Dwemer Motifs

[Weolo]

I have an item link to a motif.
I want to figure out if it is a dwemer motif and also which chapter it is.

Example for "Racial Motif 15, Chapter 2: Dwemer Belts"

local itemType = GetItemLinkItemType(itemLink)
if itemType == ITEMTYPE_RACIAL_STYLE_MOTIF then
  --It is a motif
  if ? == ? then
    --I am a dwemer motif
    local chapter = ?
  end
end

Anyone know how to get the type of motif and chapter from the item link?

Not sure there's an API to tell you. Only way I can think of is hard-code item ids: http://esoitem.uesp.net/viewlog.php?...l+motifs+15%22

Each dwemer motif chapter has it's own itemId.

local itemType = GetItemLinkItemType(itemLink)
if itemType == ITEMTYPE_RACIAL_STYLE_MOTIF then
  --It is a motif
  local itemId = select(4, ZO_LinkHandler_ParseLink(itemLink))
  itemId = tonumber(itemId)
 
  if itemId>=57573 and itemId<57587 then
    --I am a dwemer motif
    local chapter = itemId - 57572
  end
end

^^ Untested. Just took a look to my itemLinks.

I wrote a list of motif book item ids before I found out that you can check if a motif is already known with IsItemLinkBookKnown.

16424 -- 1: high elves
27245 -- 2: dark elves
16428 -- 3: wood elves
27244 -- 4: nords
16425 -- 5: bretons
16427 -- 6: redguard
44698 -- 7: khajiit
16426 -- 8: orcs
27246 -- 9: argonians
54868 -- 10: imperials
51638 -- 11: ancient elves
51565 -- 12: barbaric
51345 -- 13: primal
51688 -- 14: daedric
57572 -- 15: dwemer
57573 -- 15/1: dwemer axes
57574 -- 15/2: dwemer belts
57575 -- 15/3: dwemer boots
57576 -- 15/4: dwemer bows
57577 -- 15/5: dwemer chests
57578 -- 15/6: dwemer daggers
57579 -- 15/7: dwemer gloves
57580 -- 15/8: dwemer helmets
57581 -- 15/9: dwemer legs

@merlight, @votan, @sirinsidiator Thanks for the replies.

@votan thanks for showing me a way to get the itemid from the link, your methods is tidier than the one I was messing with.

@sirinsidiator I have the itemids already but I will double check the ids I have match your list.
I was planning to use IsSmithingStyleKnown(styleItemIndex, patternIndex) but I will take a look at IsItemLinkBookKnown also.

here with the "achievement id, criterion index" of the dwemer achievement (unless we got extra limbers this shouldn't move)

["1144,1"] = "57573", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 1: Dwemer Axes", ["1144,2"] = "57574", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 2: Dwemer Belts", ["1144,3"] = "57575", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 3: Dwemer Boots", ["1144,4"] = "57576", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 4: Dwemer Bows", ["1144,5"] = "57577", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 5: Dwemer Chests", ["1144,6"] = "57578", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 6: Dwemer Daggers", ["1144,7"] = "57579", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 7: Dwemer Gloves", ["1144,8"] = "57580", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 8: Dwemer Helmets", ["1144,9"] = "57581", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 9: Dwemer Legs", ["1144,10"] = "57582", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 10: Dwemer Maces", ["1144,11"] = "57583", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 11: Dwemer Shields", ["1144,12"] = "57584", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 12: Dwemer Shoulders", ["1144,13"] = "57585", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 13: Dwemer Staves", ["1144,14"] = "57586", --"Racial Motifs 15, Chapter 14: Dwemer Swords",

not sure if you can still use the dwemer style if you learn it at lvl 9 of the skill then downgrade your skills. So maybe (just maybe) you'd need both checks : is book known and skill lvl, if you wanna test if the style is available. which makes your idea IsSmithingStyleKnown(styleItemIndex, patternIndex) more reliable. (Except if you can't get the pattern info outside the crafting station :/)
