(bag,slot)

bag

number - number of the bag the item is in, 1 is your backpack, 2-5 are the four additional bags

slot

number - slot number of the bag item you want the info for.

---

Returns

texture, itemCount, locked, quality, readable

texture - the texture for the item in the specified bag slot

itemCount - the number of items in the specified bag slot

locked - true if locked; that is, a stack that cannot be split

quality - the numeric quality of the item

readable - true if the item can be "read" (as in a book)

---

Examples

local texture, itemCount = GetContainerItemInfo(1,2);

If you are only interested in one of these values you can use the _ character to ignore the texture or the itemCount.

local _,itemCount = GetContainerItemInfo(1,2);
local texture,_ = GetContainerItemInfo(1,2);

See also: GetInventorySlotInfo to get the same information from a player's inventory (or equipped items).

---

Result

The texture variable will contain the item's texture and the itemCount variable will contain the number of that item in the slot.

quality result does not appear to directly correspond with the color used to display the item name, it only appears to be defined for equipment (as opposed to trade items).

readable simply marks if there is text related to the item. When it's true, the default UI changes the cursor to the "Read" cursor (the magnifying glass) when the mouse is over the item button.
