{{wowapi}} Returns information about the player's specializations. local id, name, description, icon, background, role = GetSpecializationInfo(specIndex [, isInspect [, isPet [, ? [, genderCode]]]]) == Arguments == ;specIndex : Number - Index of the specialization to query, ascending from 1 to {{api|GetNumSpecializations}}(). ;isInspect : Optional boolean - If true, query specialization information for the inspected unit. ;isPet : Optional boolean - If true, query specialization information for the player's pet. ;genderCode : Number - Index returned by {{Api|UnitSex}}(). == Returns == ;id : Number - [[specializationID]]. ;name : String - specialization name, e.g. "Balance". ;description : String - description of the specialization, e.g. "Can take on the form of a powerful Moonkin, balancing the power of Arcane and Nature magic to destroy enemies at a distance." ;icon : String - Texture path to this specialization's icon. ;background : String - Background texture name for this talent tree; prepend "Interface\TALENTFRAME\" to this value for a valid texture path. ;role : String - This specialization's intended role in a party, one of "DAMAGER", "TANK", "HEALER". == Details == * Despite the argument names, this function does not appear to return valid information for inspected units. FrameXML uses {{api|GetInspectSpecialization}}("unit") to retrieve a specialization ID instead. ** ''Warning: As of 2012/07/12, this seems to be quite often buggy. The return of GetInspectSpecialization() should be a number less than 500, but sometimes is far greater and not interpretable. FrameXML is therefore 'validating' the value by calling GetSpecializationRoleByID(), and only if that returns a non-nil value, it decodes the number with GetSpecializationInfoByID(). == Patch history == {{Patch 5.0.4|note=Replaced {{api|GetTalentTabInfo}}.}} == See also == * {{api|GetActiveSpecGroup}} * {{api|SetActiveSpecGroup}} * {{api|GetNumSpecGroups}} * {{api|GetSpecialization}} * {{api|GetNumUnspentTalents}} * {{api|GetNumSpecializations}} * {{api|GetSpecializationRole}} * {{api|t=e|ACTIVE_TALENT_GROUP_CHANGED}}
