Getting Highest Available SpellID

[oldmanofmen]

I've been trying to get the highest available spellID using:

docs/api/FindSpellBookSlotByID - World of Warcraft Programming: A Guide and Reference for Creating WoW Addons
and
GetKnownSlotFromHighestRankSlot - World of Warcraft Programming: A Guide and Reference for Creating WoW Addons

my code is:

int slot = SpellSlotByID(spellID);
int maxSpellSlot = MaxRankSlotByID(slot);
DoString("CastSpell(" + maxSpell +", \"spell\");");

This has never returned the correct highest available spell from the lowest rank's spellID. Does anyone know how i might be able to change the code to display the max spell rank's slot id?

i'd suggest using CastSpellByName,this way it will simply cast the highest spell

But, the spell name you specify will only be compatible for one client e.g the wow english client. If you ran that lua command on a french client it'd do nothing.

hm true...always used the english client,so this wasn't a problem for me

If there is some sort of check to see if you have a spell, you can just check them all one by one (starting from highest to lowest).

Or you can make a "database" of spellnames in every localization, check which language the client is running, and cast accordingly.

KnownSpell = 0x00BE5D88, // 3.3.5a 12340

Is a array of known spell id, it show highest rank only.

Inside the DoString func, shouldn't the "maxSpell" be "maxSpellSlot"?

If only there existed such a database...

Oh wait. Spell.dbc - WoW.Dev Wiki

It's what I was refering to.

Except your way would be the stupidest way to do it. The best way to do it is to parse the English Spell.dbc and then just use CastSpellById. Works on every client.

Spell Global ID is universal across all clients of different languages. Gain these IDs in one client then record them as a list in your BOTs. Use GetSpellInfo(spellid) to get the spell name and rank then call RunMacroText("/cast " .. name(rank)) to cast them.
"Macro Text" is a very flexible way out.
