Macro Item Links

Example syntax for creating a trade chat macro with an item link:

/run SendChatMessage(format("WTS %s (226) 725k ",select(2,GetItemInfo("item:183010:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:4:7187:6652:1498:6646"))),CHANNEL,nil,GetChannelName("Trade - City"))

Format() #

-- Input:
/run SendChatMessage(format("This is a %s", "Test"), "Party")

-- Output:
"This is a Test"

• :::lua format(".. %s ..", "text") - basic text replacement with %s being replaced by text.

GetItemInfo() #

GetItemInfo(itemID or "itemString" or "itemName" or "itemLink") = itemName, itemLink, itemRarity, itemLevel, itemMinLevel, itemType, itemSubType, itemStackCount, itemEquipLoc, itemTexture, itemSellPrice

• itemID - numeric ID of the item. e.g. 12345
• "itemString" - full item ID enclosed in quotes, e.g. "item:183010:0"
  • partial item strings automatically fill any missing values with 0
• "itemName"
• itemLink : - from shift-clicking items

Select() #

:::lua select(2, ..) returns the second value from a list of values.
