Help finding list of SI_GAMECAMERAACTIONTYPE

[Sharlikran]

Where can one find a list of the SI_GAMECAMERAACTIONTYPE numbers. Esohead does not record Pure Water, which gives you water for alchemy when you loot it.

It should be the same as harvesting in general. I don't use the camera action type value to test with so not 100% sure it's the same value. But from memory the value is derived from a string generated from sigameaction and a number denoting which action you were doing.

[Sharlikran]

Since I could not find a list, then I just told the program to display the string associated with the Action Type. I didn't go past 20.

Cut probably exists but no idea which number it is.

[Xrystal]

Collect Cut Gather comes under harvest as an action for the harvest interaction. Occasionally I get search use and a few others crop up as a harvest action when using something totally different.

But thanks for the list. It looks like I may be able to limit the chances of a wrong interact if I throw that test in as well.

Do you know how to concat two stings, especially when one is an integer? I'm still a little weak with some of the lua syntax.

for i = 1, 50 do
  d( GetString("SI_GAMECAMERAACTIONTYPE" .. tostring(i)) )
end

Wouldn't that make it such that as i increases it would use 'SI_GAMECAMERAACTIONTYPE1', 'SI_GAMECAMERAACTIONTYPE2', and so on so I could automate making a better list of those constants?

[Xrystal]

Yes that is pretty much it .. let's look up how I did it for the item type one I use ..

Ah here we go, I use the following to get the string for Item Type.

local itemTypeString = GetString(_G["SI_ITEMTYPE"..itemType])

So for the action types you could do ..
actionString = GetString(_G["SI_GAMECAMERAACTIONTYPE"..i])

Looking at the Raw Global dump there doesn't seem to be a no 14 and no number higher than 18.

Since you already did that, which is awesome, how high did you set your loop?

[Xrystal]

I didn't. I just needed to use it to extract the localized word for the item type for my addon.

Hard to say what the loop should say. I would suggest, assuming the constants in the global page on the wiki are accurate and the gamecameraaction constant only goes up to 18, that you stop at 20.

To add to the above, the reason why Xrystal did not do tostring(i) is because Lua automatically converts a number to a string when doing concatenation.
