Returns info for an item attached in the outgoing message.
name, itemID, texture, count, quality = GetSendMailItem(index)
Parameters
- index
- number - The index of the attachment to query, in the range of [1,ATTACHMENTS_MAX_SEND]
Returns
- name
- string - The localized name of the item
- itemID
- number - Numeric ID of the item.
- texture
- string - The icon texture for the item
- count
- number - The number of items in the stack
- quality
- number - The quality index of the item (0-6)
Example
The following code will loop over all the items currently attached to the send mail frame, and print information about them to the chat frame:
for i = 1, ATTACHMENTS_MAX_SEND do
local name, itemID, texture, count, quality = GetSendMailItem(i)
if name then
-- Construct an inline texture sequence:
print("You are sending", "\124T"..texture..":0\124t", name, "x", count)
end
end
Details
- Requires that the mailbox window is open.
- ATTACHMENTS_MAX_SEND is defined in Constants.lua, and currently (Jan 2014) has a value of 12. Using this variable instead of a hardcoded 12 is recommended in case Blizzard changes the maximum number of items that may be attached to a single message.
- As of 2.3.3 this function is bugged and the quality is always returned as -1. If you need to know the item's quality, get a link for the item using GetSendMailItemLink, and pass the link to GetItemInfo.
Patch changes
Patch 7.0.3 (2016-07-19): itemID return added between name and texture.
