get item level first result incorrect

[Spawnova]

I'm using an edited code to retrieve a targets current equipped item level and it always returns the wrong value the first time, but the correct value all times after that.

here what I have so far:

local u,t,c,l="target"
    t,c=0,0
    for i=1,17 do l=GetInventoryItemLink(u,i)
        if l and i~=4 then 
            _,_,_,l=GetItemInfo(l)
            c=c+1 
            t=t+l 
        end 
    end 
print(u .. "'s Item Level is: " t/c)

I Can't see the problem maybe someone else can =)

The information is available the second time because by inspecting the char for checking the values by hand invokes the following (I guess you check it by using the inspect window ):

Use this and wait for the relevant event to fire before you use your script.

Edit: While it "should" be no problem to use the _ not as a local it is good practice to make it local to make sure you dont mess in the global space.

I did what you said but it didn't work, I did manage to fix it though, but now I ran into another problem, using GetItemInfo to get item level does not include upgraded levels so a 522 upgraded to 530 only shows as 522

how do I get the upgraded levels aswell?

Unless i've overlooked something, the only functions that return upgrade info only do so when you are at the upgrade vendor with an item selected. If you need this info elsewhere you will need to mine the tooltip for it.

You can also check the upgrade level by parsing the itemString in an itemLink:

Everything works now =D I used phanx's code from another similar topic http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=45388
