different way here.

First, thank you, for the quick answer

So, im gonna "sniff" it then. Thats not a perfect solution, but it may do the job also.

Besides that, does a value exist to find out which of the bars is currently active? That would help to save the Ultimate Costs and to position that information in the screen.

You can use the event if a weapon pair changes:

--Register callback function if the weapon bars change
    EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent(myAddon.Name .. "_WeaponPairChanged", EVENT_ACTIVE_WEAPON_PAIR_CHANGED, ActiveWeaponPairChanged)

In the callback function "ActiveWeaponPairChanged" you can save the active weapon pair to a variable in your addon:

--Fires each time you change your weapon bars
local function ActiveWeaponPairChanged(eventCode, activeWeaponPair, locked)
    myAddon.activeWeaponBar = activeWeaponPair
end

This event will trigger multiple times if the weapon pair changes!
If I remember right it was something like
-One time for the "form-bar" with locked = true
-One time for the "to-bar" with locked = false
-One time for the "form-bar" with locked = false

Locked is the state as the abilities on the bar get locked. They get grayed out and you're not able to use them during the switch happens.
