[QUESTION] GetSpellIDByName (3.3.5a)

[Natrist]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to use the GetSpellIDByName function on patch 3.3.5a.
I've been trying with various variable types and it always crashes.

Has anyone here been able to successfully return the spell ID?

You can try http://www.wowwiki.com/API_GetSpellBookItemInfo

Thanks but that won't help me for what I'm trying to do. I'll however look into GetSpellInfo(ID);

[Natrist]

Bump. Still need help.

Maybe you should explain a bit more what you're trying to achieve and how/what you tried. Right now, you are asking for spoonfeeding.

Also, have a look at:

I'm trying to get the spell ID by name.
Basically the function takes two arguments, both integers, but I don't know what to pass to them.

Well just take a look at how the func is called and how args is handled, from what I see first arg is the char* of the spell name, and second a reference to a DWORD.

post your code

Here is the method i am using

int GetSpellIdByName(lua_State* L)
{
    // Check if the first argument is a string.
    if (!lua_isstring(L, 1))
    {
        // If not, display an error message.
        DisplayError(L, "GetSpellIdFromName: Invalid argument. Expected a string.");
        lua_pushnil(L); // Push nil onto the Lua stack to represent an error.
        return 1;       // Return the number of values pushed onto the stack (1 in this case).
    }

    // Convert the Lua string argument to a C string.
    const char* SpellName = ToString(L, 1);

    // Variables to store the rank and SpellId.
    int rank;
    int Spellid = ((int(__cdecl*)(const char*, int*))0x00540200)(SpellName, &rank);

    // Push the SpellId onto the Lua stack and return 1 (number of values pushed).
    lua_pushinteger(L, Spellid);
    return 1;
}

For a moment i thought there was a active topic. But you replied to a 10 year old topic... Good job

Id love a active wotlk 3.3.5a topic sharing idea's and stuff but seems to me no one really working on wotlk anymore.
