How to get item id's of equipped items

[Robske]

As the title suggests,

I'm looking for a way to retrieve the item id's of the inventory (the equipped items) of friendly and hostile players alike.

The item id's stored in the descriptors are those of the visible items, now used by transmogrification - useless to what I have in mind.

API GetInventoryItemID - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft retrieves the item id of the visible item if queried on anything but the active player, otherwise it returns the actual item.
API NotifyInspect - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft will raise INSPECT_READY but not UNIT_INVENTORY_CHANGED (item id's stay the same)

Any thoughts?

Solved.

First, issue a API NotifyInspect - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft
Once you've recieved INSPECT_READY you can do the following

GetItemInfo(GetInventoryItemLink(unit, i)) will return the actual item
GetItemInfo(GetInventoryItemId(unit, i)) will return the visible item

Item id's of the last inspected player are at [dword_106B5A0 + 96 * slot + 8 + 8] (some method in Script_GetInventoryItemLink) (build 16357)

Good to know, I always tought it was available from player fields for every players.

It's far more annoying (to handle in a clean way) than I expected...

NotifyInspect(target) is throttled by the server and must be done sequentially
it raises the INSPECT_READY event, at this point the item id's are available

GetItemInfo(id) may also cause a server request but can be done in parallel
it raises the GET_ITEM_INFO_RECEIVED event, at this point one of the item's data is available

example:
NotifyInspect( guid )
wait
INSPECT_READY
GetItemInfo( id ) times 19
wait
GET_ITEM_INFO_RECEIVED times 19 (one for each GetItemInfo call that returned nil)
next

The joy of async ~~

You can only pull the display IDs from the descriptors (basically)

To get the actual items equipped, you do need to run through the whole inspection process, which is slow, and as you noted, throttled.

And of course... you can't inspect hostile players...
