is bow equiped? (not bot releated)

[lolita]

im making function for my Rogue/Scout to swap beetwin bow and arrows and projectiles,
i found only this API on romwiki

Code: Select all

API:GetEquipSlotInfo
/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(GetEquipSlotInfo(11))

if bow or crossbow is equiped this return "interface\CharacterFrame\Equipment-RangedSlot", else nil
i tryed

Code: Select all

function arrow_knife()
	local bow = GetEquipSlotInfo(11)
	if bow == "interface\CharacterFrame\Equipment-RangedSlot" then
		EquipItem(11) -- unequip bow
		UseItemByName("Stone") -- equip projectiles
		SendSystemMsg("|H|h|cff00FF00PROJECTILES EQUIPED|h")
	else
      EquipItem(10) -- unequip projectiles
		UseItemByName("Rune War Bow") -- equip bow
		UseItemByName("Obsidian Arrow") -- equip arrows
		SendSystemMsg("|H|h|cff00FF00RANGED WEAPON EQUIPED|h")
	end
end

but dont want to swap,
any idea?

They are in game functions so you need to use RoMScripts. This should work.

Code: Select all

function arrow_knife()
   local bow = RoMScript("GetEquipSlotInfo(11)")
   if bow == "interface\\CharacterFrame\\Equipment-RangedSlot" then
      RoMScript("EquipItem(11)") -- unequip bow
      RoMScript('UseItemByName("Stone")') -- equip projectiles
      RoMScript('SendSystemMsg("|H|h|cff00FF00PROJECTILES EQUIPED|h")')
   else
      RoMScript('UseItemByName("Obsidian Arrow")') -- equip arrows
      RoMScript('UseItemByName("Rune War Bow")') -- equip bow
      RoMScript('SendSystemMsg("|H|h|cff00FF00RANGED WEAPON EQUIPED|h")')
   end
end

Note: you don't need to unequip the Stones if yo equip the arrows before the bow.

I would do a few things differently, though. I would use variables for the bow, arrows and knives so you would have less issues with special characters in the names such as '. And I would have the function accept a variable to make sure it equips the right items. Something like

Code: Select all

function arrow_knife(choice)
	local bow = "Rune War Bow"
	local arrows = "Obsidian Arrow"
	local knife = "Stone"

	local bowslot = RoMScript("GetEquipSlotInfo(11)")
	if bowslot == "interface\\CharacterFrame\\Equipment-RangedSlot" then
		if choice == "arrow" then	-- Already equiped
			return
		end
		RoMScript("EquipItem(11)") -- unequip bow
		RoMScript('UseItemByName("'..knife..'")') -- equip projectiles
		RoMScript('SendSystemMsg("|H|h|cff00FF00PROJECTILES EQUIPED|h")')
	else
		if choice == "knife" then	-- Already equiped
			return
		end
		RoMScript('UseItemByName("'..arrows..'")') -- equip arrows
		RoMScript('UseItemByName("'..bow..'")') -- equip bow
		RoMScript('SendSystemMsg("|H|h|cff00FF00RANGED WEAPON EQUIPED|h")')
	end
end

yes rock, i know it's in game functions, cose i want to use it in game while manualy playing, not with bot.
i should write that to, my bad
but you helped my anyway.
i was useing bowslot == "interface\CharacterFrame\Equipment-RangedSlot"
but it should be bowslot == "interface\\CharacterFrame\\Equipment-RangedSlot"
here is code, if anyone need it

Code: Select all

function arrow_knife()
	local bow = "Rune War Bow" 		-- change name of ranged weapon
	local arrows = "Obsidian Arrow" -- change name of arrows
	local knife = "Stone" 			-- change name of projectiles
	local bowslot = GetEquipSlotInfo(11)
	
	if bowslot == "interface\\CharacterFrame\\Equipment-RangedSlot" then
		EquipItem(11) -- unequip bow
		UseItemByName(knife) -- equip projectiles
		SendSystemMsg("|H|h|cff00FF00PROJECTILES EQUIPED|h")
	else
		UseItemByName(arrows)-- equip arrows
		UseItemByName(bow) -- equip bow
		SendSystemMsg("|H|h|cff00FF00RANGED WEAPON EQUIPED|h")
	end
end

Hm... how would you use it as a function in game? Put it in an addon? Maybe you should mention that for those who haven't got a clue.

Also you should be able to just put it in a macro like this,

Code: Select all

   local bow = "Rune War Bow"       -- change name of ranged weapon
   local arrows = "Obsidian Arrow" -- change name of arrows
   local knife = "Stone"          -- change name of projectiles
   local bowslot = GetEquipSlotInfo(11)
   
   if bowslot == "interface\\CharacterFrame\\Equipment-RangedSlot" then
      EquipItem(11) -- unequip bow
      UseItemByName(knife) -- equip projectiles
      SendSystemMsg("|H|h|cff00FF00PROJECTILES EQUIPED|h")
   else
      UseItemByName(arrows)-- equip arrows
      UseItemByName(bow) -- equip bow
      SendSystemMsg("|H|h|cff00FF00RANGED WEAPON EQUIPED|h")
   end

yes , ill use it as a part of addon, and just use macro

Code: Select all

/script arrow_knife()

i think code you posted, is to long for macro

[lisa]

this is 250 characters, 255 is max.

Code: Select all

/script if GetEquipSlotInfo(11) == "interface\\CharacterFrame\\Equipment-RangedSlot" then EquipItem(11) UseItemByName("Stone") SendSystemMsg("PROJECTILES") else UseItemByName("Obsidian Arrow") UseItemByName("Rune War Bow”) SendSystemMsg("RANGED") end

If you took out the SendSystemMsg prints you could fit in more code.
