function: loadSkillInfo

[Mr_Negative]

I'm trying to get the info needed to make this use the Vampire skill (Mesmerize) but can't get it to work, can someone help, where do I find all the info reguarding the skill. like skillType = 3, skillLine = 2 or ability_vampire_001.

l.loadSkillInfo = function()
  if not IsPlayerActivated() then return end
  l.rmSkillInfo = nil
  l.progressionIndexToSkillInfo = {}
 
  for skillType = 3, GetNumSkillTypes() do
    for skillLine = 2, GetNumSkillLines(skillType) do
      for abilityIndex = 3, math.min(7, GetNumAbilities(skillType, skillLine)) do
        local abilityId = GetSkillAbilityId(skillType, skillLine, abilityIndex, false)
        local abilityName, texture, earnedRank, passive, ultimate, purchased, progressionIndex, rankIndex =
            GetSkillAbilityInfo(skillType, skillLine, abilityIndex)
        
        local info = {
          skillType = skillType,
          skillLine = skillLine,
          abilityIndex = abilityIndex,
          abilityId = abilityId,
          abilityName = abilityName,
          progressionIndex = progressionIndex,
        }
 
        if string.find(texture, 'ability_vampire_001', 1, true) then
          l.rmSkillInfo = info
        elseif progressionIndex then
          l.progressionIndexToSkillInfo[progressionIndex] = info
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

Trying to make stage 4 vampirism a little less of a hastle.

Moved the thread to the proper forum.
Please encapsulate code blocks with the [ code ][ /code ] or [ highlight="Lua" ][ /highlight ] (no spaces!) so one can better read it.
Simply mark the text you want to have as code/lua highlight and then press the button "#" or "(small blue ball with lua)" in the editor icon row above the text edit field.

I'm a total novice sorry about all the edits.

When like this I get caltrops if I change the ability_ava_001 back to the origonal ability_ava_002 I get rapid maneuver, I'm still messing with it here hoping I can work it out

l.loadSkillInfo -- #()->()
= function()
  if not IsPlayerActivated() then return end
  l.rmSkillInfo = nil
  l.progressionIndexToSkillInfo = {}
  for skillType = 1, GetNumSkillTypes() do
    for skillLine = 1, GetNumSkillLines(skillType) do
      for abilityIndex = 1, math.min(7, GetNumAbilities(skillType, skillLine)) do
        local abilityId = GetSkillAbilityId(skillType, skillLine, abilityIndex, false)
        local abilityName,texture,earnedRank,passive,ultimate,purchased,progressionIndex,rankIndex =
          GetSkillAbilityInfo(skillType, skillLine, abilityIndex)
        local info = {
          skillType = skillType,
          skillLine = skillLine,
          abilityIndex = abilityIndex,
          abilityId = abilityId,
          abilityName = abilityName,
          progressionIndex = progressionIndex,
        }--#SkillInfo
        if string.find(texture,'ability_ava_001',1,true) then
          l.rmSkillInfo = info
        elseif progressionIndex then
          l.progressionIndexToSkillInfo[progressionIndex] = info
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

I have been searching for some time as to what the skillType, skillLine and abilityIndex would be for vampire but had no luck.

Got it!

l.loadSkillInfo -- #()->()
= function()
  if not IsPlayerActivated() then return end
  l.rmSkillInfo = nil
  l.progressionIndexToSkillInfo = {}
  for skillType = 1, GetNumSkillTypes() do
    for skillLine = 1, GetNumSkillLines(skillType) do
      for abilityIndex = 1, math.min(7, GetNumAbilities(skillType, skillLine)) do
        local abilityId = GetSkillAbilityId(skillType, skillLine, abilityIndex, false)
        local abilityName,texture,earnedRank,passive,ultimate,purchased,progressionIndex,rankIndex =
          GetSkillAbilityInfo(skillType, skillLine, abilityIndex)
        local info = {
          skillType = skillType,
          skillLine = skillLine,
          abilityIndex = abilityIndex,
          abilityId = abilityId,
          abilityName = abilityName,
          progressionIndex = progressionIndex,
        }--#SkillInfo
        if string.find(texture,'ability_u26_vampire_04',1,true) then
          l.rmSkillInfo = info
        elseif progressionIndex then
          l.progressionIndexToSkillInfo[progressionIndex] = info
        end
      end
    end
  end
end
