GetItemLinkInfo - need help for LootDrop

Flagrick · 04/17/14, 09:40 AM

Hello,

Loot drop is using

Code:

local icon, _, _, _, _ = GetItemLinkInfo( itemName )

with the event

Code:

self.control:RegisterForEvent( EVENT_LOOT_RECEIVED, function( _, ... ) self:OnItemLooted( ... )    end )

But sometimes, icon information is missing.
(In fact alway when it's a quest item that is looted)

for the moment the workaround is

Code:

    if ( not icon or icon == '' ) then
        icon = [[/esoui/art/icons/icon_missing.dds]]
    end

How could have i the icon name ?
There is an icon im my bag, so how should i do to take it with the loot event ?

There are several ways to get link, like GetQuestRewardItemLink(). You can try this.

hello,
and thx for the reply.

The events parameters are these

Code:

EVENT_LOOT_RECEIVED (string receivedBy, string itemName, integer quantity, integer itemSound, integer lootType, bool self)

in case of quest item, then lootType = LOOT_TYPE_QUEST_ITEM
ok
but how could i use these parameters to link with

Code:

GetQuestRewardItemLink(luaindex rewardIndex, LinkStyle linkStyle)
Returns: string link

and what are

rewardIndex
linkStyle

You need to distinguish two cases!

The first one are items that are part of the quest, you know: Gather 4 garblknorps. For the garblknorps you have the LOOT_TYPE_QUEST_ITEM set. The second part are items as reward. Those come up as normal LOOT_TYPE_ITEM event!

Well, rewardIndex is the index for which quest reward you are asking information. A quest might reward more than one thing, e.g. one or more items, a skill point or whatever. For most quests (that I have encountered so far) it seems there's only one item reward, i.e. rewardIndex = 1 will be your friend.

About linkStyle: There are two ways item links can be returned, check the wiki.

Code:

"[This is a fancy item]" -- LINK_STYLE_BRACKETS
"This is a fancy item" -- LINK_STYLE_DEFAULT

After this event

Code:

EVENT_LOOT_RECEIVED (string receivedBy, string itemName, integer quantity, integer itemSound, integer lootType, bool self)

I have try something like that

Code:

if (lootType == LOOT_TYPE_ITEM) then
  EasyFind(...)
end
elseif (lootType == LOOT_TYPE_QUEST_ITEM) then
  HardQuestFind(...)
end

in EasyFind() i'm using loot info or, if it's not enough to get icon, bag info.
in HardQuestFind(), not yet implemented,
is there a way to avoid the management and monitoring of quests.
I think that is a bit heavy to only have the icon, right?

lyravega · 05/01/14, 04:35 AM

I have somewhat similar problem. In my add-on I have a little code which just prints the loot to the chat with d().

That event gives us itemName, it is cool. But I wasn't able to link it to any other function, in order to get the quality of it. Same goes for the icon, I mean both the quality and the icon, you can get via GetLootItemInfo(), but I have no clue how to obtain the lootId.

Flagrick · 05/01/14, 05:33 AM

I think there is something to do with it

Code:

EVENT_QUEST_TOOL_UPDATED (luaindex journalIndex, string questName)

we have journalIndex.

then, perhaps, we could find the questTool info with a loop on toolindex (0 to 10 for example)

Code:

GetQuestToolInfo(luaindex journalQuestIndex, luaindex toolIndex)
Returns: string iconFilename, integer stackCount, bool isUsable, string name

then a comparison on name could do the job to be sure we've got our quest item

I will try it.

Thx,
but i search to easily find icon quest tool info, and not the quest rewards.

As i said before it is done.

Code:

if (lootType == LOOT_TYPE_ITEM) then
  EasyFind(...)
end
elseif (lootType == LOOT_TYPE_QUEST_ITEM) then
  HardQuestFind(...)
end

in EasyFind() i'm using loot info or, if it's not enough to get icon, bag info.

For the second part the tools item quest i have used

Code:

EVENT_QUEST_TOOL_UPDATED (luaindex journalIndex, string questName)

but it seems to do nothing for my purpose.
But i will perssist ;-)

next step, i will test

Code:

EVENT_QUEST_CONDITION_COUNTER_CHANGED (luaindex journalIndex, string questName, string conditionText, integer conditionType, integer currConditionVal, integer newConditionVal, integer conditionMax, bool isFailCondition, string stepOverrideText, bool isPushed, bool isComplete, bool isConditionComplete, bool isStepHidden)

Lua Code:

for i = 1,GetNumLootItems() do
     local lootID, lootName, lootIcon, lootCount, lootQuality, lootValue, lootIsQuest = GetLootItemInfo(i) 
end

end

Thx,
i have try this after an EVENT_LOOT_RECEIVED

Code:

	dbg('--GetNumLootItems--')
	local count=GetNumLootItems()
	dbg(count)
	for i = 1,count do
		local lootID, lootName, lootIcon, lootCount, lootQuality, lootValue, lootIsQuest = GetLootItemInfo(i)
		local textQuestTool, cQuestTool = self:ParseLink( lootName )
		dbg(lootName)
		dbg(lootIcon)
	end

dbg is my d(...) function ;-)

But it seems to do not work
because when i loot a quest tool item, GetNumLootItems() send me ==> 0

but EVENT_QUEST_CONDITION_COUNTER_CHANGED is always sent ...

Xrystal · 05/03/14, 02:49 PM

Hmm, guess questTools are handled differently. I always get a number when I loot and there is something there but my addon deals with crafting materials so maybe different. Will have to test that theory out on a quest that involves looting something and see if I get the same problem.

Also, I notice you are using ParseLink function but passing a name string to it. That won't work as far as I know. You would have to use the GetLootLink(lootIndex) function ( wording from memory ).

Xrystal · 05/03/14, 05:36 PM

Well, the attached is my mini test addon I use to test things out. I've got it coded to track loot interactions and displays any loot you gather however it seems that quest Items do not have links like regular items. The screenshot shows what happens when I loot quest items.

Thank you very much. I learned about that "ZO_LinkHandler_ParseLink" thanks to you

Yes that's the problem :-)

So with a loot event i could have text and quantity, but no icon, and of course, it is what i need.

With bag event i could have quest reward item but no tool quest item

This tools items are not in a bag, but in a sort of "quest manager".
for example InventoryGridView Addon doesn't handle with tools quest part in our inventory,
because there are not really in a bag.

I know to manage a sort of quest tracker, and then handle with tool quest item,
but i think it's a bit heavy to only show icon loot of tools quest item.
I'm searching a simpliest way, but perhaps there's not.

Xrystal · 05/04/14, 09:01 AM

Hmm the GetLootItemInfo should return the icon, but of course, if there isn't a link there may not be an icon associated at that time either but seeing as it is displayed in the loot window there is a chance that the icon will exist.

I didn't test the icon part as I thought the link is what you wanted. Might be worth displaying the icon and see what happens when you loot a quest item.

Flagrick · 05/04/14, 01:39 PM

I think i have found something :

i' m using these events

EVENT_QUEST_TOOL_UPDATED
EVENT_QUEST_CONDITION_COUNTER_CHANGED

and i'm saving journalIndex

Then on an event EVENT_LOOT_RECEIVED ( receivedBy, itemName, quantity, itemSound, lootType, mine )
i'm testing GetItemLinkInfo(itemName)
if i do not have icon, i m testing saved informations from bag event
and if no icon then saved information with quest event (journalIndex)

Code:

local count=GetQuestToolCount(self.journalIndex)
		for i = 0, count do
			local iconFilename, stackCount, isUsable, name = GetQuestToolInfo(self.journalIndex, i)
			if (name==text) then
				icon=iconFilename
				break;
			end
		end

text is given by EVENT_LOOT_RECEIVED
and icon is the result i will used to print a lootdrop item

So, to test i have to find a quest with tools items to collect.
if it works (or not) i will say it

Sadly, it seems, it doesn't work with this events.
But i have found something else.
I'm testing. I ll give more info later.

so, it's the code, and it seems to work except in rare case (no icon in the quest inventory with a loot event)
I'm playing this code in a loot event.
I ve got the text name of the item quest, and then i find the icon that match with the name

Code:

function LootDrop:FindAndPrintAllIconFromQuestTools(text)
	local icon=[[/esoui/art/icons/icon_missing.dds]]
	local found=false
	local countQuests=GetNumJournalQuests()
	for i = 0, countQuests do
		local countTools=GetQuestToolCount(i)
		for j = 0, countTools do
			local iconFilename, stackCount, isUsable, name = GetQuestToolInfo(i, j)
			found = (name==text)
			if (found) then
				icon=iconFilename
				break
			end
		end
		if (found) then 
			break 
		end
	end
	return icon
end
