"Projectile or Arrow" rom API function

[kkulesza]

How do i check if an item is a Projectile or an Arrow with RoM API (ingame macro)?

[Rintintin]

The only idea i have is to put all available ammo items in a table and check against this table wheter an item is an arrow or something knifelike.

here is a very short example, of wehat i mean:

Code: Select all

function getAmmoType(_itemid)
ammotype={}
table.insert(ammotype,210295,"thrown");
table.insert(ammotype,210306,"arrow");

  if type(_itemid) == "number" then
   return ammotype[_itemid];
 end
end

the digits are the itemids
hope that helps.

RoM API (ingame macro)?

ahh i just noticed, you don't want to use rombot. So this solution is useless for you

There is no Rom API function for this, as far as I know.

But if you like to use it in a macro you can use something like this:

Code: Select all

function isAmmo(bagIndex)
  return
    string.find(GetBagItemLink(GetBagItemInfo(bagIndex)),"Arrow") > 0 
    or 
    string.find(GetBagItemLink(GetBagItemInfo(bagIndex)),"Projectile") > 0 
end;

SendChatMessage(tostring(isAmmo(1)),"SAY")

It is not perfect. If an item should have "Arrow" or "Projectile" in its regular name, it will also return true.
For a perfect solution, you need to parse the ItemLink. Look into the source of Lootomatic for this.

Use IGSC to define the function. Then you can use it in a macro with: /igs Script1
