Questcompletion macro

Hi,

Is there a way to print quest names only by providing quest ID numbers in a macro?

This would solve my space issues, I need to check 9-10 quests at once in a vertical list of quest names colored by completion:

Is that possible to modify this macro to remove manually added quest names and list it vertically?

Code:

/run local t,s={"Terrorfist",39288,"Vengeance",39290,"Deathtalon",39287,"Doomroller",39289},'' for i=1,#t-1,2 do s=s..(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(t[i+1]) and '\124cffff0000' or '\124cff00ff00')..t[i]..'\124r, ' end print(s:sub(1,-3))

It would be even greater if I could mix it so where I want I could replace the stock quest names with manual text.

Are these options possible without using a macro extender addon?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't tested it yet, but maybe C_TaskQuest.GetQuestTitleByQuestID().

Can this be used in macros? I'm completely newb for macros. :confused:

Oh, forgot to mention I'm looking for solution for the Legion api. Not sure if this changes anything.

That function is specifically for "task" quests and won't work for you. It's possible to get a quest name from a quest ID through tooltip scanning, but not in a way that would shorten your macro.

dam! sad to hear.. :(

Thanks for the replies anyway! :p

Would you help me on how can I sort the list of quest for the macro above vertically?

I'm not really sure what you're asking, if you want to output the names on separate lines you can do it like this..

Lua Code:

/run local t={"Terrorfist",39288,"Vengeance",39290,"Deathtalon",39287,"Doomroller",39289}for i=1,#t-1,2 do print((IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(t[i+1]) and '\124cffff0000' or '\124cff00ff00')..t[i])end

It's "sorted" by the order you have them in, so if you want them in a different order, just rearrange the list.

You don't need to specify the end as #t-1. It'll stop if the step bumps the integer past the end. For example, for i=1,4,2 do will loop 1 and 3, then stop, because 5 will be greater than 4.

Yea, that's what I was looking for, a vertical sorting. Thank you.

He just means you can replace #t-1 with #t, it doesn't change the functionality but it saves a couple characters in the macro.
