Unequip, make set, and then use set.

[Walkerbo]

I want to unequip all items, create a naked equipment set, then register the PLAYER_EQUIPMENT_CHANGED event, and then use the naked set to be applied when I try to equip any items.

Here is the unequip function.

local InventorySlots = {
    INVSLOT_AMMO,
    INVSLOT_HEAD,
    INVSLOT_NECK,
    INVSLOT_SHOULDER,
    INVSLOT_BODY,
    INVSLOT_CHEST,
    INVSLOT_WAIST,
    INVSLOT_LEGS,
    INVSLOT_FEET,
    INVSLOT_WRIST,
    INVSLOT_HAND,
    INVSLOT_FINGER1,
    INVSLOT_FINGER2,
    INVSLOT_TRINKET1,
    INVSLOT_TRINKET2,
    INVSLOT_BACK,
--    INVSLOT_MAINHAND,
--    INVSLOT_OFFHAND,
--    INVSLOT_RANGED,
    INVSLOT_TABARD
}
 
local function UnequipAll()
    if #InventorySlots <= 0 then
        return
    end
    local slotindex = 1
    ClearCursor()
    for bag = NUM_TOTAL_EQUIPPED_BAG_SLOTS, 0, -1 do 
        local free, type = C_Container.GetContainerNumFreeSlots(bag)
        free = (type == 0 and free or 0)
        for _ = 1, free do
            local invslot = InventorySlots[slotindex]
            while not GetInventoryItemID("player", invslot) do
                if slotindex < #InventorySlots then
                    slotindex = slotindex + 1
                else
                    return
                end
                invslot = InventorySlots[slotindex]
            end
            PickupInventoryItem(invslot);
            (bag == 0 and PutItemInBackpack or PutItemInBag)(C_Container.ContainerIDToInventoryID(bag))
            if slotindex < #InventorySlots then
                slotindex = slotindex + 1
            else
                return
            end
        end
    end
end

I then have a button the the player clicks to run the unequid function.

"OnClick",
    function()
        if not IronManCharacterVariables.isAttemptingIronMan then            
            UnequipAll()
            IronManCharacterVariables.isAttemptingIronMan = true
        end
    )
    C_EquipmentSet.CreateEquipmentSet("IronMan", 1035053)("PLAYER_EQUIPMENT_CHANGED")

This is where I track the event.

elseif event == "PLAYER_EQUIPMENT_CHANGED" then
if not IronManCharacterVariables.isAttemptingIronMan then
    C_EquipmentSet.UseEquipmentSet(0)
end

The issue I have is that it does unequip all but the event triggers even though it has not been registered until after the unequip function, and the naked set never saves.

I have uploaded my full code on Pastebin.

I have been banging away at this for a couple of weeks without success, so any help would be great.

PLAYER_EQUIPMENT_CHANGED fires when the server acknowledges that your equipment has changed. Due to the nature of server-client communication, there's always going to be some latency to it. It may be a good idea to check if your equipment set is already equipped or scan the inventory for equipped items instead of just blindly trying to select the set.

Hi SDPhantom

Thanks for your post, the server lag while not significant was the culprit, I added a simple wait after the unequip all and that works for me.

The point was more along the lines of the UI being a single-threaded process. Because PLAYER_EQUIPMENT_CHANGED is a communication-based event instead of a UI-based one, it can't fire while you have code still running.
