ItemLink for moused over item in BAG_WORN

[Rhalyf]

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I can't seem to figure it out yet...

For my Glyph Tooltips AddOn, I get the info (bag/slot) I need to build the ItemLink from moc().dataEntry.data. dataEntry doesn't appear to be defined when mousing over equipped items (BAG_WORN). Am I going about this the wrong way?

Does anyone know of any AddOns that modify the tooltip for equipped items that I could look at the source for?

Thanks!

I've thought of a kludgy way I can do this... I can do string comparisons on the control name since the name of the control for chest is 'ZO_CharacterEquipmentSlotChest'. It's gross but from there I can figure out the slotIndex and the the bagId is BAG_WORN...

If anyone can think of a better way for this, lemme know because this hurts me to code this lol

ItemTooltip.SetWornItem(self,slotIndex)

the method is just for the BAG_WORN so no need to redefine it in the args... take a look at the control page, section tootltips on the wiki

local yourfunction = ItemTooltip.SetWornItem ItemTooltip.SetWornItem = function(self, slotIndex,...) yourfunction(self,slotIndex,...) doyourthings() end

in the great lines.

sorry i forgot the essential :GetItemLink(BAG_WORN, slotIndex)

I'm not sure, if I got, what you want to do. But I think you want to take a look to:
GetEquippedItemInfo(index)
or want to hook
ItemTooltip:SetWornItem(index)

Edit 1: Got ninja'd by Wandamey

That's a lot more attractive, thanks!

EDIT: I got ninja'd by votan. Thanks to you both.

alternatively you can do whatever you want on a hook... edit the tooltip, launch a function to prepare the dinner, wait what time is it?

This was already answered, but I already have the code written in an addon so I'll copy & paste part of it as an example & add something to the other responses:

-- Function to add line to tooltip
local function AddToolTipLine(ItemToolTip, bagId, slotIndex)
    -- Get the slot data (if your only doing this for bag items)
    local slotData = SHARED_INVENTORY:GenerateSingleSlotData(bagId, slotIndex)
    local itemName = slotData.name
    local newLine = zo_strformat("This item is called: <<1>>", itemName)
    
    ItemToolTip:AddLine(newLine, "ZoFontGame", 1, 0, 0, LEFT, MODIFY_TEXT_TYPE_NONE, LEFT, false)
end
 
-- Hook SetBagItem
local hSetBagItem = ItemTooltip.SetBagItem
ItemTooltip.SetBagItem = function(control, bagId, slotIndex, ...)
    hSetBagItem(control, bagId, slotIndex, ...)
    AddToolTipLine(control, bagId, slotIndex)
end
 
-- Hook SetWornItem
local hSetWornItem = ItemTooltip.SetWornItem
ItemTooltip.SetWornItem = function(control, slotIndex, ...)
    hSetWornItem(control, slotIndex, ...)
    AddToolTipLine(control, BAG_WORN, slotIndex)
end

Also if you /zgoo ItemTooltip, or look at: ingame/inventory/inventoryslot.lua & search for

-- Approximately line 1684 in version esoui 2.0.12
local InventoryEnter =
{
    [SLOT_TYPE_QUEST_ITEM] =
 ....

you can examine all of the slotTypes to see which set function they call, in case you want to do this with more slot types than just bag & worn. For example you may want to do this for trading house items as well:

local hSetTradingHouseBagItem = ItemTooltip.SetTradingHouseItem
ItemTooltip.SetTradingHouseItem = function(control, tradingHouseSlotIndex, ...)
    hSetTradingHouseBagItem(control, tradingHouseSlotIndex, ...)
    AddToolTipLine(control, nil, , nil, tradingHouseSlotIndex)
end

If you want to do it in the trading house, you can still use the same AddToolTipLine(..), but you have to get the link a different way:

local function AddToolTipLine(itemToolTip, bagId, slotIndex, TradingHouseSlotIndex)
    if not JunkIt.SavedVariables["RESEARCHTOOLTIPS"] then return end
    
    local itemLink
 
    if bagId and slotIndex then
        itemLink = GetItemLink(bagId, slotIndex)
    elseif TradingHouseSlotIndex and TRADING_HOUSE:IsAtTradingHouse() then
        if TRADING_HOUSE.m_searchResultsList and TRADING_HOUSE.m_searchResultsList.data and TRADING_HOUSE.m_searchResultsList.data[TradingHouseSlotIndex] then
        itemLink = GetTradingHouseSearchResultItemLink(TradingHouseSlotIndex)
        end
    end
   ...

And last I'll throw this out here, because I remember when I was doing this I made a type-o & couldn't figure out why I was getting strange results:

--returns "Elegant Hat" link (for me at least & no I don't even have one)
GetItemLink(nil, nil)
 
-- returns "[Empty String]"
GetItemLink(nil, <invalid slotIndex thats not nil>) 
 
-- defaults to bagId == 1
GetItemLink(<nil or invalid bagId>, <valid slotIndex>) 
 
-- So don't try doing:
if not itemLink then return end
-- and thinking that will be a good check for all errors

Thanks for all the info guys. I've got some refactoring to do. :]

EDIT: I was attempting to do this with PreHookHandlers and having to worry about race conditions and holy crap this is so much cleaner. Guess I'll be refactoring SousChef too :]

If you're super bored some day you can also try to make a /zgoo mouse on the ItemTooltip
