WoW:Item equipping

Basics

/script PickupContainerItem(bag, slot)

The basic command. Works like this:

• If no item in cursor:
  • If item in bag:slot - picks up the item and puts it on the cursor.
  • If no item in bag:slot - does nothing
• If item on cursor
  • If item in bag:slot - switches the item in the bag:slot with the one on the cursor.
  • If no item in bag:slot - puts down item from cursor into bag:slot

/script PickupInventoryItem(inventorySlot)

Picks up/puts down/switches item into the specified slot.

See InventorySlots for ids and mappings.

Better method:

/script UseContainerItem(bag, slot);

Will automatically equip the item referenced by bag,slot, placing any existing already equipped item in the bag slot.

Multiple commands

There is a problem when executing multiple Pickup commands because they execute instantaneously on your client, which is not always synched with the server.

Therefore, follow these simple guidelines:

1. Check if the cursor has an item on it and execute all your pickup commands on the same line.
   Example:
   if ( not CursorHasItem() ) then PickupContainerItem(...); ... end
2. Pickup items once, and drop them once for one macro.

Good luck!
