ITEMTYPE_LOCKPICK have no effect?

SnowmanDK · 12/03/14, 06:57 AM

Bank Manager Revived have been using ITEMTYPE_TOOL to move lockpicks, but I have been notified this also affects repair kits, which is not intended.
I then saw in the API WIKI there is ITEMTYPE_LOCKPICK but that don't seem to have any effect at all.
Either I overlooked something in my code (which is possible

) or it just doesn't work.

Can anyone confirm it actually works?

GetItemType on lockpicks I have returns 9 (ITEMTYPE_TOOL)

Then I wonder why they even added ITEMTYPE_LOCKPICK to the API.
It doesn't seem to have any function at all.

But thanks for the feedback, guess I have to add a subfilter to make sure only lockpicks get affected.

Follow up question:
How do you know what return value is equal to what?
I can't seem to find any tables showing that.
As I can see 9 = ITEMTYPE_TOOL
If I do a

Lua Code:

GetItemType(item.bag, item.slot)

then I just get an integer.

you can find the values with addons (e.g. zgoo)
I wrote myself a list when I reviewed the item categories in AGS:

Code:

SI_ITEMTYPE1	x	ITEMTYPE_WEAPON
SI_ITEMTYPE2	x	ITEMTYPE_ARMOR
SI_ITEMTYPE3		ITEMTYPE_PLUG
SI_ITEMTYPE4	x	ITEMTYPE_FOOD
SI_ITEMTYPE5	x	ITEMTYPE_TROPHY
SI_ITEMTYPE6	x	ITEMTYPE_SIEGE
SI_ITEMTYPE7	x	ITEMTYPE_POTION
SI_ITEMTYPE8	x	ITEMTYPE_RACIAL_STYLE_MOTIF
SI_ITEMTYPE9	x	ITEMTYPE_TOOL
SI_ITEMTYPE10	x	ITEMTYPE_INGREDIENT
SI_ITEMTYPE11		ITEMTYPE_ADDITIVE
SI_ITEMTYPE12	x	ITEMTYPE_DRINK
SI_ITEMTYPE13	x	ITEMTYPE_COSTUME
SI_ITEMTYPE14	x	ITEMTYPE_DISGUISE
SI_ITEMTYPE15	x	ITEMTYPE_TABARD
SI_ITEMTYPE16	x	ITEMTYPE_LURE
SI_ITEMTYPE17	x	ITEMTYPE_RAW_MATERIAL
SI_ITEMTYPE18	x	ITEMTYPE_CONTAINER
SI_ITEMTYPE19	x	ITEMTYPE_SOUL_GEM
SI_ITEMTYPE20	x	ITEMTYPE_GLYPH_WEAPON
SI_ITEMTYPE21	x	ITEMTYPE_GLYPH_ARMOR
SI_ITEMTYPE22		ITEMTYPE_LOCKPICK
SI_ITEMTYPE23		ITEMTYPE_WEAPON_BOOSTER
SI_ITEMTYPE24		ITEMTYPE_ARMOR_BOOSTER
SI_ITEMTYPE25		ITEMTYPE_ENCHANTMENT_BOOSTER
SI_ITEMTYPE26	x	ITEMTYPE_GLYPH_JEWELRY
SI_ITEMTYPE27		ITEMTYPE_SPICE
SI_ITEMTYPE28		ITEMTYPE_FLAVORING
SI_ITEMTYPE29	x	ITEMTYPE_RECIPE
SI_ITEMTYPE30		ITEMTYPE_POISON
SI_ITEMTYPE31	x	ITEMTYPE_REAGENT
SI_ITEMTYPE32		ITEMTYPE_DEPRECATED
SI_ITEMTYPE33	x	ITEMTYPE_ALCHEMY_BASE
SI_ITEMTYPE34	x	ITEMTYPE_COLLECTIBLE
SI_ITEMTYPE35	x	ITEMTYPE_BLACKSMITHING_RAW_MATERIAL
SI_ITEMTYPE36	x	ITEMTYPE_BLACKSMITHING_MATERIAL
SI_ITEMTYPE37	x	ITEMTYPE_WOODWORKING_RAW_MATERIAL
SI_ITEMTYPE38	x	ITEMTYPE_WOODWORKING_MATERIAL
SI_ITEMTYPE39	x	ITEMTYPE_CLOTHIER_RAW_MATERIAL
SI_ITEMTYPE40	x	ITEMTYPE_CLOTHIER_MATERIAL
SI_ITEMTYPE41	x	ITEMTYPE_BLACKSMITHING_BOOSTER
SI_ITEMTYPE42	x	ITEMTYPE_WOODWORKING_BOOSTER
SI_ITEMTYPE43	x	ITEMTYPE_CLOTHIER_BOOSTER
SI_ITEMTYPE44	x	ITEMTYPE_STYLE_MATERIAL
SI_ITEMTYPE45	x	ITEMTYPE_ARMOR_TRAIT
SI_ITEMTYPE46	x	ITEMTYPE_WEAPON_TRAIT
SI_ITEMTYPE47	x	ITEMTYPE_AVA_REPAIR
SI_ITEMTYPE48	x	ITEMTYPE_TRASH
SI_ITEMTYPE49		ITEMTYPE_SPELLCRAFTING_TABLET
SI_ITEMTYPE50		ITEMTYPE_MOUNT
SI_ITEMTYPE51	x	ITEMTYPE_ENCHANTING_RUNE_POTENCY
SI_ITEMTYPE52	x	ITEMTYPE_ENCHANTING_RUNE_ASPECT
SI_ITEMTYPE53	x	ITEMTYPE_ENCHANTING_RUNE_ESSENCE

Types without x are either unused, or I have not had an item to test it with.
No guarantees that all of the marked items are really in use either.

Possible return values are listed in ESOUIDocumentationP5.txt

* GetItemType(*integer* _bagId_, *integer* _slotIndex_)
** _Returns:_ *[ItemType|#ItemType]* _itemType_

h5. ItemType

Warning: Spoiler

There's no direct way to get the name of the constant equal to the value returned by GetItemType, you'd have to build a table yourself or use LibConstantMapper.

The name is only useful for debugging, or if you want to use it in saved variables rather than integer. In code, you don't need to care what the integer value is.

Thanks for the replies. You two gave me the information I needed

That one puzzles me though... Is that repairs for walls and doors in Cyrodiil?
It doesn't work for repair kits for gear at least as they are listed together with lockpicks under

Code:

SI_ITEMTYPE9		ITEMTYPE_TOOL

sirinsidiator · 12/03/14, 03:40 PM

you are right. they are wall and door repair items as AvA stands for Alliance versus Alliance.

merlight · 12/03/14, 04:55 PM

Just for completeness, you never want to use SI_ITEMTYPE47 in Lua code. The correct way to get that string is GetString("SI_ITEMTYPE", ITEMTYPE_AVA_REPAIR) -- it will work as long as the name is defined, even if they change the integer value.

You are correct there are several item types that are not used.
You can look on the wiki site under constants here: http://wiki.esoui.com/Constants_in_100008_API
and search for ITEMTYPE it will take you to a list that shows each item types values.

I don't remember for sure if that is a complete list, but you can create an up to date list by using the following code to grab all of the values of item types

Lua Code:

-- Initialize ItemTypes
    local itemTypeTable = {}
    for key, value in zo_insecurePairs(_G) do
       if (key):find("ITEMTYPE_")  and type(value) == "number" then
          itemTypeTable [key] = value   -- sorts by itemType name
-- or reverse the key & value to sort them by number
          itemTypeTable [value ] = key-- sorts by itemType number
       end
    end

Props to Garkin for showing me this trick it has come in handy MANY times when I wanted to find all possible values of certain types of constants, or even to look for functions with certain words in them to see if a function existed for something I was trying to do (in case it was not listed on the wiki).
