GameTooltip SetBagItem() not working for bank slots

My Bagnon plugin relys on scanning item tooltips.

However, it seems that
SetBagItem(self:GetBag(), self:GetID())
does have no effect for items in bank slots (self:GetBag() == -1).

I am using this SetHyperlink() workaround, but is there really no proper way?

(Sorry for not providing a minimum working example that would run without Bagnon. Maybe someone can tell me how to hook OnEnter for item slots in general?)

Code:

-- Tooltip used for scanning.

local scannerTooltip = CreateFrame("GameTooltip", "BagnonRequiredLevelScannerTooltip", nil, "GameTooltipTemplate")

scannerTooltip:SetOwner(WorldFrame, "ANCHOR_NONE")



-- Function to set the tooltip to the current item.

local SetTooltip = function(self)

  

  -- Skip non-item slots.

  if(not self:GetItem()) then return end



  -- Set the tooltip to current item.

  if (self:GetBag() == -1) then

    scannerTooltip:SetHyperlink(self:GetItem())

  else

    scannerTooltip:SetBagItem(self:GetBag(), self:GetID())

  end



  -- Print the first tooltip line.

  print(time(), _G[scannerTooltip:GetName().."TextLeft1"]:GetText())

  

end



hooksecurefunc(Bagnon.ItemSlot, "OnEnter", SetTooltip)

Thanks!

Lua Code:

GameTooltip:SetInventoryItem('player', slotID)

Where slotID is 40-67.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I tried

Code:

  -- Set the tooltip to current item.

  if (self:GetBag() == -1) then

    scannerTooltip:SetInventoryItem('player', self:GetID()+39)

  else

    scannerTooltip:SetBagItem(self:GetBag(), self:GetID())

  end

but the tooltips for bank slots remain empty. Am I missing something?

Try explicitly calling :Show() on the tooltip before attempting to read it.

Thanks again for your help!

It turned out that the error was something else:
Apparently, the slotIDs for bank are now 48-75.

When I changed the line in my code above to

Code:

scannerTooltip:SetInventoryItem('player', self:GetID()+47)

it worked fine!

As of 8.3 you need to do

Code:

scannerTooltip:SetInventoryItem('player', itemSlot:GetID()+51)

I typically use BankButtonIDToInvSlotID() to get the offset.

Hey, thanks! I did not know of this function. With it I do not have to manually hardcode the offset any more.
