Get the enchanting of an item

[Baertram]

Hey there,

I'm trying to read the information of the used enchanting on a weapon/armor by help of the ZOs function ZO_LinkHandlerParseLink().

Curently I've tried the following:

local _, _, _, itemEnchantment, enchantPower1, enchantPower2 = ZO_LinkHandler_ParseLink(itemLink)

I'm not quite sure if the argument #4 is the correct one here? I read about it here:
http://www.esoui.com/forums/showthre...dler_ParseLink
->
http://wiki.esoui.com/ZO_LinkHandler_CreateLink

I get some values like 50572 or 43535 (even for an item that got no enchantment).

can anyone help me by chance and tell me how I can use the function ZO_LinkHandlerParseLink(itemLink) to get the enchantment on a weapon/armor the correct way?
Thanks a lot

Oh I just missunderstood the format of the itemLink as it seems?

I guess I need to use the variable at the offset 8 then, instead of 4, as the first 4 are already fixed?
--name, color, type, id, +21 other attributes

if (itemType == ITEMTYPE_WEAPON) then
 
    local haveenchantcharges = DoesItemLinkHaveEnchantCharges(itemLink)
    if haveenchantcharges then
        local maxenchantcharges = GetItemLinkMaxEnchantCharges(itemLink)
    end
 
elseif (itemType == ITEMTYPE_ARMOR) then
 
    -- Enchant desc
    local hasEnchant, enchantHeader, enchantDescription = GetItemLinkEnchantInfo(itemLink)
    
    if hasEnchant == true then
        -- enchantHeader & enchantDescription are ~= nil and can be exploited
    end
    
end

Thx Ayantir,

I didn't find these functions in the ESOUI sources.

Question:
I wasn't able to test it so far, but can I use GetItemLinkEnchantInfo(itemLink) for ITEMTYPE_WEAPON too?
I'm asking because I don't need the "enchant charges" but the info IF it is enchanted and WHICH enchantment is used so I can compare the same weapon with different levels, enchantments and qualities.

It works on both, weapons and armor.
For example

GetItemLinkEnchantInfo("|H1:item:54917:252:50:45869:276:50:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:27:0:1:0:36:0|h|h") -- [Sword of the Two-Fanged Snake]

returns

true, "Decrease Health Enchantment", "Deals |cffffff367|r unresistable damage."

The method is used in ingame/tooltips/itemtooltips.lua:246.

Thanks for the proof.
