Using GetBindingKey() on MultiActionBars

Hi,

I am currently having trouble with GetBindingKey() when trying to fetch the keybinds of the Multi Action Bars. Below is a sample code of my current AddOn.

Code:

local dashingDismount = CreateFrame("Frame")



function dashingBindings()

        local buttonName

        local actionType, id, _, actionName

        local key1, key2

        local ActionBars = {"Action","MultiBarBottomLeft","MultiBarBottomRight","MultiBarLeft","MultiBarRight"}

        

        for bar = 1, #ActionBars do

                for i = 1, 12 do

                        buttonName = ActionBars[bar] .. "Button" .. i

                                                

                        actionType, id, _ = GetActionInfo(_G[buttonName].action)

                        actionName = GetSpellInfo(id)



                        print(buttonName)



                        key1, key2 = GetBindingKey(buttonName)



                    if key1 ~= nil then

                                print(key1)

                    end

                    if key2 ~= nil then

                                print(key2)

                    end

                end

        end

end



local function dashingInit(self, event, ...)

        dashingBindings()

end



dashingDismount:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")

dashingDismount:SetScript("OnEvent", dashingInit)

The code only manages to print(key1) for ActionButton1 to ActionButton12. MultiBarBottomLeftButton1 and beyond do not get to the print() at all. Am I missing something obvious?

Not sure why you assumed that the button names would correspond to the binding names,
but e.g. MultiBarBottomLeftButton1 is actually MULTIACTIONBAR1BUTTON1 in the binding manifest.
ActionButton1 just happens to correspond to ACTIONBUTTON1, but they are not the same.

I made that assumption since the examples that I have seen uses them. However, I have tried and GetBindingKey() seems to be case sensitive: ActionButton1 works, while ACTIONBUTTON1 and any other variation does not.

After an hour of tinkering and trial-and-error I simply can't get MULTIACTIONBAR1BUTTON1 or MultiActionBar1Button1 to work.

With the following code I also only managed to get it to work with ActionButton1:

Code:

local function dashingBindings(low, high)

        for i=low,high do

                local Button

                local actionType, id, _

                local actionName

                local command, _, key1, key2 = GetBinding(i)

                

                if not command:find("HEADER_BLANK") then

                        print(command)

                

                        Button = string.gsub(_G["BINDING_NAME_" .. command], " ", "")

                        

                        print(Button)

                        if _G[Button] ~= nil then

                                actionType, id, _ = GetActionInfo(ActionButton_CalculateAction(_G[Button]))

                                actionName = GetSpellInfo(id)

                

                                if key1 ~= nil then

                                        print(key1)

                                end

                                if key2 ~= nil then

                                        print(key2)

                                end

                        end        

                end        

        end

end



local function dashingInit(self, event, ...)

        dashingBindings(31,42)

        dashingBindings(74,121)

end

The problem here is that Button = string.gsub(_G["BINDING_NAME_" .. command], " ", "") will produce the string BottomLeftActionButton1 while the variable "command" will contain the string MULTIACTIONBAR1BUTTON1. Not been able to utilize "command" with the GetBindingKey() function.

I seemingly can't get it to work at all, so if you have any suggestions where to go from here that would be great. If anyone else has any ideas, feel free to post them.
