index = GetShapeshiftForm(flag);

Parameters

Arguments

flag

Boolean (Optional) - True if return value is to be compared to a macro's conditional statement. This makes it always return zero for Presences and Auras. False or nil returns an index based on which button to highlight on the shapeshift/stance bar left to right starting at 1.

Returns

index

Number - one of following:

Any class

• 0 = humanoid form

Death Knight (only when arg1 is nil)

• 1 = Blood Presence
• 2 = Frost Presence
• 3 = Unholy Presence

Druid

• 1 = Bear/Dire Bear Form
• 2 = Aquatic Form
• 3 = Cat Form
• 4 = Travel Form
• 5 = Moonkin/Tree Form (Unless feral. If no moonkin/tree form present, (swift) flight form is form 5)
• 6 = Flight Form

Paladin (only when arg1 is nil)

• 1 = Seal of Truth
• 2 = Seal of Righteousness
• 3 = Seal of Insight - Seal of Justice if retribution
• 4 = Seal of Insight if retribution

Priest

• 1 = Shadowform

Rogue

• 1 = Stealth (3.1 - If the player has not learned the Shadow Dance talent, 1 is returned while in Stealth)
• 2 = Stealth (3.1 - If the player has learned the Shadow Dance talent, 2 is returned while in Stealth instead of 1)
• 3 = Shadow Dance (3.1 - This is used while Shadow Dance is active)

Note: This seems to have changed again in 3.2. It seems now that 1 is always stealth, and 3 is Shadow Dance. I have not done thorough testing to prove this though, so I'm leaving the 3.1 info.

Shaman

• 1 = Ghost Wolf

Warrior

• 1 = Battle Stance
• 2 = Defensive Stance
• 3 = Berserker Stance

Example

local nStance = GetShapeshiftForm();

Notes

For some classes the return value is nil during the loading process. You need to wait until UPDATE_SHAPESHIFT_FORMS fires to get correct return values.
