How get the information of an item just with the type-id? (Or at least help me with the function)

[HerlySQR]

Hello, I'm creating a save-load system, also a menu for that, it shows what items have, for the charged items I wanna also show how many charges have, the thing is I don't know how to get if a item is charged only with the type-id so I opted to create the item for get that information, the thing is (I just notice it now) where I create the item is in a if player == GetLocalPlayer() then block causing a desync, and it would be a mess put it outside, unless you have a better solution, this is the function:

-- This function always should be in a "if player == GetLocalPlayer() then" block
local function UpdateInformation()
    local data = PlayerDatas[LocalPlayer][Pressed[LocalPlayer]]
    if data then
        BlzFrameSetText(TooltipName, "|cffff6600Information|r")
        BlzFrameSetText(TooltipGold, "|cffFFCC00Gold: |r" .. data.gold)
        BlzFrameSetText(TooltipLumber, "|cff20bc20Lumber: |r" .. data.lumber)
        for i = 1, #data.digimons do
            local s = ""
            local inv = data.inventories[i]
            for j = 0, 5 do
                if inv.items[j] then
                    local m = CreateItem(inv.items[j], 0, 0) -- I don't know how to get the name and the class with only the type id
                    s = s .. GetItemName(m)
                    if GetItemType(m) == ITEM_TYPE_CHARGED then
                        s = s .. "(" .. inv.charges[j] .. ")"
                    end
                    RemoveItem(m)
                    if j ~= 5 then
                        s = s .. ", "
                    end
                end
            end
            BlzFrameSetText(TooltipDigimonItemsT[i-1], "|cff00ffffItems: |r" .. s)
            BlzFrameSetTexture(TooltipDigimonIconT[i-1], BlzGetAbilityIcon(data.digimons[i]), 0, true)
            BlzFrameSetText(TextTooltipLevelT[i-1], "|cffFFCC00Level " .. data.levels[i] .. "|r")
        end
    else
        BlzFrameSetText(TooltipName, "|cffff6600Empty|r")
        BlzFrameSetText(TooltipGold, "|cffFFCC00Gold:|r")
        BlzFrameSetText(TooltipLumber, "|cff20bc20Lumber:|r")
        for i = 0, 5 do
            BlzFrameSetText(TooltipDigimonItemsT[i], "|cff00ffffItems:|r")
            BlzFrameSetTexture(TooltipDigimonIconT[i], "ReplaceableTextures\\CommandButtons\\BTNCancel.blp", 0, true)
            BlzFrameSetText(TextTooltipLevelT[i], "|cffFFCC00Level 0|r")
        end
    end
end

Try GetObjectName(id), you can skip ItemCreation by just passing its typeid

Try GetObjectName(id)

That solves the name problem, but what happened with if is charged?

 

[Avahor]

Well, if you need to check chargues number from an item, you need to store that number into some array before entering into the function.

Like what Avahor said, you can preload all of the items at the start of the game and store information about them using tables. Something like this:

itemType = {
    classification = {},
    baseCharges = {},
    maxCharges = {}
}

function ItemTypeAdd(id)
    local m = CreateItem(id, 0, 0)
    itemType[id].classification = GetItemType(m)
    itemType[id].baseCharges = GetItemBaseCharges(m) -- not the real function
    itemType[id].maxCharges = GetItemMaxCharges(m)   -- not the real function
    RemoveItem(m)
end

function ItemTypeInit()
    ItemTypeAdd(FourCC('bspd')) -- boots of speed
    ItemTypeAdd(FourCC('wlsd')) -- wand of lightning shield
    -- etc
end

You are right in something, I can store the item class.

In the UpdateInformation function, you could just wrap around only what is needed to be in a local player block, such as the frame manipulation.

In the UpdateInformation function, you could just wrap around only what is needed to be in a local player block, such as the frame manipulation.

The thing is that function is only to edit the content of one frame and its childs.
