looking to getCraftedAbilityScriptId"

[sinnereso]

I'm working on my junk manager and would like to crate an option to junk known scripts. So far its all written and ready to go except I cant for the life of me determine if a looted script is known.

This function would be ideal :
IsCraftedAbilityScriptUnlocked(*integer* _craftedAbilityScriptId_)

except I can't find a function to "getCraftedAbilityScriptId()" in the API notes.

Any suggestions?

Moved the thread to the correct forum.

Did you check the tutorials forum, current API version thread? I think ZOsDanBatson posted some Infos there.

And Gelmir recently showed a way to get scribing scripts information into a table, so maybe you will find some info in this code block.

function MapScribables()
    local scribables = {}
    local numCraftedAbilities = GetNumCraftedAbilities();
    for i = 1, numCraftedAbilities do
        scribables[i] = {}
        local craftedAbilityId = GetCraftedAbilityIdAtIndex(i)
        for j = SCRIBING_SLOT_ITERATION_BEGIN, SCRIBING_SLOT_ITERATION_END do
            scribables[i][j] = {}
            local numScripts = GetNumScriptsInSlotForCraftedAbility(craftedAbilityId, j)
            for k = 1, numScripts do
                local scriptDefId = GetScriptIdAtSlotIndexForCraftedAbility(craftedAbilityId, j, k)
                table.insert(scribables[i][j], {
                    CraftedAbilityId = craftedAbilityId,
                    CraftedAbilityName = GetCraftedAbilityDisplayName(craftedAbilityId),
                    ScribingSlot = j,
                    ScriptId = scriptDefId,
                    ScriptIndex = k,
                    ScriptName = GetCraftedAbilityScriptDisplayName(scriptDefId),
                    ScriptGeneralDescription = GetCraftedAbilityScriptGeneralDescription(scriptDefId),
                    ScriptDescription = GetCraftedAbilityScriptDescription(craftedAbilityId, scriptDefId),
                    ScriptIcon = GetCraftedAbilityScriptIcon(scriptDefId),
                    ScriptAcquireHint = GetCraftedAbilityScriptAcquireHint(scriptDefId),
                })
            end
        end
    end
 
    return scribables
end

Also check how other addns do the tarcking of known/unknown scripts, like this one:

Please provide proper credit (in your code/addon description) if you spy/use their code

I went through the current api documentation only.. ill check the other stuff now ty

[ZOS_DanBatson]

If GetItemLinkItemUseType returns ITEM_USE_TYPE_CRAFTED_ABILITY_SCRIPT, then GetItemLinkItemUseReferenceId will return the script id. For example, the tooltip layout code in gamepad:

function ZO_Tooltip:LayoutCraftedAbilityScriptItem(itemLink, itemName, tradeBoPData)
    local isItemUseTypeCraftedAbilityScript = GetItemLinkItemUseType(itemLink) == ITEM_USE_TYPE_CRAFTED_ABILITY_SCRIPT
    local craftedAbilityScriptId = isItemUseTypeCraftedAbilityScript and GetItemLinkItemUseReferenceId(itemLink) or 0
    local craftedAbilityScriptData = SCRIBING_DATA_MANAGER:GetCraftedAbilityScriptData(craftedAbilityScriptId)
    local isUnlocked = craftedAbilityScriptData:IsUnlocked()
    ...

I would of course but I'm hoping to find the api function and do my own thing.

TY i might be able to work with this..

EDIT... a modified version of this worked perfectly for my needs ty

An api function like "GetCraftedAbilityScriptId(itemLink)" or something would make it super easy

[ZOS_DanBatson]

As a general rule we don't make APIs that do what other APIs can already do. For example, we don't have GetCollectibleNameFromLink and GetCollectibleDescriptionFromLink and IsCollectibleLockedByLink etc, because you can get the collectible id, and from the id you can access dozens of collectible APIs. The alternative would be a maintenance nightmare. In this case there could be dozens of different kinds of ids that could have reference from on use types, and I wouldn't want to have to keep adding more and more APIs every time we add a new onUse type when it does exactly the same thing.

Ya that makes sense.. just thought I'd suggest it as there appeared to be no way to aquire the "craftedAbilityScriptId" via functions listed in the API notes at all. Several requires it but none provide it so I thought it may have been missing. I'm not a professional so I'm just fumbling my way through trying to ask these guys for assistance as little as possible =p

[Baertram]

A good way (best practice) is, if you found out how to do it, share your code at the Wiki's "Howto" section:


Maybe create a new headline "Scribing" and then a new page for "Get CraftedAbilityScriptId from itemlink"

That helps us all, thank you
