WoW API: GetLFGTypeEntries
Returns all available LFG objectives for a category
objective1, objective2, objective3, ... = GetLFGTypeEntries(category)
Takes
- Number category
- Index of the category to retrieve objectives for
Returns
- String objectiveN
- Name of Nth objective
Events
- Needs UPDATE_LFG_LIST
Details
- This always only returns objectives fitting for your level, however WoW is very tolerant here. The results in the example are from a level 44 character.
- Also, WoW does not distinguish between hostile and friendy area when doing a lookup in the zone category, this is probably quite useful for arranging raids onto enemy territory, especially because dishonorable kills probably will be gone with the new honor system in Burning Crusade.
- When using this function to feed other LFG functions with its results, remember that these functions only want the index of the value, not the value itself. If you wanted to use 'Maraudon' as objective, you would have to supply the number 2. Look at the example!
Example
- local entries = {GetLFGTypeEntries(1)} for i,objective in entries do DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(format('Objective %u: %s', i, objective)) end Output: Objective 1: Razorfen Downs Objective 2: Maraudon Objective 3: Scarlet Monastery Objective 4: Uldaman Objective 5: Sunken Temple Objective 6: Zul'Farrak
