Known Issues
If called early in the loading process, before COMPANION_UPDATE fires, GetCompanionInfo returns companions in the order that they were learned by the current character. After COMPANION_UPDATE has fired at least once, GetCompanionInfo returns companions in alphabetical order. This information is accurate as of WoW 3.1.2.
Example
for i=1,GetNumCompanions("CRITTER") do
local creatureID, creatureName, creatureSpellID, icon, issummoned = GetCompanionInfo("CRITTER", i);
print(creatureID, creatureSpellID, creatureName, icon, issummoned)
end
Result
- Prints all the information regarding your pets to the chat frame.
