Action Slot IDs can vary for some classes and are completely arbitrary to the buttons they exist in. As of 1.11, World of Warcraft allows 120 Action Slot IDs, numbered from 1-120. The IDs 1-72 are used by the six default bars (see below for the button ranges). IDs 73-108 are used by the stance bars of some classes. IDs 109-120 have no default uses.

Example Code

This function will display the contents of each of the 120 action slots (skipping empty ones) in the default chat frame. To use, type "/script reportActionButtions()".

function reportActionButtons()
 for local lActionSlot = 1, 120 do
  local lActionText = GetActionText(lActionSlot)
  local lActionTexture = GetActionTexture(lActionSlot)

  if lActionTexture then
   local lMessage = "Slot " .. lActionSlot .. ": [" .. lActionTexture .. "]"

   if lActionText then lMessage = lMessage .. " \"" .. lActionText .. "\""

   DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(lMessage)
  end
 end
end
