Spell Number Listing

[fvisker]

I am looking for a by number listing for warrior spells/abilities.

Right now all I know is that:

Overpower(rank 3) = 76
Overpower(rank 4) = 77
Execute(rank 4) = 80

It doesn't seem to follow any pattern that I can see, can anyone help me please? Just counting the actions doesn't seem to work, as nothing adds up right.

Use this function to get spellid:

function GetSpellID(spellname)

local i,done,name,id,spellrank=1,false;
_,_,spellrank = string.find(spellname,"%((Rank %d+)%)");
spellname = string.gsub(spellname,"%(Rank %d+%)","");
while not done do

name,rank = GetSpellName(i,BOOKTYPE_SPELL);
if not name then

done=true;

elseif (name==spellname and not spellrank) or (name==spellname and rank==spellrank) then

id = i;

end i = i+1;

end
return id

end
--

to use:

id = GetSpellID("Overpower")
id = GetSpellID("Heroic Strike(Rank 2)")

Hmm do warrior skills have ranks? Ranks is optional in the function. If you don't give it one, it will return the highest rank. Or nil if the spell can't be found. (and spell+rank if rank is explicitly declared)

If not sure how to use it, wrap it in a minimal addon. Make the two files with the bold filenames and stick them in a directory called Startup under AddOns:

Startup.toc
## Interface: 1600
## Title: Startup
## Notes: Executes startup scripts
Startup.xml

Startup.xml
<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/">
<Script>
function GetSpellID(spellname)

local i,done,name,id,spellrank=1,false;
_,_,spellrank = string.find(spellname,"%((Rank %d+)%)");
spellname = string.gsub(spellname,"%(Rank %d+%)","");
while not done do

name,rank = GetSpellName(i,BOOKTYPE_SPELL);
if not name then

done=true;

elseif (name==spellname and not spellrank) or (name==spellname and rank==spellrank) then

id = i;

end i = i+1;

end
return id

end
</Script>
</Ui>

Then you can use GetSpellID within scripts. Tho be aware that the numbers returned won't be the same for everyone. The closest is at 60 when everyone has almost all their spells.

If you're looking for the action id, which is used in IsActionInRange(slot), then use this function:

function GetActionID(actionname)

local i,id;
for i=1,120 do

GameTooltip:SetAction(i)
if GameTooltipTextLeft1:GetText()==actionname then

id,i = i,120

end

end
return id

end
--

to use:
slot = GetActionID("Overpower")
slot = GetActionID("Heroic Strike")

This will return the slot number for the macro/spell name you give it, without the ranks. If you want you can stick it at the end of the .xml above just after the "end" and before the "</Script>"

edit: note the way it abuses GameTooltip is not "friendly" to other mods. I would use this function for discovery purposes only. If you wanted to put it in a released mod/macro collection, you'll want to make your own tooltip inherited from GameTooltip.
