Get the weapon/armor type of an item

[Todo]

Hello everyone,

(First forgive me for my english ,it's not my native language )
I just have a question about the information we have on an item.

I use this two functions

GetItemInfo(integer bagId, integer slotIndex)
Returns: textureName icon, integer stack, integer sellPrice, bool meetsUsageRequirement, bool locked, integer equipType, integer itemStyle, integer quality

GetItemType(integer bagId, integer slotIndex)
Returns: ItemType itemType

Neither of boths returns parameters could give me the information about the type the item.
I only have the global type (1 hand weapon, 2 hand weapon, boots, head etc...)
I wanted to know if there is a way to get the precise type of an item. According to the Globals in the API there is such a group :

http://wiki.esoui.com/Globals#WeaponType
WeaponType
WEAPONTYPE_AXE
WEAPONTYPE_BOW
WEAPONTYPE_DAGGER
WEAPONTYPE_FIRE_STAFF
WEAPONTYPE_FROST_STAFF
WEAPONTYPE_HAMMER
WEAPONTYPE_HEALING_STAFF
WEAPONTYPE_LIGHTNING_STAFF
WEAPONTYPE_NONE
WEAPONTYPE_RUNE
WEAPONTYPE_SHIELD
WEAPONTYPE_SWORD
WEAPONTYPE_TWO_HANDED_AXE
WEAPONTYPE_TWO_HANDED_HAMMER
WEAPONTYPE_TWO_HANDED_SWORD

And there is the same for the Armor to know if the armor is light/medium/heavy.
I wish there is a function that return that type or a way to obtain it.

Thank you in advance guys

For weapon types, I had to resort to grabbing that info out of the file path to the icon texture. Here's hoping that ZOS sticks with that method...

That's exactly what I thought I would do if there is anything possible.
I hope they will fix it soon

I will do the same with armor type (light/medium/heavy) with the path to the icon .dds

function TNAL.GetArmorType(bagId,slotId)
    local icon = GetItemInfo(bagId,slotId)
    if (string.find(icon, "heavy")) then
      return ARMORTYPE_HEAVY
    elseif string.find(icon,"medium") then
        return ARMORTYPE_MEDIUM
    elseif string.find(icon,"light") then
        return ARMORTYPE_LIGHT
    else
        return ARMORTYPE_NONE
    end
end
 
function TNAL.GetWeaponType(bagId,slotId)
    local icon = GetItemInfo(bagId,slotId)
    
    if (string.find(icon, "1hsword")) then
      return WEAPONTYPE_SWORD
    elseif string.find(icon,"2hsword") then
        return WEAPONTYPE_TWO_HANDED_SWORD
    elseif string.find(icon,"1haxe") then
        return WEAPONTYPE_AXE
    elseif string.find(icon,"2haxe") then
        return WEAPONTYPE_TWO_HANDED_AXE
    elseif string.find(icon,"1hhammer") then
        return WEAPONTYPE_HAMMER
    elseif string.find(icon,"2hhammer") then
        return WEAPONTYPE_TWO_HANDED_HAMMER
    elseif string.find(icon,"dagger") then
        return WEAPONTYPE_DAGGER
    elseif string.find(icon,"shield") then
        return WEAPONTYPE_SHIELD
    elseif string.find(icon,"bow") then
        return WEAPONTYPE_BOW
    elseif string.find(icon,"staff") then
        return WEAPONTYPE_FIRE_STAFF
    else
        return WEAPONTYPE_NONE
    end
end

The two functions I made. No way to distinguish between staves it seems so I defaulted to fire staff for all
