ContainerIDToInventoryID -Documentation by Luke1410-

---

Arguments

(bagID)

bagID

bagID - number of the bag (0-11) to get the inventoryID for.

Note: After TBC Closed Beta patch v2.0.3.6299 (8th Jan 2007), inputs outside the range of 0-11 (0-4 for bags, and 5-11 for bank) now throw "invalid container ID" errors.

---

Returns

inventoryID

inventoryID - the bag's inventory ID used in functions like PutItemInBag(inventoryId) and GetInventoryItemLink("player",inventoryId)

---

Examples

local invID = ContainerIDToInventoryID(1)  
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Bag slot 1 is inventory slot "..invID)

---

Result

Bag slot 1 is inventory slot 20

---

Notes

The return of container IDs -2 (key ring), -1 (bank) and 0 (backpack) aren't actual Inventory slots usable by most Inventory functions.

The player bags begin at container 1 and inventory 20.

The bank bags begin at container 5 and inventory 68.
