Returns info for an item attached to a message in the mailbox.
name, itemID, texture, count, quality, canUse = GetInboxItem(index, itemIndex)
Arguments
- index
- number - The index of the message to query, in the range [1,GetInboxNumItems()]
- itemIndex
- number - The index of the item to query, in the range [1,ATTACHMENTS_MAX_RECEIVE]
Returns
- name
- string - The localized name of the item
- itemID
- number - Numeric ID of the item.
- texture
- string - The path to the icon texture for the item
- count
- number - The number of items in the stack
- quality
- number - The quality index of the item
- canUse
- boolean - 1 if the player can use the item, or nil otherwise
Example
Loop over all messages currently in the player's mailbox, get information about the items attached to them, and print it to the chat frame:
for i = 1, GetInboxNumItems() do
-- An underscore is commonly used to name variables you aren't going to use in your code:
local _, _, sender, subject, _, _, _, hasItem = GetInboxHeaderInfo(i)
if hasItem then
print("Message", subject, "from", sender, "has attachments:")
for j = 1, ATTACHMENTS_MAX_RECEIVE do
local name, itemID, texture, count, quality, canUse = GetInboxItem(i, j)
if name then
-- Construct an inline texture sequence:
print("\128T"..texture..":0\128t", name, "x", count)
end
end
else
print("Message", subject, "from", sender, "has no attachments.")
end
end
Details
- 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 GetInboxItemLink, and pass the link to GetItemInfo.
Patch changes
Patch 7.0.3 (2016-07-19): itemID return added between name and texture.
