Get dataEntry by help of bagId & slotIndex

[Baertram]

Hey community,

is there any easy way to get the "dataEntry" array/table of an item (inside your inventory, or bank, or..) by help of the bagId and slotIndex?

I'd like to check all items inside a bagId and get their dataEntry values.
I only know how to do it if I know the slot control name.

Is there any function like GetItemControl(bagId, slotId)? I did not find any so far.

Thanks for your help.

Backpack:

local itemData = PLAYER_INVENTORY:GetBackpackItem(slotIndex)

Bank:

local itemData = PLAYER_INVENTORY:GetBankItem(slotIndex)

Or directly from the table:

local itemData = PLAYER_INVENTORY.inventories[inventoryType].slots[slotIndex]

inventoryType:
INVENTORY_BACKPACK = 1
INVENTORY_QUEST_ITEM = 2
INVENTORY_BANK = 3
INVENTORY_GUILD_BANK = 4

Thank you very much Garkin.

One more thing I recognized:
If you enable a filter in the inventory the items won't be in the list of
PLAYER_INVENTORY.inventories[bagId].slots[slotIndex]
anymore. They are gone until you disable the filter again.

Is there any list of the inventory items containing ALL items, including the filtered ones?

There's not a control for every item in every bag. There's only as many as simultaneously visible, and item data is assigned to them as you scroll.

Well I'm not sure, but I think they should still be there. Filters are only applied to ScrollList controls' contents afaik. Anyway, while playing with quickslots inventory, I found they use this to get item data (and actually use that to fill inventory.slots, too):

SHARED_INVENTORY:GenerateSingleSlotData(bagId, slotIndex)

Forgot to add important note: the table returned from SHARED_INVENTORY:GenerateSingleSlotData is cached, and as the name suggests, shared. It must not be modified. Make a copy if you need to.

Just a note - bagId is not the same as inventoryType:

BAG_WORN = 0
BAG_BACKPACK = 1
BAG_BANK = 2
BAG_GUILDBANK = 3
BAG_BUYBACK = 4
BAG_TRANSFER = 5
BAG_DELETE = 255

INVENTORY_BACKPACK = 1
INVENTORY_QUEST_ITEM = 2
INVENTORY_BANK = 3
INVENTORY_GUILD_BANK = 4

As you can see only backpack has the same index, bank and guildbank has different indexes (http://wiki.esoui.com/Constants_in_100008_API).



And as merlight said, all slots should be available uf you use:

SHARED_INVENTORY:GenerateSingleSlotData(bagId, slotIndex)

[Baertram]

Yes, I noticed the different between bagId and inventoryId. My variable name copied was the wrong one :-D

As for your first question, Garkin took care of that. I personally use

PLAYER_INVENTORY.inventories[inventoryType].slots[slotIndex].dataEntry

I've not used the

SHARED_INVENTORY:GenerateSingleSlotData(bagId, slotIndex)

that they talked about, but I do know a little about the filters & slot tables you were discussing.


The filters are a small list of information (button textures, description, the button control, ect..) including a filterType which is really just a number. Its all stored in the tabFilters table of an inventory (found in):

PLAYER_INVENTORY.inventories[inventoryType].tabFilters

Each slot also has one or more filterType numbers assigned to it, which can be found in the slots filterData table:

-- With the exception of the Quest Inventory, it does not have a filterData table --
PLAYER_INVENTORY.inventories[inventoryType].slots[slotIndex].filterData

When you enable a filter it clears the inventories "listView" (list of all visible items in the Inventory), and rebuilds it only (showing) adding slots (items) to the listView that have the current filterType Number in their filterData table. But the listView and the slots are two separate tables in different locations:

PLAYER_INVENTORY.inventories[inventoryType].slots[slotIndex]
PLAYER_INVENTORY.inventories[inventoryType].listView

The point is that enabling a filter changes the listView table, it does not change the items listed in the slots table:

PLAYER_INVENTORY.inventories[inventoryType].slots[slotIndex]

The items are all there regardless of any applied filters.


It sounds like you were looking at:

PLAYER_INVENTORY.inventories[inventoryType].listView.data

Those are the "visible" items in the inventory. The ones that have a filterType number in their filterData table that matches the current filter. Those do change when filters are applied as it only lists (contains) items that are currently visible.
