Returns the total number of tabs of talents one has.
numTabs = GetNumTalentTabs([inspect[,pet]]);
- Arguments
- inspect
- Boolean - If true returns the information for the inspected unit instead of the player. New with 2.3.
- pet
- Boolean - If true returns the information for the pet instead of the player. New with 2.3.
- Returns
- numTabs
- Integer - The number of tabs one has.
- Example
local numTabs = GetNumTalentTabs() DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage( numTabs )
- Results
- Displays the number of talents tabs one has.
- Useful code: iteration over all talents
function talentpairs(inspect,pet)
local tab,tal=1,0
return function()
tal=tal+1
if tal>GetNumTalents(tab,inspect,pet) then
tal=1
tab=tab+1
end
if tab<=GetNumTalentTabs(inspect,pet) then
return tab,tal
end
end
end
Now,
for tab,talent in talentpairs() do DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(tab..","..talent) end
- prints all player's tab-talent pairs from 1,1 through 3,20-something.
for tab,talent in talentpairs(false,true) do DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(tab..","..talent) end
- prints all player's pet's tab-talent pairs; doesn't execute at all if the player has no pet.
for tab,talent in talentpairs(true) do DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(tab..","..talent) end
- prints all inspected player's tab-talent pairs; doesn't execute at all if there is no inspected player.
- Caveats
There is a really annoying bug with this where it will sometimes return that there are 0 tabs. Doing a reload of the User Interface appears to clear it up, but that's of limited utility. Either avoid using this API, or include code to handle the case where it returns 0.
This has only happened to me at startup, if talents are checked before PLAYER_ALIVE fires. They may not be available to the API before that event. - Sine Pi (talk) 12:42, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
