GetTalentInfo(x,y)

[potbellypig]

function TEST()
	local numTabs = GetNumTalentTabs();
	DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(numTabs)
	for x=1, numTabs do
		DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(GetTalentTabInfo(x));
		local numTalents = GetNumTalents(x);
		for y=1, numTalents do
			talentName, icon, tier, column, rank, maxRank= GetTalentInfo(x,y);
			DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(talentName..": "..rank.."/"..maxRank);
		end

This works for every class except for mages. When executed on a mage the following error occurs:

Message: Interface\AddOns\GearComparison\GearComparison.lua:109: attempt to concatenate global 'talentName' (a nil value) Time: 01/07/11 17:08:32 Count: 1 Stack: Interface\AddOns\GearComparison\GearComparison.lua:109: in function `?'

Whats going on here?

This works fine for me:

for tab = 1, GetNumTalentTabs() do
    for talent = 1, GetNumTalents(tab) do
        print(GetTalentInfo(tab, talent))
    end
end

Okay, for every other class, using the cose i posted I am able to sort through and determine spec by currRank / maxRank. How would I do this with the rainbow of pretty text that your code prints? (I've been teaching myself so far, treat me like an infant if you must, just don't put me down for it... I know its probably very obvious)

If all you are interested in is determining which spec a player is, you can use GetPrimaryTalentTree in conjunction with GetTalentTabInfo.

local tab = GetPrimaryTalentTree()
local name = select(2, GetTalentTabInfo(tab))
print(name)

This prints Survival for example, on a hunter who has chosen Survival as their main tree.
