slotIndex of equipped armory always 0? (But ZGOO gives me other results)

[Baertram]

Hi, I'm trying to get the slotIndex and bagId of all the equipment slots (only armory).
I think O'm doing some silly mistake but can't get it to work...

I've tried it with the following code:

	for i=1, ZO_Character:GetNumChildren() do
		equipmentSlotName = ZO_Character:GetChild(i):GetName()
		if(string.find(equipmentSlotName, "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlots")) then
			--get the control of the current equipment slot
                   equipmentControl = ZO_Character:GetChild(i)
                   d("Slotindex:" .. tostring(equipmentControl.slotIndex))
            end
       end

I get the control this way. I'm able to hide/show it. ZGOO tells me the slotIndex ist e.g. 16.
But the d() function tells me it is 0 always?

If you need just bagId, slotIndex and not the controls, use BAG_WORN and http://wiki.esoui.com/Globals#EquipSlot constants. Not sure why it tells you 0, maybe you're asking before it's initialized?

No, I'm trying to read them after a right-click with the mouse on it and choosing a new added menu item.
It works perfetcly for a single slot. But if I want to update all in a for... loop it's not working.

I need the control because another texture control is added to it (by myself) and I want to update it :-(


Argh, as I said the error was sitting in front ot the screen :-(
I used a variable name with a non-capital "i", but it should have been a capital "I" there... Now it works.

It might not be as short, but you could use the copy button on zgoo (when you /zgoo the ZO_Character window) and use the control names it gives you. Pick the ones you want, build a table & loop through it doing whatever you want to each control. Thats probably the easiest way & less things to cause problems.

local ZO_CharacterChildren = {
    [1] =   "ZO_CharacterApparelSection",
    [2] =   "ZO_CharacterPaperDoll",
    [3] =   "ZO_CharacterAccessoriesSection",
    [4] =   "ZO_CharacterWeaponsSection",
    [5] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsHead",
    [6] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsShoulder",
    [7] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsGlove",
    [8] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsLeg",
    [9] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsChest",
    [10] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsBelt",
    [11] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsFoot",
    [12] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsCostume",
    [13] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsNeck",
    [14] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsRing1",
    [15] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsRing2",
    [16] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsMainHand",
    [17] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsOffHand".
    [18] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsBackupMain",
    [19] =   "ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotsBackupOff",
    [20] =   "ZO_CharacterWeaponSwap",
    [21] =   "ZO_CharacterTitle",
}

I copy & pasted your code, it works for me.

Thx for your help.

It works now. It was my fault :-(
I had used a non-captial i inside one of my source code lines, but used a capital I later on to use the variable...
As I said before this must be some silly erro :-(

But I really appreciate all your help here in this forum! Many of your ideas and input is giving me some new ideas and inforamtion how and what can be done.
