Q: How to get item's bag-slot-number?

[kkulesza]

I know i have an item my backpack.
I know its name and ID.
I need the backpack slot number of this item to use it in the PickupItem(slotID) function.
Can i do it in rombot or ingame macro easily?

I didn't find any existing function that returns items slot.
So i wrote my own (edited some existing func)
I put it in the userfunctions folder and it works fine.
But is this userfunction neccessary?
Is there a simpler way?

Code: Select all

function CInventory:findItemSlot( itemNameOrId, range)
	local first, last = getInventoryRange(range) -- get bag slot range
	if first == nil then
		first , last = 1, 240 -- default, search all
	end

	local smallestStack = nil
	local itemslot = nil
	self:update()

	for slot = first, last do
		item = inventory.BagSlot[slot]
 	    if item.Available and (item.Name == itemNameOrId or item.Id == itemNameOrId) then
			if item.ItemCount > 1 then
				-- find smallest stack
				if smallestStack == nil or smallestStack.ItemCount > item.ItemCount then
					smallestStack = item
					itemslot = slot
				end
			else
				return slot
			end
		end;
	end;

	return itemslot
end

Something like this will work

Code: Select all

local item = inventory:findItem("itemname")
if item ~= nil then
RoMScript("PickupItem("..item.SlotNumber..")")
end

Obviously change "itemname" to the actual item name or id

Something to remember is the game has a messed up system and uses 1-30 for bag 1 and also uses 61-90 for bag 1, depending which in game function you are using.
So you may need to play around with it to get the correct values for what you are doing.

I can never remember which is which for that, it's just a stupid system.

I did my homework earlier
I've tried the inventory:findItem() func, but it doesnt return a slot number.
It returns some table instead of integer

Similar problem, so I thought I'd post it here instead of opening up a new topic.

I need to use cleanbag in a few of my WP's, and would like to activate it if I have less than, say, 10 spaces left. I assume that it's fairly easy, but I'm not sure how to do it. Something percent-based would also work (there's the same thing in XBar addon - shows you how much spaces you have filled, your max slot count, and then shows how much % is filled with items).

Any hint would be appeciated.

If you look at Lisas example it uses "item.SlotNumber". Yes "item" is a table, of values of information about the item returned. ".SlotNumber" is one of the bits of information about that item.

If you look at Lisas example it uses "item.SlotNumber"...

My mistake.
Thx for pointig it rock5.

Nope. That is totaly different problem. I was looking for Slot number-ID. You are looking for a number of free slots.
Hint 4 U: search the forum for this phrase: "inventory:itemTotalCount"

Get yourself a programme like notepad++
Anytime I want to use anything I do a search in files for the function and look at the existing code as an example.

A search for "inventory:findItem(" reveals eggpet.lua

Code: Select all

local foodItem = inventory:findItem(foodNameOrId)

a couple of lines later it has

Code: Select all

RoMScript("PickupBagItem("..foodItem.BagId..")")

You can look at classes/item.lua for what information you can get from the table.

Code: Select all

		self.BaseItemAddress = nil;
		self.Empty = true;
		self.Id = 0;
		--self.BagId = bagId;
		self.Name = "<EMPTY>";
		self.ItemCount = 0;
		self.Color = "ffffff";
		self.SlotNumber = slotnumber
		self.Icon = "";
		self.ItemLink = "|Hitem:33BF1|h|cff0000ff[Empty]|r|h";
		self.Durability = 0;
		self.MaxDurability = 0;
		self.Quality = 0; -- 0 = white / 1 = green / 2 = blue / 3 = purple / 4 = orange / 5 = gold
		self.Value = 0;
		self.Worth = 0;
		self.InUse = false;
		self.BoundStatus = 1; -- 0 = bound on pickup, 1 = not bound, 2 = binds on equip 3 = binds on equip and bound
		self.RequiredLvl = 0;
		self.CoolDownTime = 0;
		self.LastTimeUsed = 0;
		self.MaxStack = 0;
		self.ObjType = 0;
		self.ObjSubType = 0;
		self.ObjSubSubType = 0;
		self.Stats = {}; -- list of named stats and their ids.

self.* is all that matters
so
self.Worth
self.Stats
self.Name
self.SlotNumber
and so on.

So with the code I posted earlier you can take it further and do
item.Worth
item.Stats
item.Name
item.SlotNumber
and so on.

Hope that clears things up for you =)
