Alliance and Class is not a problem since I get both a localized text and a numeric type value. I use the type to lookup the icon texture in a table.
My problem: I cannot find a way to get the player's race as a numeric type. All I find is function
GetUnitRace("player") which returns the localized race. This is not really helpful because I cannot use this as an index for a table with race icon textures.
How would I manage to get the race information in a more abstract way (not only as a localized text), or is there a way to get the 64x64 race icon directly?
For illustration of the purpose of my question see attachment.

AFAIK there is no other function which you can use. You will have to stick with GetUnitRace(unitTag).
You will probably need to make a lookup table such as:
Lua Code:
-- breton = "esoui/art/charactercreate/charactercreate_bretonicon_up.dds",
-- orc = "esoui/art/charactercreate/charactercreate_orcicon_up.dds",
-- redguard = "esoui/art/charactercreate/charactercreate_redguardicon_up.dds",
-- altmer = "esoui/art/charactercreate/charactercreate_altmericon_up.dds",
-- bosmer = "esoui/art/charactercreate/charactercreate_bosmericon_up.dds",
-- kajiit = "esoui/art/charactercreate/charactercreate_khajiiticon_up.dds",
-- argonian = "esoui/art/charactercreate/charactercreate_argonianicon_up.dds",
-- dunmer = "esoui/art/charactercreate/charactercreate_dunmericon_up.dds",
-- nord = "esoui/art/charactercreate/charactercreate_nordicon_up.dds",
-- imperial = "esoui/art/charactercreate/charactercreate_imperialicon_up.dds",
local raceTable = {
["Breton"] = "breton",
["Bretone"] = "breton", --de, male
["Bretonin"] = "breton", --de, female
["Bréton"] = "breton", --fr, male
["Brétonne"] = "breton", --fr, female
["Orc"] = "orc",
["Ork"] = "orc", --de, male/female
["Orque"] = "orc", --fr, male/female
["Redguard"] = "redguard",
["Rothwardone"] = "redguard", --de, male
["Rothwardonin"] = "redguard", --de, female
["Rougegarde"] = "redguard", --fr, male/female
["High Elf"] = "altmer",
["Hochelf"] = "altmer", --de, male
["Hochelfin"] = "altmer", --de, female
["Haut-Elfe"] = "altmer", --fr, male
["Haute-Elfe"] = "altmer", --fr, female
["Wood Elf"] = "bosmer",
["Waldelf"] = "bosmer", --de, male
["Waldelfin"] = "bosmer", --de, female
["Elfe des bois"] = "bosmer", --fr, male/female
["Khajiit"] = "khajiit",
["Argonian"] = "argonian",
["Argonier"] = "argonian", --de, male
["Argonierin"] = "argonian", --de, female
["Argonien"] = "argonian", --fr, male
["Argonienne"] = "argonian", --fr, female
["Dark Elf"] = "dunmer",
["Dunkelelf"] = "dunmer", --de, male
["Dunkelelfin"] = "dunmer", --de, female
["Elfe Noir"] = "dunmer", --fr, male
["Elfe Noire"] = "dunmer", --fr, female
["Nord"] = "nord",
["Nordique"] = "nord", --fr, male/female
["Imperial"] = "imperial",
["Kaiserlicher"] = "imperial", --de, male
["Kaiserliche"] = "imperial", --de, female
["Impérial"] = "imperial", --fr, male
["Impériale"] = "imperial", --fr, female
}
local race = zo_strformat(SI_RACE_NAME, GetUnitRace("player"))
local raceCode = raceTable[race]
local texture = "esoui/art/charactercreate/charactercreate_" .. raceCode .. "icon_up.dds"
d(texture)
Linear Mode
