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. As of 2.3 (11/12/2007) passing in a bagID of 0 throws an "Invalid Container ID" error.

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.
