GetItemLinkInfo - need help for LootDrop

[Flagrick]

Hello,

Loot drop is using

local icon, _, _, _, _ = GetItemLinkInfo( itemName )

with the event

self.control:RegisterForEvent( EVENT_LOOT_RECEIVED, function( _, ... ) self:OnItemLooted( ... )    end )

But sometimes, icon information is missing.
(In fact alway when it's a quest item that is looted)

for the moment the workaround is

    if ( not icon or icon == '' ) then
        icon = [[/esoui/art/icons/icon_missing.dds]]
    end

How could have i the icon name ?
There is an icon im my bag, so how should i do to take it with the loot event ?

There are several ways to get link, like GetQuestRewardItemLink(). You can try this.

hello,
and thx for the reply.

The events parameters are these

EVENT_LOOT_RECEIVED (string receivedBy, string itemName, integer quantity, integer itemSound, integer lootType, bool self)

in case of quest item, then lootType = LOOT_TYPE_QUEST_ITEM
ok
but how could i use these parameters to link with

GetQuestRewardItemLink(luaindex rewardIndex, LinkStyle linkStyle)
Returns: string link

and what are

• rewardIndex
• linkStyle

You need to distinguish two cases!

The first one are items that are part of the quest, you know: Gather 4 garblknorps. For the garblknorps you have the LOOT_TYPE_QUEST_ITEM set. The second part are items as reward. Those come up as normal LOOT_TYPE_ITEM event!

Well, rewardIndex is the index for which quest reward you are asking information. A quest might reward more than one thing, e.g. one or more items, a skill point or whatever. For most quests (that I have encountered so far) it seems there's only one item reward, i.e. rewardIndex = 1 will be your friend.

About linkStyle: There are two ways item links can be returned, check the wiki.

"[This is a fancy item]" -- LINK_STYLE_BRACKETS
"This is a fancy item" -- LINK_STYLE_DEFAULT

After this event

EVENT_LOOT_RECEIVED (string receivedBy, string itemName, integer quantity, integer itemSound, integer lootType, bool self)

I have try something like that

if (lootType == LOOT_TYPE_ITEM) then
  EasyFind(...)
end
elseif (lootType == LOOT_TYPE_QUEST_ITEM) then
  HardQuestFind(...)
end

in EasyFind() i'm using loot info or, if it's not enough to get icon, bag info.
in HardQuestFind(), not yet implemented,
is there a way to avoid the management and monitoring of quests.
I think that is a bit heavy to only have the icon, right?

I have somewhat similar problem. In my add-on I have a little code which just prints the loot to the chat with d().

That event gives us itemName, it is cool. But I wasn't able to link it to any other function, in order to get the quality of it. Same goes for the icon, I mean both the quality and the icon, you can get via GetLootItemInfo(), but I have no clue how to obtain the lootId.
