How to determine if an equipment is comapnion equipment or not?

[cyxui]

Item type/specialized item type of companion equipment are exactly the same as player equipment. So is equip type. Whats the best way to distinguish between the two besides looking for the word "Companion" in the item name?

You might be able to use ZO_ItemFilterUtils.IsCompanionSlotInItemTypeDisplayCategoryAndSubcategory

Once again, Baer to the rescue

I also was using the text search approach, didn't know about this but the following code seems to work and is much nicer than what I had:

 local numSlots = GetBagSize(BAG_BACKPACK)
 for bSlot = 1, numSlots do

   -- Look up item info
   local link  = GetItemLink(BAG_BACKPACK, bSlot)

   if link then -- (Hi siri...)
         if GetItemLinkActorCategory(link) == GAMEPLAY_ACTOR_CATEGORY_COMPANION then
              d("Found a companion item: " .. link);
         end -- if GILAC == 1
    end -- if link ! nil
  end -- bSlot loop
