← WoW API < GetMasterLootCandidate

Returns the name of the player at the specified index, who would receive an item assigned by GiveMasterLoot(slot, index) using the same index.

candidate = GetMasterLootCandidate(index);

Parameters

Arguments

index

The number of the player whose name you wish to return. Typically between 1 and 40. Can exceed the value of GetNumRaidMembers()

Returns

candidate

The name of the player at index.

Example

for i = 1, 40 do
  if GetMasterLootCandidate(i)then
    DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(i.." -> "..GetMasterLootCandidate(i))
  end
end

Lists master loot candidates by index. - These are the people capable of receiving loot from the Master Looter. This function is only useable by the master looter.

See Also

• GetNumRaidMembers()
• GiveMasterLoot(slot, index)

Notes

This appears not to work unless you are the master looter, and not until the list of candidates has been built by the system, which looks like after you first try and assign an item.

Also if you were master looter of a group, and then join another group later and are not the master looter, it will return the names of candidates from your previous group. -- Haarm
