Trading Event Items

[Argusus]

Hello,

is there a way to capture the items that are being traded when a trade is completed?

Well, you could always track the items as they're added, removed, or changed in the trade, and then record them when the trade succeeds (or clear them if the trade is cancelled). There are events that are triggered by each of these. You can get items' info using:

GetTradeItemInfo(TradeParticipant who, luaindex tradeIndex)
Returns: string name, textureName icon, integer stack, integer quality
 
GetTradeItemLink(TradeParticipant who, luaindex tradeIndex, LinkStyle linkStyle)
Returns: string link

(either one, but you can get more info from a link)

That's how I'd probably approach it, anyway.

In that case, I point you to an official forum post that has a textfile attachment containing all top-level functions, events, and UI element structs, ESOUI's wiki, and to the Zgoo add-on that lets you inspect the global namespace.
